About Somos
Somos Internet is a technology company dedicated to transforming connectivity and democratizing access to advanced digital infrastructure across Latin America. The organization focuses on challenging the status quo and building a future where people, regardless of location or background, can access high-quality services. Currently, Somos Internet delivers fast, stable, and affordable connectivity solutions that enhance the telecommunications experience for individuals and businesses in Colombia.

Team members join a mission-driven environment aimed at changing how communities connect and shaping a more inclusive digital future.
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.
Key Requirements at a Glance
Language: Full fluency in Spanish and English, written and spoken
Location: Remote — based anywhere in the Americas
Travel: 15–25%, primarily to Medellín and Bogotá, Colombia, with potential expansion into other LATAM markets as the company grows
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
Required
Full bilingual proficiency in Spanish and English — written and spoken
Willingness to travel 15–25%, primarily between Medellín and Bogotá, Colombia — with potential expansion into other LATAM markets as the company grows
Demonstrated ownership of a full annual budget cycle: kickoff, build, approval, and ongoing reforecast
Track record delivering board-level reporting — as owner, not support
Expert-level financial modeling: integrated three-statement models, scenario analysis, capex planning
Sharp analytical thinker — able to frame a problem, structure the analysis, and land on a clear, defensible answer
High editorial standards — knows the difference between analysis that is correct and analysis that is ready for an executive or a board, and closes that gap
Polished communicator — written and verbal; equally effective presenting to a CFO or coaching a junior analyst
AI-native: you use AI by default to build, analyze, and report — and you can demonstrate it
Proven ability to earn trust quickly across functions and seniority levels
Preferred
MBA Preferred, with at least 3 years of post-MBA experience in FP&A, including ownership of a budgeting or forecasting process
Background in telecoms, ISP, infrastructure, or subscription-based businesses
Time in management consulting (strategy, transaction advisory, or similar) is a strong plus
Experience with ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, or similar)
