• Strong analytical skills and proficiency with Excel/Sheets and presentation tools;

• Problem-solving attitude and ability to work in a dynamic environment;

• Agile Nomads Experience: opportunity to work for 2 weeks abroad;

• Referral bonus, if you bring people as talented as you;

• The opportunity to attend one conference per year;

• A company rated 4.8 out of 5 for employee satisfaction on Glassdoor and certified as a Great Place to Work

• Inclusive environment where you can be who you really are;

• Stimulating environment oriented to growth, both professional and personal.

How we work:

• We don't like hierarchies: we work as a team;

• We don't like bureaucracies, we prefer sense of responsibility;

• We like data, certainly, so anything that is measurable;

• We want to make a positive change in our industry;

• Empathy, humility, collaboration, and willingness to challenge ourselves are the basis of our work.
