Addi is a leading fintech platform in Colombia serving 3.6M+ customers and 55,000+ merchants, offering Buy Now, Pay Later, banking solutions (deposits, payments, unsecured credit), and commerce services. The company recently achieved profitability and secured regulatory approval to operate as a bank, backed by top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Goldman Sachs, and Union Square Ventures. You will serve as the single accountable owner for Addi's financial-systems controls framework across all platforms, subledgers, and data pipelines. This is a greenfield opportunity to establish a bank-aligned IT General Controls (ITGC) environment fully compliant with SFC (Colombian Financial Superintendency) standards, design robust governance for AI-driven financial workflows, and build a capital-markets-ready operational foundation supporting the company's regulatory transition and potential bank spin-off. Key responsibilities include: - Building and documenting an audit-ready control framework across key systems to enable external auditors and regulatory bodies to transition toward controls-reliance testing - Designing and enforcing a comprehensive access control framework across enterprise systems with automated review cycles and conflict mitigation - Operationalizing governance for AI-driven financial workflows with human-in-the-loop accountability, audit logs, and continuous monitoring - Enforcing mandatory control sign-offs for all new system integrations, products, and release deployments before production - Implementing automated compliance tools for continuous monitoring, anomaly detection, and evidence collection at scale - Finalizing internal control environments across operating entities to align with regulatory and risk management frameworks for future corporate transitions You will work on a problem with real impact—redefining how millions of Colombians shop, pay, and bank. This is a high-growth, high-visibility role where you'll influence strategy, technology, and culture from the ground up. REQUIREMENTS: - Deep experience in IT General Controls (ITGC), financial systems audit, and internal controls, including direct experience working within or auditing supervised financial institutions - Working knowledge of local regulatory expectations and risk management frameworks, with a track record of defending control environments to external auditors and regulatory inspectors - Proven ability to build internal control frameworks, access matrices, and change-management governance from scratch in fast-paced environments - Experience leveraging AI tools to accelerate documentation and define human-in-the-loop accountability for automated workflows - Practical experience designing role-based access controls (RBAC) and change management across multi-entity enterprise systems and financial subledgers - Native fluency in Spanish for local regulatory interactions paired with professional English proficiency for global reporting
