Is This Role For You?
- You've closed 7+ partnership deals that moved real growth metrics (MAU, revenue) and can prove the impact
- You're fluent in Portuguese AND English and deeply wired into Brazil's fintech/telco/marketplace ecosystem
- You think in loops not sprints—you design partnerships for retention and expansion, not just launch spikes
- You can move fast in ambiguity, build reporting frameworks on the fly, and sell internally without formal authority
- You need a fully remote setup or can't commit to on-site work in São Paulo
- Your partnership track record is mostly deal-closing without demonstrable growth impact or you can't model commercial outcomes
- You don't speak Portuguese fluently or lack hands-on knowledge of the Brazilian startup/fintech/telco landscape
