Create and manage Brazil-specific onboarding plans, timelines, required documentation, registrations, dependencies, and stakeholder expectations; communicate progress, risks, and next steps clearly.
Partner with Product, Sales, Payroll, Legal, Support, Immigration, Client Services, and external providers to resolve operational challenges and deliver timely, accurate, and compliant outcomes.
Provide accurate, customer-focused support to clients and employees in Brazil on benefits, payroll, expenses, employment documentation, and other HR matters.
Apply Brazilian employment and labor laws and HR regulations, relevant collective agreements, internal policies, and operating responsibilities; identify compliance gaps and coordinate corrective action.
Track onboarding timelines, case status, resolution-time SLAs, and service quality while building trusted relationships and maintaining a high-quality experience in increasingly complex environments.
Use advanced spreadsheets, reporting, data validation, and dashboard analysis to identify trends, reconcile issues, diagnose root causes, and improve accuracy, response times, and experience.
Build product and workflow expertise; troubleshoot HR systems integrations, APIs, data mapping, synchronization, and access issues with Product or Engineering; and contribute to automation and scalable process improvements.
