About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Regulatory Diplomacy & BACEN Liaison: Act as the strategic lead for the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN). You will be the primary point of contact and respondent for the regulator, ensuring dLocal remains the gold standard for regulated fintechs in the region.
Audit & Review Leadership: Lead annual audits and ad-hoc reviews conducted by BACEN. You will coordinate efforts across cybersecurity and IT to ensure all regulatory requirements are met with precision.
SOC 2 Mastery: Take ownership of the implementation and maintenance of the SOC 2 standard. You will ensure our controls are not just compliant on paper, but effectively protecting our environment.
Pragmatic GRC (Real Security, Not Paper): Move beyond "just for compliance" to add genuine security value. You will audit and adjust our technology and processes to fit the Brazilian market, training local teams when necessary to ensure operational resilience.
Technical Translation & Execution: Interpret dense requirements from regulators, financial authorities, and third parties, translating them into plain English and actionable tasks. You will bridge the gap between technical security and business owners.
Hands-on Regional & Global Compliance Support: Provide versatile support for international regulations (e.g., SOX, DORA) and global standards (PCI DSS, ISO) alongside local Brazilian mandates.
Roll Up Your Sleeves: While exhaustive experience in every framework is not required, a "roll up your sleeves" attitude is necessary to assist the team in advancing these initiatives based on workload.
Anticipatory Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of the curve by regularly interacting with stakeholders to monitor new BACEN circulars and regulations, allowing the company to adapt before changes impact velocity.

Regulatory Foundations: Proven experience with SOC 2 implementation. Basic knowledge of international frameworks (SOX, DORA) and standards (PCI DSS, ISO) is essential.
High EQ, IQ, & Organizational Navigation: You can seamlessly navigate a complex corporate landscape and align technical, financial, and operational teams toward a common security goal.
