About R2

R2 enables platforms to offer flexible financing to their merchants in Latin America

These merchants are typically small and medium businesses (SMBs), which make up over 90% of companies in Latam yet face a trillion-dollar credit gap. At R2, we believe that SMBs are the productive engine of society.

Our mission is to unlock their potential by providing financial solutions that are tailored to their needs, right where they buy and sell. We are reimagining the financial infrastructure of Latin America - where SMBs financial needs are satisfied without ever having to go to a bank.

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.

  • Train and coach agency teams on AI-guided collection processes, tool usage, and behavior-driven campaigns.
  • Review and close monthly agency invoices and performance reports.
  • Design, launch, and monitor campaigns across traditional (SMS, voice, email) and automated channels (AI, bots, workflows).
  • Solve complex recovery scenarios using data analysis and creative, tech-enabled strategies.
  • Maintain and update CRM and collection systems, including the configuration of automation tools for campaign triggering.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in collections or recovery operations, ideally across multiple markets (Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Brazil).
  • Strong interest and/or experience working with AI-based tools, chatbots, virtual agents, or predictive models.
  • Experience with CRM and campaign tools like Zoho, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, etc.
  • Excellent vendor management skills with a track record of driving performance in outsourced teams.
  • Comfortable working under pressure and in fast-paced environments, with a solutions-focused and data-driven mindset.
  • Experience leading or coaching collection teams (even indirectly) and aligning processes across markets.
  • Written and basic verbal English proficiency (B1-B2).
  • High proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, dashboards, metrics tracking).

Nice to Have:

  • Prior experience in fintech, lending platforms, or tech-based financial services.
  • Familiarity with legal collections, NPL processes, and debt sale strategies.
  • Basic programming knowledge (e.g., Python, SQL) or familiarity with automation scripting.
