Interim HR Manager - São Paulo, Brazil

We are seeking an Interim HR Manager for an initial three-month contract with a well-resourced, reputable, mission-driven international organisation whose life-saving products make a global impact.

In this role, you will support a diverse mix of white- and blue-collar workforces, many of whom have not previously experienced strong HR support. You’ll therefore need to be an educator, an advocate for best-practice HR, and a trusted partner to stakeholders who may have demanding expectations.

You will work closely with an inspiring Senior HR Director and influential local business leaders who are looking for a strong sparring partner, coach, and “go-to” expert with an appetite for proactive HR interventions.

We are seeking a well-rounded HR professional with robust generalist capabilities and a genuine flair for strategic business partnering.

There is no shortage of variety in the day-to-day workload with priorities including:

  • Building effective workforce relationships grounded in partnership, trust, and proactive engagement

  • Ownership of LATAM employment law matters and union negotiations

  • Aligning local HR processes with global HR strategy

  • Contributing to a long-term Talent agenda - supporting organisational growth by hiring and developing future talent and strengthening career pathways

  • Addressing and resolving employee concerns and conflicts through fair investigations and constructive support to maintain a positive, collaborative workplace

  • Managing accurate, confidential HR records and HRIS data to streamline processes and improve reporting and decision-making

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

  • Proven experience navigating complex, matrixed environments

  • Strong analytical capability with a data-driven approach to influencing and decision-making

  • Presence, confidence, and the courage to assert your viewpoint - balanced with emotional intelligence and relationship-building skills

  • Fluency in Spanish, Portuguese, and English

  • A solution-focused mindset, professionalism, energy, and the ability to inspire others

  • Solid understanding of LATAM employment legislation

The package includes a pro-rated annual base salary from BRL 260,000, with potential for increase depending on experience.

This role is based in São Paulo with a hybrid working arrangement (three days per week on-site).

We do have a broader “wish list” of criteria and would be happy to discuss these with interested professionals.

Interviews are being scheduled, with the intention of appointing the interim professional as soon as possible.
