Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've built or scaled venture partnerships, startup ecosystems, or FinTech growth programs—not just executed them
  • You thrive navigating ambiguity across regulatory and cultural contexts (LATAM market diversity is a feature, not a bug)
  • You blend strategic thinking with hands-on execution: you can pressure-test a go-to-market strategy and also grab coffee with founders
  • You're metrics-driven and comfortable building dashboards and funnels to prove ecosystem impact
  • You're genuinely interested in blockchain/tokenization use cases and want to own a critical geographic expansion
Won't Work If
  • You need a fully remote setup—this role is on-site in São Paulo and requires relationship-building across LATAM
  • You prefer clear-cut playbooks and predictable outcomes; LATAM regulatory volatility and startup velocity require adaptive strategy
  • You're uncomfortable with crypto/blockchain or skeptical of tokenization's real-world value—you'll struggle to evangelize internally
