We’re looking for a Senior HR Business Partner to be a strategic partner to leaders across different areas of the business, with a strong focus on talent development and retention.

This is a role that combines execution and strategy. You’ll work side by side with leaders — supporting, diagnosing, and building together — while also ensuring HR operations run smoothly and in compliance. Responsibility for people development and management is shared with leadership; your role is to be the partner that makes it possible.

Responsibilities

Partner with leaders on talent development and retention initiatives — including potential mapping, individual development plans, succession planning, and career conversations
Identify early signs of key talent risk and act proactively, before it becomes a problem
Contribute to building career and development frameworks in areas where none currently exist, in close partnership with leadership
Support the design and execution of learning and development initiatives, partnering with leaders to identify capability gaps and build programs that drive growth
Collaborate with department leaders to align people strategies with business goals, providing insight and guidance on organizational matters
Lead and evolve performance management processes, ensuring a culture of continuous feedback, growth, and accountability
Coach and empower managers to build strong, motivated, and resilient teams that deliver sustainable results
Support change management, team structure optimization, and capability building to drive business growth and efficiency
Provide expert advice and support on employee relations, ensuring fairness, compliance, and constructive resolution of workplace matters
Promote engagement and well-being by partnering on initiatives that strengthen KTO’s collaborative, inclusive, and high-performance culture
Ensure excellence and consistency in HR operations and compliance with Brazilian labor laws
Partner closely with Talent Acquisition, L&D, Compensation, and People Operations to deliver unified and strategic HR initiatives

Requirements

Solid experience as an HRBP, with a background in fast-paced environments and significant organizational change
Hands-on experience with talent development and retention practices: potential mapping, career conversations, calibrations, IDPs, and succession planning
Proven experience driving performance, engagement, and cultural initiatives
Strong relationship-building, communication, and influencing skills — including the ability to influence without formal authority
Analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into actionable insights
Ability to move between strategic and operational work without losing sight of either
Advanced English proficiency required for day-to-day communication with international teams
Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Psychology, Business Administration, or related field

Nice to Have

Experience in digital, tech, or iGaming environments
Background in international or distributed operations
Experience in build-from-scratch contexts, where HR policies and processes were being created
Deep understanding of Brazilian labor law and HR operational practices
