Senior Manager, FP&A – Mexico COE

Delinea is investing in building a Mexico-based FP&A Center of Excellence, and we’re looking for a Senior Manager to lead it. As the founding leader of this function, you will build and run Delinea’s company-wide headcount and expense reporting operations — establishing a scalable, automation-first FP&A hub that delivers high-quality financial intelligence to business leaders across Product, G&A, and GTM.

Reporting to the Senior Director, Finance, you will own end-to-end headcount planning, company-wide expense budget vs. actual analysis, and the data governance and process infrastructure that underpins Delinea’s financial reporting. Over time, you will recruit and develop a small team of Mexico-based analysts, setting the standard for rigor, quality, and continuous improvement in everything the CoE produces.

This is a high-ownership, highly visible role for someone who brings deep FP&A expertise, a builder’s mindset, and genuine enthusiasm for leveraging AI and automation to drive scale. If you’re energized by the opportunity to build something from the ground up — and to leave your fingerprints on how a finance organization operates at IPO scale — this role is for you.

This role will work hybrid (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) in our Mexico City - Reforma location.

Headcount Planning & Reporting

• →

  Own the end-to-end headcount planning process: annual budget, quarterly re-forecasts, and monthly actuals — covering all cost centers across the company.

• →

  Consolidate and publish monthly, quarterly, and annual headcount reports integrating data across HR and financial planning systems, maintaining a single, auditable source of truth.

• →

  Partner with HR and business leaders to align workforce plans with strategic and financial constraints, tracking hiring against budget and flagging risks proactively.

• →

  Monitor headcount cost-to-revenue ratios and model the P&L impact of hiring decisions, scenario changes, and timing shifts.

• →

  Deliver timely, high-quality HC insights to operational leaders across Product, G&A, and GTM so they can make informed workforce decisions.

Expense Budget vs. Actual Analysis

• →

  Own company-wide spend planning and reporting across all cost centers, producing accurate and timely budget vs. actual analyses each period.

• →

  Partner with each FP&A pillar (Product, G&A, GTM) to deliver expense deliverables and variance commentary that enable faster business decisions.

• →

  Identify and clearly communicate spending variances, trends, and root causes to FP&A leadership and operational partners.

  Maintain and improve the expense reporting infrastructure, driving model accuracy, automation, and faster close cycles.

Data Integrity, Controls & Process Excellence

• →

  Ensure data integrity and governance across HR and financial planning system integrations for all HC and spend data, owning data quality end-to-end.

• →

  Build and maintain audit-ready workflows for every CoE process, with clear controls documentation aligned to IPO-readiness standards.

• →

  Develop SOPs and playbooks for every HC and spend process so that operations are standardized, transferable, and resilient to team changes.

• →

  Identify and lead opportunities to automate repetitive workflows — leveraging AI tools, planning system automation, and scripting to reduce manual effort and increase throughput across the CoE.

• →

  Actively apply AI tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT) as a practitioner — using them to accelerate analysis, improve output quality, draft variance commentary, and streamline reporting processes.

• →

  Champion a culture of continuous process improvement: always asking how the CoE can deliver the same or better output with less manual effort.

Team Leadership & CoE Development

• →

  Recruit, onboard, and develop a small team of Mexico-based FP&A analysts with structured 30/60/90-day plans focused on HC and spend operations.

• →

  Create clear career paths and growth tracks for CoE team members, establishing a culture of rigor, ownership, and accountability.

• →

  Build bench depth through cross-training and documented backups for every HC and spend process, ensuring resilience and no single point of failure.
