Our People are Bold, Authentic, Purposeful and Inspired Our People are not Perfect, Traditional, Complacent or Cautious About the Role We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Senior Associate to lead our financial operations and reporting across the Latin America (LatAm) region, with a primary focus on Uruguay and Brazil. Sitting at the heart of our Financial Operations team, you will bridge the gap between transactional data and financial integrity. You will own the day-to-day lifecycle for a portfolio of distribution partners (merchants) and underwriters. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in complex environments where a single counterparty acts as both debtor and creditor—managing premium flows, commission netting, chargebacks, and cash conversion impacts. Key Responsibilities Partner Settlement Execution: Manage daily, weekly, and monthly settlement cycles. You will prepare and validate partner invoices/statements (covering premiums, commissions, and adjustments) and reconcile them against internal subledgers (BigQuery), NetSuite, and bank activity. * Underwriter Reporting: Prepare carrier bordereaux and settlement statements. You will ensure net premium payables and claims offsets are accurate and aligned with carrier contract terms. * Cash Application & Collections: Support timely cash application for remittances within local banks and assist in the collections workflow for overdue partner balances. * Controls & SOP Management: Execute and document rigorous controls (checklists, tie-outs). You will manage relationships with local accounting firms to ensure fiscal note flows (NFs) and financial reporting are seamless. * Process Innovation: Identify recurring "break" patterns in data and propose automated fixes. You will partner with Data Ops and Product teams to test and implement system improvements. What You Will Bring * Expertise: 5–7 years of progressive experience in financial operations and reporting within LatAm (specifically Brazil and/or Uruguay). * Data Mastery: Advanced spreadsheet skills and high data literacy. You are comfortable reconciling multi-source transactional data (ERP, Bank, PSP, and Data Warehouse). * Compliance Mindset: High standards for audit trails, controls, and internal stakeholder management. * Language: Fluency in English (written and spoken) is required. Preferred Qualifications * Experience with US GAAP and local tax regulations in Brazil/Uruguay. * Background in Insurance Operations (Bordereau reporting, premium vs. commission offsets). * Experience with multi-currency settlements and principal/agent netting. Tools & Systems * ERP: NetSuite * Data: BigQuery / Data Warehouse * Close Management: FloQast * Analysis: Advanced Excel / Google Sheets WHY COVER GENIUS?
