Lab49 is an award-winning specialist consultancy that creates bespoke technology in partnership with the most important companies in finance.

We were founded in 2002 to bring Silicon Valley solutions to Wall Street’s door. Since then, we have worked on successive waves of technological change, including distributed computing, high-speed automation, enterprise UX and digital distribution (for which Lab49 was among the first significant practices established on Wall Street), DevOps, cloud and data science.

Today, we are an established partner in financial markets, having delivered hundreds of projects for clients including all the world’s tier-one investment banks and many of the largest buy-side firms globally.

Being part of Lab49 means bringing your drive and creativity into an environment where your contributions will make immediate impact. Engineers will work in cross functional teams, consulting directly with our clients, shaping not only technical solutions to business problems but delivering them into production.

This role is critical to ensuring the successful growth of delivery capabilities and the consistent satisfaction of our clients. The ideal candidate will possess deep knowledge of the local talent market and cultural landscape, strong IT delivery and account management experience, a solid grasp of operational processes, and exceptional communication and leadership skills.
  • In addition to building out the country presence, this role includes leading complex, high-impact projects that drive transformative change for our top-tier financial services clients. The Mexico Site Lead will work closely with Lab49’s global delivery team and senior leadership.

  • Build and manage a network of regional partners for talent sourcing, procurement of goods and services, HR, and related functions.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for all matters related to the country.
  • Partner with Global Practice Heads (Engineering, Product Strategy & Design, Delivery Management) to attract, develop, and retain top local talent.
  • Take full responsibility for the performance and operations of the Mexico site team.
  • Help coordinate geographically distributed teams and projects across the entire software delivery lifecycle.
  • Occasionally lead day-to-day delivery activities for select client engagements.
  • Contribute to pre-sales efforts, including pitch development, client presentations, and strategy sessions.
  • Establish clear and transparent reporting for senior management.
  • Represent Lab49 at relevant industry events in the country.
  • Background in software development, preferably in engineering; experience in product strategy, design, or delivery management also considered. 
  • Deep understanding of the local technology talent market and regional nuances.
  • Proven experience building software development businesses, delivery centers or captives from the ground up.
  • Familiarity with working alongside local partners across HR, procurement, and staffing.
  • Excellent written and verbal Spanish and English communication skills (C1+).
  • Ability to implement global standards while adapting to local requirements in a remote-first environment.
  • Demonstrated success managing medium to large-scale engineering teams and overseeing IT project, program, or delivery management.
  • Solid understanding of Agile methodologies and experience applying them effectively.
  • Comfortable navigating a fast-paced, dynamic environment with shifting priorities.
  • Strong analytical skills and a detail-oriented mindset.
  • Pragmatic, solution-driven, and hands-on approach to problem-solving.
  • Strong hands-on skills in UX, Product or Engineering, allowing for meaningful contribution to projects
