Director, Financial Planning & Analysis
About the Company
The company is a fast-growing fiber internet provider serving residential and business customers across Colombia. It builds and operates its own network infrastructure, delivering high-quality connectivity in underserved markets.
The Role
We're looking for an experienced FP&A Director to serve as a player-coach for a junior finance team. Reporting to the VP of Finance, you'll own the FP&A function day-to-day — setting priorities, editing and elevating outputs, and stepping in as a direct contributor when needed. This is not a purely managerial role.
You are AI-native. That means AI is your default — how you build models, run analysis, and produce reporting. You bring that approach to the team and raise their ceiling as a result.
You'll also be the connective tissue between the FP&A team and the rest of the organization. This requires a polished communicator who builds trust quickly — with department heads, senior leadership, and the team itself.
This is a dedicated FP&A seat — budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and business partnering. The VP of Finance sets overall finance strategy and holds final sign-off on the budget and board materials. Strategic finance, corporate development, and investor relations are owned by a separate Manager, Strategic Finance; you'll work closely with them, but those workstreams sit outside this role.
What You'll Do
Budgeting & Planning Own the full annual budget process — from kickoff with department heads through to board approval. Lead rolling forecast cycles (monthly and quarterly), ensuring every business unit is aligned and accountable. Own and evolve the integrated financial model (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, capex). Develop scenario and sensitivity analyses — pricing, opex, network expansion capex — to support planning decisions.
Reporting & Performance Management Own end-to-end delivery of the monthly close package — actuals vs. budget vs. prior period with clear written commentary. Prepare quarterly board reporting packages — accurate numbers with clear variance commentary; investor-facing narrative and messaging sit with the Manager, Strategic Finance. Own the company's KPI framework — unit economics, subscriber metrics, network performance. Coordinate with accounting and external auditors to ensure FP&A outputs align with statutory reporting.
Business Partnering Serve as the primary finance partner to Operations, Sales, and Network teams — translating strategy into financial plans. Lead capex analysis and investment cases for network expansion and infrastructure decisions. Drive margin and cost analysis across the business; surface and prioritize improvement opportunities. Support ad hoc financial analysis for department heads — pricing changes, hiring plans, vendor decisions.
Analysis & Insight Translate budget and forecast variances into clear, actionable commentary for department heads and the VP of Finance. Build recurring analytical views — unit economics, cohort and payback analysis, cost per subscriber — that support planning and forecasting. Flag off-plan trends and financial risks early, with the data to back it up.
AI-First Execution Use AI as your primary tool for building models, running analysis, and producing reporting — not as a supplement. Set the AI-first standard for the team: establish the tools, workflows, and prompting practices the function runs on. Leverage AI to compress turnaround times on deliverables without sacrificing quality or accuracy. Stay current on AI tooling relevant to finance — identify and adopt what makes the team faster and sharper.
Player-Coach Leadership Own the team's priorities — decide what gets done, in what order, and what gets deferred; protect bandwidth for the highest-value work. Review, edit, and elevate outputs before they go out — polished, precise, and exec-ready, every time. Step in as a direct contributor when the work requires it; this is not a purely managerial seat. Develop the team's analytical thinking — move analysts from producing outputs to explaining what the numbers mean. Mentor junior team members on financial reasoning, communication, and professional judgment. Own the FP&A calendar; every deliverable ships on time at a standard you'd put your name on.
What We're Looking For

- Expert-level financial modeling: integrated three-statement models, scenario analysis, capex planning
