## Job description

## The Role

The Executive Assistant will support Avra’s two founders, internal operations, and external events and vendors, while helping manage the São Paulo office and a range of professional and personal administrative tasks. We are looking for someone highly organized, proactive and calm under pressure, with a strong sense of ownership and discretion. This is a role for someone who enjoys making things happen behind the scenes, keeping people one step ahead, and bringing structure to a fast-moving environment. You will also need to communicate confidently in English with external funds and other international stakeholders. This is for you if you are energized by variety, you notice what needs to be done before being asked, and are excited to help build the operating rhythm of an ambitious early-stage company.

## Responsibilities

- Founder support: Provide high-quality executive and personal administrative support to Avra’s two founders. This will include calendar management, travel coordination, scheduling, document handling, expense organization, follow-ups and day-to-day problem solving.
- Office management: Own the smooth running of Avra’s office in São Paulo. You will coordinate office suppliers, manage facilities-related needs, keep the space organized and welcoming, and support the team with practical on-site logistics.
- Event support: Support the planning and execution of internal and external events. You will work with venues, caterers, service providers and other third-party suppliers to ensure events run smoothly and to a high standard.
- Supplier coordination: Help manage communication and logistics with external suppliers and partners.
- Administrative operations: Build and maintain lightweight processes that keep the company organized and running smoothly, including calendar coordination, travel planning and booking for founders and team members, document and expense management, meeting logistics, vendor coordination, office support, and follow-through on day-to-day administrative needs.
- Execution with discretion: Handle sensitive information with professionalism and judgment. You will be trusted with founder-related matters and confidential company information.

What we’re looking for:

- Highly organized, dependable, and discreet: you follow through consistently, protect confidential information, and do not let important details slip.
- Proactive and hands-on: you identify what needs to happen without waiting for perfect instructions. You are comfortable executing both practical tasks and coordination work.
- Someone who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment: you can manage multiple priorities, switch contexts quickly, stay calm when plans change.
- Clear and concise communicator. You are direct, and not verbose. You build trust easily, and represent Avra well when interacting with founders, team members, external stakeholders, funds, and international partners.
- A commitment to working in person, with English fluency: you are energized at the idea of building strong relationships with the team and available for in-person work at the office and whenever events or supplier coordination require it.

## Experience and qualifications

- 4+ years of experience in an Executive Assistant, Office Manager, Operations Coordinator or similar role.
- Ideally in a startup, high-growth company or similarly demanding environment.
- Proven experience managing administrative workflows, calendars, travel, suppliers, events and office operations.

Language: Fluency in English is required. Portuguese is expected for day-to-day work in São Paulo. Location: Must be based in São Paulo.

## About Avra

## Company Overview

- **Entity Type**: Private (early-stage startup)
- **Headquarters**: São Paulo, Brazil
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Bruno Alano (CEO, co-founder) and Viviane Meister (CTO, co-founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Enterprise AI / Decision Intelligence (credit, fraud, growth, monitoring)
- **Target customers**: B2B, Enterprise (banks, fintechs, marketplaces, SMB lenders)
- **Mission**: “Model relationships over time. Improve the decision systems enterprises already run.”

## Products & Services
- **Avra Graph Foundation Model**: A pre-trained temporal knowledge graph covering Brazil’s economy – companies, individuals, events, ownership, judicial events, geography. Fine-tuned per customer workspace for credit scoring, fraud detection, and propensity modeling.
- **Avra API & SDK**: Managed endpoints (mTLS) for prediction and explanation, with tenant isolation and audit trails.
- **Avra Playground**: Browser-based environment to experiment with decision flows, replay traffic, and inspect evidence.
- **Enterprise Deployment**: Shadow deployments alongside incumbent models, with batch and real-time inference surfaces.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly available

- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not named explicitly, but investors are described as “frontier funds across two continents”. Team alumni include OpenAI, Stone, Itaú, McKinsey, Embraer, XP, HSBC, Santander.
- **Growth Signals**: Small team (~20 people) with 7 open roles; remote-first with HQ in São Paulo; pilot results showing 1.8× NII on Avra-scored cohort, +90% conversion lift, +5.4 p.p. ROC AUC on held-out test set.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Graph-native reasoning**: Models relationships over time rather than flat rows, capturing risk dimensions orthogonal to traditional features (18–22% correlation with existing features).
- **Inductive generalization**: Scores entities never seen before by reasoning through counterparties and graph position.
- **Brazil-native foundation**: Trained on local semantics (CNPJs, corporate groups, informal networks) and legal events.
- **Developer-first, enterprise-ready**: API, SDK, playground, tenant isolation, ISO 27001 in progress, LGPD compliant.

## Strategic Focus
- Expand the Graph Foundation Model platform across more enterprise decision use cases (credit, fraud, growth, monitoring).
- Grow the team (~20 today) with research scientists, data engineers, and deployment strategists.
- Maintain a “small on purpose” approach with deep stack ownership from data ingest to live decision.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: “Small team, deep stack, real ownership.” Engineers, scientists, and operators own the work end-to-end.
- **Remote / Hybrid**: Remote-first with hybrid options in São Paulo.
- **Team Background**: Colleagues from OpenAI, Stone, Itaú, McKinsey, Embraer, XP, HSBC, Santander.
- **Perks**: Frontier research that ships into production; publish-grade research with real business impact; no contractors on the model path.
- **Open Roles**: 7 positions including Research Scientist, Senior Data Engineer, Staff Software Engineer, Deployment Strategist, Marketing Lead, Enterprise Sales.
