About the Team & the Platform

We are part of a leading global tech and mobility group connecting millions of users and partner drivers across international markets through proprietary digital platforms.

The Auto Ecosystem Platform is a core strategic division dedicated to architecting and expanding large-scale vehicle and fleet ecosystems. Within this global footprint, Brazil represents our primary growth engine and strategic focal point, serving as the launchpad for high-impact mobility models.

Our core mission in Brazil is to transform urban transportation by accelerating the widespread adoption of technologically advanced, energy-efficient, and sustainable vehicles among partner drivers. We achieve this by structuring and managing strategic partnerships across the entire domestic automotive value chain—including OEMs, rental companies, charging infrastructure providers, and financial institutions.

The Role

We are seeking a Business Development Manager (Brazil) to spearhead commercial growth, partner acquisition, and deal structuring across the domestic automotive ecosystem. In this role, you will identify high-potential commercial opportunities, originate and negotiate high-impact alliances with key industry players, and unlock innovative commercial models that drive fleet adoption and deliver tangible economic value to partner drivers.

• 
  

  Proven track record in business development, strategic partnerships, corporate sales, or B2B deal structuring within mobility, car rental, automotive, energy, or fast-scaling tech sectors.

  
  


• 
  

  Deep commercial network and understanding of the Brazilian automotive value chain (OEM commercial channels, fleet leasing/rental economics, automotive credit, or EV charging infrastructure).

  
  


• 
  

  Exceptional deal-making and negotiation skills, with the ability to structure complex, multi-stakeholder commercial contracts from scratch.

  
  


• 
  

  Strong business acumen and financial literacy, with hands-on capability to build business cases, assess unit economics, and forecast deal ROI.
