About Us & The Role

We do not do “check-box” security, and we don’t do corporate fluff. The Security Department at dLocal is lean, forward-thinking, and operates at the intersection of a hyper-growth fintech and the world's most complex emerging markets. We believe security is a business enabler—not a gatekeeper—and we build our team accordingly.

This is a newly created, senior IC role sitting directly in the CISO's office. We are looking for a Cybersecurity Programs & Delivery Lead who will serve as the strategic execution engine of the security department—someone who takes the CISO's vision and translates it into structured, measurable, and relentlessly driven delivery.

You will work as a peer alongside the Department Heads. Where they own the technical and domain depth, you own the operational backbone that connects everything: strategy to execution, ambiguity to structure, initiative to outcome.

This is not a coordination role. We are not looking for a project manager who tracks tasks. We are looking for a cybersecurity professional who has decided they want to use their subject-matter expertise to drive strategy, own programs end-to-end, and act as a force multiplier across the entire department—without needing direct reports to make things happen.

You will have the CISO and security leadership as your executive umbrella: the sponsorship, the political cover, and the pragmatic air support to make trade-offs and remove blockers. What we need from you is the street-smart execution to take that mandate and run with it.
