About the Company
Our client is a global investment and operating group focused on acquiring and growing technology-driven businesses. With a long-term ownership approach, the organization partners with companies to support sustainable growth, operational excellence, and value creation over time.
The group operates through a decentralized model, bringing together a diverse set of businesses across multiple geographies and industries. Each company retains a high degree of autonomy, while benefiting from shared expertise, strategic guidance, and disciplined capital allocation.
In Brazil, the organization is experiencing a strong growth phase, driven by ongoing acquisitions. This expansion brings both opportunity and complexity, particularly in strengthening leadership capabilities and ensuring consistent performance across independently operated businesses.
Purpose of the Position
As the organization continues to expand through acquisitions, this role has been created to strengthen leadership capability and talent scalability across its businesses. Operating at the intersection of growth and integration, the position focuses on shaping and advancing a talent strategy that supports long-term performance, leadership continuity, and organizational resilience.
Based in Brazil, the role will initially support the local group of businesses, while being designed with a broader, multi-entity mandate and the potential to expand across Latin America over time.
This is a highly strategic position centered on designing and evolving talent architecture across multiple business units, rather than focusing on the execution of established HR programs within a single organization. Working within a decentralized and lean environment, the individual will act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, influencing key decisions related to leadership, succession, and organizational effectiveness.
Impact will be driven through influence, coaching, and the ability to leverage existing HR and business resources, rather than through a large, dedicated team. Over time, success will be reflected in stronger leadership pipelines, scalable succession frameworks, and a measurable reduction of leadership risk, particularly in post-acquisition environments.
