About Kontempo:

Kontempo is building the next generation of payments and credit infrastructure for Mexico’s industrial economy. While most suppliers of plastics, chemicals, construction materials, and packaging have digitized logistics and accounting, their credit and collections processes remain manual and outdated. We’re changing that with powerful software designed to bring automation, analytics, and risk intelligence to a $300 billion trade credit market.
We’re already powering thousands of companies and are backed by top global VCs with over $30M raised. Now we’re growing our team to scale faster and smarter.

About the role:

We’re looking for a VP of Finance to lead all aspects of our finance function—from day-to-day management to long-term capital strategy. This role goes far beyond reporting numbers: you’ll be a strategic partner to the CEO and leadership team, guiding decision-making through data, managing investor and lender relationships, and helping build the financial infrastructure to support scalable, capital-efficient growth.
You’ll own five key areas: Capital Markets & Investor Relations, FP&A, Treasury, Accounting, and Strategic Finance. You’ll also play a central role in connecting finance with product, risk, and operations—ensuring that our financial systems and decisions improve internal efficiency and customer outcomes.

At Kontempo you’ll get to:

Lead capital strategy and investor relations: prepare for future equity rounds, manage lender relationships, and oversee structured credit facilities.
Build and manage long-term financial models and forecasts that drive board-level decisions.
Oversee accounting, audits, tax, and financial compliance across jurisdictions.
Manage treasury and liquidity planning to ensure healthy unit economics and sustainable growth.
Collaborate with Product and Ops to ensure financial considerations are embedded in how we scale—especially around cost-to-serve, automation, and internal tooling.
Translate financial data into clear insights and actions for internal and external stakeholders.
Recruit, manage, and mentor a high-performing finance team across disciplines.
Help shape company strategy alongside the CEO and executive team.

What we’re looking for:

8–12+ years of experience in finance leadership roles in fintech, lending, or financial services.
Deep experience in capital markets, credit structuring, and fundraising (equity and debt).
Strong financial operator—equally comfortable in strategic discussions and day-to-day execution.
Proven ability to build scalable finance teams, systems, and processes in a fast-paced environment.
Experience working cross-functionally with product, risk, operations, and legal.
Clear communicator with the ability to simplify complexity and build trust with stakeholders.
Fluency in Spanish and English.
Bachelor’s degree in finance, business, engineering, or a related field; MBA or CFA preferred.

Benefits we offer:

Competitive salary
Equity participation
Health insurance
Flexible paid vacation
Leadership role at a fast-growing fintech startup backed by top-tier investors
