## Job description

Chief Operating Officer — Alternative Asset Management (Latin America)

## Role Overview

We are looking for a Chief Operating Officer to join an independent alternative asset manager operating across Latin America, managing over US $250M across real estate, debt, and a third well-defined vertical. In this role, you will be the operational and risk counterweight to the founders' opportunistic dealmaking — building the governance, compliance, and technology-enabled operating engine that lets the firm keep placing bold bets safely, while sitting at the management table as a true strategic partner.

## What You'll Do

- Risk Management & Controls: Own and continuously refine the firm's proprietary risk system, building checks and balances against founder-led, opportunistic decision-making.
- Operations Engineering: Design and run a technology-enabled, compliance-forward operating engine; treat operational excellence as a competitive advantage, not a cost center.
- Governance: Support governance across the shareholder pool, internal processes, and the firm's investment vehicles, meeting the standards expected by institutional investors.
- Finance & Treasury Oversight: Own capital calls, distributions, fund-level reporting, liquidity, and banking relationships.
- Regulatory & Compliance: Ensure operations meet Colombian financial regulatory standards and the expectations of cross-border institutional investors.
- Technology Partnership: Work closely with the Tech Leader to champion AI-driven automation of investment and management processes.
- Investor Operations: Be a credible, steady operational counterpart for institutional LPs, including pension funds and insurance companies, during due diligence and ongoing reporting.
- Team & Culture Stewardship: Help scale a small, high-trust, low-turnover team without importing big-bank bureaucracy.

Must Have

- 10+ years in operations, finance, or risk leadership within alternative asset management, private equity, real estate funds, or a regulated financial institution.
- Direct experience with institutional LP due diligence, pension funds, insurance companies, or similar allocators.
- Fund operations literacy: capital calls, waterfall structures, fund administration, cross-border vehicle structuring.
- Track record building risk, compliance, or governance functions from the ground up — not only operating within a pre-built one.
- Comfort working cross-border across Colombia, the US, Spain, and Central America.
- Genuine interest in technology and AI-enabled operations.

Why Join Us?

- Opportunity to build the operational backbone of an up-and-coming, independent alternative asset manager in Latin America, managing over US $250M in assets.
- A seat at the table — every employee has a real voice, and every success is shared.
- Compensation based on results, not tenure — reward for risk management, hustle, resilience, and creative problem-solving.
- Work alongside institutional investors, including pension funds and insurance companies.
- A technology-enabled culture — AI agents support many of the firm's investment and management processes, and the COO helps shape how that keeps evolving.
- A small, low-turnover team (under 10% annual turnover) that is relaxed and informal, yet profoundly meticulous.

Our Operating Principles Value Beyond The Ordinary — We didn't get here by copying what already existed. We build differently, focusing on a few big bets rather than volume or trends. Comfort Is a Warning Sign — We're relaxed and informal, but profoundly meticulous. If it feels too comfortable, we're not pushing hard enough. We Are a Pack — We hire for judgment and ambition, and compensate based on results, not tenure. Every employee has a real seat at the table. Serious Work, Not Serious Selves — We take the work seriously, but not ourselves. First Investors, Then Us— We invest side by side with our investors and grow our wealth along them.

## About Breakmark

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Breakmark is a People Architecture firm that partners with fast-growing startups to design scalable HR strategy, global hiring infrastructure, and talent acquisition processes.
- **Entity Type**: Private (bootstrapped, no funding rounds disclosed)
- **Headquarters**: New York, United States (with team presence in Argentina, Spain, and Ecuador)
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Angie Udry (Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Human Resources Services, HR Technology & Advisory
- **Target customers**: B2B; early-stage to mid-growth startups and scaleups (primarily in technology, fintech, AI, SaaS, and marketplace sectors)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: To help companies build the people systems they need to scale — from first hire to global expansion.

## Products & Services
- **Fractional CHRO / HR Strategy & Advisory**: Senior-level HR thinking (organizational design, compensation frameworks, culture definition, performance management) delivered on a fractional basis.
- **Employer of Record (EOR)**: Allows startups to hire employees internationally without setting up a legal entity; handles payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance.
- **Contractor of Record (COR)**: Compliant engagement of independent contractors across any jurisdiction, including contracts, payments, and risk mitigation.
- **Talent Acquisition (RPO & Executive Search)**: Full-cycle recruitment, sourcing strategy, executive headhunting, interview frameworks, and offer management for technical and leadership roles.
- **HR Compliance & Policy**: Labor law audits, policy design, and ongoing regulatory protection across jurisdictions.
- **People Operations**: Day-to-day HR support – onboarding, performance management, employee experience.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private, no reported funding)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding — none public; estimated employee headcount of 4 (per LinkedIn)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not disclosed; clients are high-growth startups across LatAm, Europe, US, APAC, and MENA
- **Growth Signals**: LinkedIn following of 6,276 (as of mid-2026); monthly employee growth of +25%; active job postings for roles such as Talent Acquisition Consultant, CEO Office Associate, Engineering Manager, and Financial Controller

## Competitive Advantages
- **Startup-Native**: Built specifically for companies that are still figuring things out and moving fast, unlike traditional HR firms serving large enterprises.
- **Senior-Level Expertise**: Clients work directly with experienced HR professionals (no junior consultants) who have built people programs at high-growth companies.
- **Global Reach with Compliance**: EOR and COR services eliminate legal and administrative barriers to hiring globally, with fast setup (days, not weeks) and full misclassification risk protection.
- **People-First Philosophy**: Recommendations grounded in what is genuinely best for the team, not cookie-cutter solutions.
- **Agile & Scalable**: Adapts as fast as the startup pivots or scales headcount, offering flexible engagement models from fractional CHRO to full RPO.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Expanding global EOR/COR capabilities; deepening talent acquisition offerings for technical and leadership roles; building a remote-first team across the Americas and Europe to serve a diverse international clientele.
- **Direction for growth**: Scaling the People Architecture model to become the go-to HR partner for startups moving from first hire to hundreds of employees, with a particular focus on cross-border expansion.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: Collaborative, entrepreneurial, and high-performance culture; opportunity to work directly with founders and executive teams of fast-growing startups.
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: Fully remote work environment (as stated in job postings for Talent Acquisition Consultant).
- **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Exposure to some of the fastest-growing startups globally; international and diverse client portfolio; significant professional growth and development opportunities; a chance to shape the people foundations of emerging tech companies.
