Strategic Finance Manager

About Us

At Félix, we're building the financial ecosystem for Latin immigrants in the U.S., starting with a revolution in remittances. Our core product is an AI-powered chatbot built on WhatsApp, allowing our users to send money home as easily as sending a text message. We leverage cutting-edge technology like AI, blockchain, and stablecoins to make cross-border payments faster, more affordable, and more accessible than ever before.

We are a hyper-growth Series B company, backed by over $100 million in funding from top-tier global investors, including QED, Castle Island, Switch Ventures, HTwenty, Monashees, and General Catalyst Customer Value Fund. This isn't just about the numbers; it's a testament to the trust our investors have in our vision and our team. Additionally, Félix was selected as an “Endeavour Entrepreneur” and was a recipient of the CrossTech Fintech Startups Award. We are a group of extremely talented and dedicated high-performers, united by our shared obsession with a single goal: empowering our customers. We are all owners of Félix, driven by a bias for action and a true experimentation spirit to get shit done with urgency and focus.

Joining Félix means you will be part of a team building a legacy, a company that will outlive us all. This is a rare opportunity to apply your skills to a deeply meaningful mission—serving a community that has been underserved for too long. We are a team that is fiercely loyal to each other, where radical transparency and constructive feedback are how we grow and push for excellence. We are bold, we care less about what others are doing, and more about creating sustainable value and a product that truly makes our users' lives better. We are building the future, today.

About the Role

Félix is seeking a Strategic Finance Manager to perform financial analysis and strategic modeling that continues to guide our growth in the remittances business and expand into lending. In this role, you will partner with our Product and Business Development teams to evaluate ROI of new opportunities, model unit economics and drive continuous improvement of KPIs.

As Felix scales, you will hire and develop a Strategic Finance Analyst, becoming the lead of a strategically critical function.

If you are a sharp financial thinker who thrives at the intersection of rigorous analysis and business strategy, and who wants to be a key voice in a company going through a major product expansion, this role is for you.

  • Team Building & Leadership
  • Hire and onboard a Strategic Finance Analyst in the short term
  • Set high standards for modeling rigor, analytical clarity, and business judgment
  • Act as a thought partner to the Head of Finance, bringing your own hypotheses and initiatives, not just executing on direction
