• A track record of building and running a multi-country compliance framework (obligation registers, compliance calendars, assurance reporting).
• Strong knowledge of Brazilian labour, fiscal, regulatory and data protection law.
• Solid financial management experience: budgeting, cashflow, statutory reporting.
• Experience coordinating statutory reporting and external audit across multiple entities.
• Sound understanding of data protection regimes (LGPD, UK GDPR and equivalents), including cross-border data transfers.
• A degree in Business Administration, Finance, Accounting, Economics, Law, or equivalent experience.
