ABOUT NUBANK
Nubank was established with the goal of freeing people from a bureaucratic, slow and inefficient financial system. Since then, through innovative technology and outstanding customer service, the company has been redefining people's relationships with money across Latin America. Nubank is now one of the largest digital banking platforms and financial technology companies in the world.
Nubank was founded in Sao Paulo in 2013, by Colombian David Vélez, and cofounded by Brazilian Cristina Junqueira and American Edward Wible. Today, Nubank is a global company, with offices in São Paulo (Brazil), Mexico City (Mexico), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Bogotá (Colombia), Durham (United States), and Berlin (Germany).

ABOUT THE TEAM
As Nubank continues its global expansion and continues innovating, the risk landscape becomes increasingly complex. While Nubank has developed a strong risk structure within the 2nd Line of Defense, we are looking to continue strengthening our risk maturity in the 1st Line. The Business Control Officer (BCO) team was therefore created to directly support the various business units of Nubank with managing their risks in a proactive manner, with the assumption that the 2nd and 3rd lines of defense do not exist.
This team is also continuously evolving, and BCOs are expected to directly contribute to the development of the BCO structure, by bringing their ideas to the table, and help create "best in class" risk management in the 1st Line of Defense.
