About the Role

Nubank’s Talent Acquisition team is the architectural backbone of our culture. As we continue to scale and innovate, the people we hire in the next 12–24 months will shape the company’s trajectory across one of our most strategic and competitive talent markets.

As a Recruiter Expert, you will own high-impact hiring across key business and functional areas. You’ll serve as a strategic recruiting partner for senior leadership, leveraging Nubank’s strong market presence while finding creative ways to attract, engage, and close top-tier passive talent in a highly competitive landscape.

You’ll be Responsible for

• Owning full-cycle recruiting for strategic, senior, and specialized roles across the organization

• Building deep passive candidate pipelines using advanced sourcing intelligence — going beyond traditional channels to find top talent where they actually engage, through niche communities, referrals, and industry networks

• Acting as a strategic talent advisor to senior leadership: shaping role profiles, defining hiring bars, and translating business goals into actionable hiring strategies

• Using data to manage pipeline health proactively — building dashboards, tracking funnel conversion, and communicating insights clearly with senior stakeholders

• Designing and iterating on scalable hiring processes that ensure an exceptional candidate experience

• Strengthening and evolving Nubank’s employer brand to stand out and attract top-tier talent in Brazil

 We're Looking For Someone Who Has

• A proven track record of full-cycle recruiting, with demonstrated depth in engaging and closing passive candidates for senior, leadership, or specialized roles

• Hands-on sourcing expertise for hard-to-fill positions, bringing creative tactics and diverse talent channels to the table

• Strong business acumen and functional fluency, with the ability to quickly understand new domains, calibrate talent independently, and adapt to different business needs

• A data-driven approach to pipeline management: someone who builds their own reporting, uses metrics to influence strategy, and knows when to escalate and when to pivot

• The ability to operate with high autonomy in ambiguous, fast-paced environments — building structure, managing multiple competing priorities, and maintaining a high quality bar

• Experience partnering with senior leadership as a true, consultative talent advisor

• Fluency in English and Portuguese
