Our technology team operates under a "remote-first" model, which means we work from home and can live anywhere in Brazil. We also offer the option of working from our São Paulo offices or partner coworking spaces, up to twice a week.

We are looking for a leader to take on the role of Manager of Information Security, GRC. Your mission will be to define the area's vision, structure our practices, and lead the transformation: shifting the perception that GRC is merely an operational and bureaucratic function to making it a dynamic, strategic enabler focused on real business risk.

This is not a position for managing spreadsheets. As the GRC leader within the Cybersecurity structure, you will work side-by-side with the CISO and others leadership to safely enable critical projects. We seek someone with technical capability, execution skills, and strategic vision, able to drive projects end-to-end and ensure that security governance makes our business faster, more scalable, and resilient.

You must have proven experience in GRC leadership that goes beyond regulatory compliance and paper-based frameworks, understanding control architectures and the technological nuances of an agile, cloud-native environment (Cloud, AI, Data). You will be primarily responsible for accountability regarding cyber risk, guiding the company through complex scenarios.

The Manager of GRC will report directly to the CISO and will be responsible for managing the investment, the internal team, and the third-party (3P) partners supporting the GRC operation.
