We are a pack of dreamers, makers, and tech enthusiasts building the future of payments. With millions of happy customers and a hunger for innovation, we're now expanding our neural network - literally and metaphorically.

As CloudWalk continues to scale its presence in the Brazilian financial ecosystem, strengthening our engagement with regulators, policymakers, and industry associations has become increasingly strategic. Our Government Affairs team already plays an active role in shaping the environment around us — now, we are expanding our presence directly in Brasília to deepen institutional relationships, enhance regulatory intelligence, and formally represent CloudWalk in the country’s key legislative and supervisory forums.

About the Role:

We are looking for a relationship-driven, highly connected, and strategically minded professional to expand CloudWalk’s institutional presence in Brasília.

Banco Central do Brasil and other regulatory bodies

Federal Legislative bodies

Industry associations

Public hearings, consultations, working groups, and sectoral committees

This is a highly visible position that requires excellent institutional presence, regulatory sensibility, and strong articulation with both internal teams and external stakeholders.

You will collaborate closely with Compliance, Legal, Risk, Product, Engineering, and Executive Leadership, ensuring CloudWalk has a proactive, informed, and influential voice in policy and regulatory discussions affecting the financial and payments ecosystem.

Provide internal guidance on regulatory and policy trends, enabling early-stage risk mitigation and strategic decision-making.

Contribute to expanding and structuring CloudWalk’s public affairs operations with scalable processes, tools, and institutional protocols.

Act as a trusted advisor and point of contact for internal teams requiring policy insights, institutional coordination and stakeholder mapping.
