## Job description

## About ARQ

ARQ is one of the fastest-growing fintechs in the world. Since 2021, ARQ has been on a mission to redefine how Latin Americans manage their global finances. Our powerhouse of products – spending, exchanging, saving, investing, and more - are used already by 2M+ customers in the Americas, and this is your opportunity to be a crucial part of that transformation. Join a team of top talent from the world’s leading fintech and tech companies, and help build a cross-border financial system that’s modern, accessible, and built to scale.

## The Role

We are looking for a Head of Growth for Mexico to lead our growth and operations in the country. This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for representing ARQ locally, driving growth, and owning the country’s full P&L. You will act as the bridge between our global teams and the Mexican market bringing local insights to inform strategy and product roadmap, while executing campaigns that resonate with the local audience.

## What you'll be doing

- Act as ARQ’s primary representative in Mexico and build and strengthen ARQ’s presence and brand in the market, including ARQ's PR and earned media presence in Mexico
- Own local P&L, driving user and revenue growth, margin optimization, and improved unit economics
- Build and maintain relationships with local partners, brand ambassadors, influencers, and affiliates
- Drive Above-The-Line (ATL) efforts, including TV, OTT, OOH, radio, and other mass media to maximize brand reach and efficiency
- Act as the voice of the local market, collaborate with global performance marketing and creative teams to ensure brand consistency and localisation across every channel
- Build scalable processes to support long-term growth, and hire, develop, and lead the local team over time

## What you’ll need to succeed

- 7+ years of professional experience, including a senior operational role at a high-growth VC-backed tech company with P&L ownership; prior experience at a top-tier management consulting firm (e.g., BCG, Bain, McKinsey) or a bulge bracket investment bank is strongly preferred
- Deep understanding of the Mexican market and consumer behavior is a must
- Structured problem-solving: you break down ambiguous challenges into clear frameworks, move fast, and communicate findings with precision
- Ability to coordinate external partners: media, celebrities, influencers, or affiliates, and manage multiple relationships simultaneously
- A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, takes full ownership, and can lead projects end to end without hand-holding
- Track record of building and leading high-performing teams
- Proficiency in English and Spanish

## Benefits

- Competitive salary and benefits
- Stock options, so you own part of what you build
- Discretionary performance bonus
- The latest tools and technology
- A world-class team that will challenge and grow your skills
- The opportunity to help build the best fintech app in Latin America
- Office Policy: 3-4 days a week in-office

- **Notable Investors**: Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, Brevan Howard Digital, Y Combinator, Kaszek Ventures

- **Deepen wealth management** – add more asset classes and long‑term savings tools
- **Maintain a lean, high‑impact team** – “small teams with the best talent outcompete massive companies”

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: “Long‑term ambition and absolute conviction”; “nimble, but ambitious” – the careers page describes a mission‑driven, execution‑focused environment
- **Team & autonomy**: Small teams own meaningful product areas; high ownership and rapid iteration
- **Remote/office**: Not explicitly stated, but likely hybrid or remote‑friendly given the global nature of the business
- **Notable**: Founders and early employees have built profitable products at iconic companies; strong emphasis on “world‑class in everything we do”
