Senior Manager, FP&A - Mexico COE

About the role

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.

• 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.

• Support Corporate FP&A on consolidated HC and spend views that feed the overall P&L and financial statements.
• 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 c
