A focused course, tailored for you
LatAm Fintech IC's Strategic-Authority Playbook
How an individual contributor at a LatAm fintech reframes the seat as strategic-authority through hypergrowth-stage operating-model evolution.
When LatAm fintechs tighten operating models around unit economics, ICs without published strategic-authority narratives read as coverage cost.

Why this course
LatAm fintechs running hypergrowth-stage operating-model evolution reach IC functions in the same cycle. Senior ICs above are protected by their portfolio ownership; junior ICs below are protected by their direct delivery. The IC layer is the band the deck reviews most carefully.
The ICs who survive own a documented strategic-authority narrative with measurable product-and-business outcomes, a stakeholder map across product and business-line leadership, and a quarterly state artefact the senior leader reads first.
The course covers the three artefacts and the 90-day path to strategic-authority framing. Plus a hand-built implementation playbook against your real IC scope.
The 12 modules
Module 1. Reading hypergrowth-stage operating-model evolution for IC implications
LatAm fintech operating-model evolution reaches IC functions in three predictable phases: enterprise unit-economics review, business-line review, and IC-portfolio review. The diagnostic decodes which signals (CAC-payback drift, contribution-margin compression, product-velocity benchmarks, FTE-to-revenue ratios) indicate that the IC layer is in the redraw set. Which ICs survive on coverage and which survive on strategic-authority partnership.
Module 2. Generic IC vs strategic-authority partner
Two structurally different framings of the same LatAm fintech IC seat read very differently to the deck. Generic IC shows up as coverage cost with a deliverable-cadence ratio. Strategic-authority reads as the leadership the business depends on through scaling: documented product-and-business outcomes, stakeholder map across product and business-line, and quarterly state artefact the senior leader forwards.
Module 3. Your documented strategic-authority narrative
Construct the strategic-authority narrative as a senior-leader-grade two-page document anchored to measurable product-and-business outcomes: product-velocity improvements (cycle-time, deployment-frequency, change-failure rate), unit-economics outcomes (CAC-payback, contribution-margin), customer-experience outcomes (NPS, support-resolution-time), and operational risk reduction. Three structural templates (product-velocity-anchored, unit-economics-anchored, customer-experience-anchored). Three worked examples drawn from real comparable role transitions inside firms of similar scale, plus the conversation-script for the next sponsor meeting that lands the module artefact.
Module 4. Stakeholder map across product and business-line leadership
Map your stakeholders across product (product managers, product directors), engineering (engineering leads, platform engineering), business-line leaders (region general managers, banking-product business leads, credit business leads), and adjacent functions (data, customer experience, compliance). Format: stakeholder name, sponsorship-level, last meaningful interaction, current dependency status. The map the senior leader cites by IC name.
Module 5. Quarterly state artefact for the senior leader
The quarterly artefact is a two-page state document covering IC momentum, product-velocity trends, unit-economics contribution, stakeholder partnership status, regulatory-overlay positioning, and emerging risks. Cadence is end-of-quarter delivery to senior leader with copies to head of product and business-line leads. Three worked examples from real LatAm fintech IC portfolios at different scaling stages.
Module 6. Working with engineering and customer success
IC work overlaps engineering (instrumentation, experimentation infrastructure), customer success (support escalation, customer-journey optimisation, churn root-cause analysis), and data (data-pipeline, data-quality). The collaboration pattern that strengthens defensibility: shared IC rituals, joint incident-post-mortems, cross-function IC reviews credited by IC name. Examples that elevated an IC to senior IC.
Module 7. Unit-economics storytelling for finance
Unit economics is what finance reads first in LatAm fintech operating-model reviews. Format the unit-economics story as a four-quarter trend with CAC by acquisition channel, payback period by product, contribution-margin by customer segment, and forward optimisation pipeline. Three storytelling templates for different unit-economics profiles (high-CAC growth-anchored, contribution-margin-defence-anchored, customer-lifetime-value-anchored) and the talking points each gives the senior leader.
Module 8. Cross-product leverage
Reusable IC practices that scale across product lines: KPI-definition templates, experimentation-governance protocols, customer-journey instrumentation models, unit-economics review cadences. The leverage pattern that signals strategic-authority leadership rather than product coverage. How to convert delivered IC work into published practice the senior leader cites in operating-model defence.
Module 9. Regulatory considerations for LatAm fintech
LatAm fintech is regulated under Bacen (Brazil central bank) for payments, banking-as-a-service, and open banking, CVM for securities products, CNBV in Mexico for fintech licensing, LGPD for data protection, and emerging frameworks. The compliance overlays that strengthen the IC narrative as regulator-aware fintech partnership.
Module 10. Scope statement: IC vs Senior IC / Team Lead
Two overlapping seats with different scopes. IC scope covers portfolio delivery, stakeholder partnership, IP authorship at portfolio level. Senior IC scope adds multi-product strategic-authority leadership, business-case ownership, cross-portfolio leverage. Team Lead scope adds team ownership and team-cabinet participation. The scope statement that puts you in the Senior IC and Team Lead track defensibly.
Module 11. Promotion mechanics inside LatAm fintech ICs
Internal path from IC to Senior IC to Team Lead. The promotion artefact (strategic-authority narrative, stakeholder partnership record, unit-economics contribution, regulatory positioning) and the cycle calendar (mid-year review, year-end performance review, promo committee, announcement). What gets an IC shortlisted, what blocks an IC who is otherwise qualified, and how to time your move.
Module 12. Your 90-day move to strategic-authority framing
Day-by-day plan with daily artefacts. Days 1-7: strategic-authority narrative scaffold drafted from your product-line inventory and KPI baseline. Days 8-21: stakeholder map v1 completed with sponsorship-level confirmations. Days 22-45: quarterly artefact v1 delivered to senior leader. Days 46-60: multi-product strategic-authority conversation. Days 61-90: Senior IC or Team Lead conversation scheduled with team-cabinet sponsor identified in module 11.

FAQ
Will the senior leader actually read my strategic-authority narrative?
Module 3 is built around the format senior leaders read.
What if my scope spans multiple products?
Module 3 covers that case.
Why pay for this instead of reading free content?
Free content covers technique.
Is Senior IC actually open?
Module 11 covers that diagnostic.
What is in the implementation playbook for me specifically?
A draft strategic-authority narrative; a draft stakeholder map; a 90-day plan with conversations against your senior leader.
