• Manage the LATAM PR and partnerships budget, ensuring efficient investment across markets and programs.

Qualifications

• Deep understanding of the LATAM media landscape, with existing relationships across key markets (Mexico, Brazil, and others) strongly preferred.
• Experience building and managing partnerships or sponsorships that extend brand reach beyond traditional media.
• Fluent in Spanish; Portuguese proficiency a plus given the scope of coverage across the region.
• Track record managing agencies and external partners across multiple markets simultaneously.
• Strong executive presence; comfortable representing the brand directly with press and partners.
• A bias toward speed and iteration over process and perfection.
