Who we are: \ \ At R2, we believe that small and medium businesses are the productive engine of society. Small and medium businesses (SMBs) make up over 90% of companies in Latin America, yet they face a trillion-dollar credit gap. Our mission is to unlock SMBs’ potential by providing financial solutions that are tailored to their needs. We are reimagining the financial infrastructure of Latin America - where SMBs financial needs are satisfied without ever having to go to a bank.
R2 enables platforms in Latin America to embed financial services that SMBs can then leverage (starting with revenue-based financing and buy now pay later for business customers). We are a tight knit team coming from organizations such as Google, Amazon, Nubank, Uber, Capital One, Mercado Libre, Globant, J.P. Morgan, and Ualá. We are backed by world-class investors such as Gradient Ventures (Google’s AI-focused fund), COMETA, General Catalyst, Hi Ventures, Y Combinator, Femsa Ventures, Prosus, Endeavor Catalyst, among others.
We’re looking for a Capital Markets Lead that will play a pivotal role in securing the funding needed to fuel R2’s growth — especially as we launch and scale our operations in Brazil.
\ What you’ll do:

• FUNDING STRATEGY & INVESTOR RELATIONS
  • Design and execute capital markets strategies to secure and diversify R2’s funding sources across operating countries, including Brazil.
  • Lead the expansion of our funding base by building strong, long-term relationships with banks, funds, financial institutions, and multilaterals.
  • Negotiate, structure, and close debt transactions in alignment with R2’s financial and strategic goals.
  • Manage end-to-end debt fundraising processes: due diligence, legal structuring, execution, and drawdowns.
• LIQUIDITY & RISK MANAGEMENT
  • Develop strategies to optimize liquidity and ensure financial flexibility while minimizing cost of capital.
  • Monitor and ensure compliance with debt covenants and reporting requirements related to active funding facilities.
  • Implement risk mitigation tools and hedging strategies to address FX and interest rate exposures.
• DEBT OPERATIONS & REPORTING
• Oversee usage and performance of existing credit lines across subsidiaries to ensure efficient operations and financial compliance.
• Produce internal and external reports for lenders, investors, and the Board on debt performance, financial metrics, and capital strategy updates.
• Drive automation and efficiency in debt management processes including payment workflows, interest tracking, and covenant compliance.
• DEBT MODELING & STRUCTURE OPTIMIZATION
  • Refine and maintain R2’s debt strategy model to ensure it supports financial planning, scenario analysis, and decision-making.
  • Identify opportunities to optimize R2’s capital structure through a mix of senior, subordinated, structured, or risk-sharing facilities.
  • Integrate best practices and tech-enabled analytics into debt modeling and capital allocation decisions.
