Product Manager- Finance

The posting, as Tensec wrote it

ABOUT TENSEC

Tensec moves money across borders for the small and mid-sized businesses that trade globally FX, payments, and transaction banking built for a São Paulo exporter or a Monterrey importer, not for a Fortune 500 treasury desk. Cross-border B2B is a $50 trillion market still running on infrastructure designed for large corporates. We're building the version everyone else can use.

We're live in Mexico and Brazil, opening the US this year, and onboarding enterprise clients moving hundreds of millions a month. Founded in 2023 by a team that has built and exited startups and run global teams at PayPal, Credit Karma, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Backed by Quiet Capital, Costanoa Ventures, Renegade Partners, Coinbase Ventures, Clocktower, and WillowTree, plus angels including Jason Pate (Chief Strategy Officer, Plaid) and Bora Chung (ex-Chief Experience Officer, Bill.com http://Bill.com; Board Member, Remitly).

YOUR MISSION

We already move the money. The harder problem sits on either side of the payment: the finance work that decides what to bill, what to chase and what to reconcile. For most of the businesses we serve that work is manual, spread across systems that do not talk to each other, and visible to finance only after the fact. We are building the AI layer for it.

This role has a forward deployment component, and we mean it literally. You will sit inside our clients' finance teams, learn how the work actually happens, and design workflows that fit their process. Engineers build the connections into their systems. You decide what moves between them, which parts of the work an agent takes, and where a person stays in the loop.

We are early in this product line. The first clients are how we find out what can be generalized and productized, and you will be the person making that call. If that is the interesting part of the job to you, this is your role. If you are looking for a mature roadmap and a settled platform, it is not.

Hybrid, 3 days in office.

OUTCOMES — YOUR FIRST 12–18 MONTHS

• Get an agent into daily use inside a client’s finance team within your first two quarters. One workflow, doing work a person did by hand the week before.
• Make the data flow a design rather than a diagram. For each workflow, know where the truth lives, what each system owns, what goes stale and how fast, and where today's handoffs drop information on the floor. Engineering builds the connections; you decide what has to move, when, and why.
• Draw the line between AI and human, workflow by workflow. Where the agent acts on its own, where it proposes and a person confirms, where it must stop and escalate. Write it down, defend it to a controller, and move the line as the system earns trust.
• Standardize a process without breaking it. Five people doing the same job five ways becomes one way the product supports, plus the exceptions that genuinely deserve to stay exceptions.
• Shorten the dela

a later one.

• You would rather ship a narrow thing that works than a broad thing that demos.

NICE TO HAVE

• You were an accountant, controller, auditor or analyst earlier in your career.
• Order-to-cash, AP automation, spend management, billing or revenue systems experience.
• You have shipped a product with a significant LLM component.
• You have built for a complex, multi-party industry where documents and exceptions drive the work.
• Consulting or solutions delivery experience, particularly if you have since moved to the product side and know where the two disagree.
• Experience in Brazil or Mexico, or building for Latin American SMBs.

Even if you don't meet 100% of the qualifications, we encourage you to apply.
