We're now entering our next growth cycle — accelerating internationalization beyond Latin America and expanding into new verticals beyond financial services.
Here's the question this role exists to answer: as Nubank moves from a Latin American digital bank into a globally distributed company operating across dozens of jurisdictions and new verticals - competing simultaneously for regulated banking talent and frontier tech talent - how do we build a Rewards architecture that scales without fragmenting, stays competitive, efficient & effective, and reinforces a single culture across radically different labor markets?
The frameworks that took us from zero to over 135M customers across three countries are not the frameworks that will take us to 40+ markets. You will be the person who decides what scales, what gets rebuilt, and what gets retired.
Why this matters: Compensation, benefits, equity, and executive pay are the contracts we write with every person we hire - and at our scale, those contracts are also the operating system that determines where we can grow, how fast, and at what cost. This isn't a function that administers programs handed down by the business. It's the function that decides what's possible.
You will lead global compensation, benefits, wellness, and executive compensation end-to-end, sit on the Executive Committee, and partner directly with our CEO and CHRO on the most consequential people decisions we make: site location strategy, M&A diligence, market entry, AI transformation, and the deals that secure the leaders defining Nubank's next chapter.
Rewards is the non-negotiable core of this role. Depending on your background, scope may also extend into other disciplines.
This is not a maintenance role. It's the chance to design Total Rewards for one of the most ambitious companies operating today, at the exact moment the design choices matter most.
