Thank you for your interest in this opportunity! Your application will only be considered complete after completing a digital assessment. At the end of the application process, and if you meet the necessary criteria for the role, you will receive a link by email (to the address used for registration) to access it. This step is mandatory, as our recruitment process is based on competency assessment.

 


We are a company of everyone and for everyone. At MC, we put people at the center: customers, employees, and the community. We create value together, innovate at every step, and lead with closeness, recognizing each person’s unique qualities. Different stories and ideas unite us under the same purpose: to grow and become the best version of ourselves. Because everything we are, we achieve together.

 

We believe that improving our people’s experience also involves challenging the way we work—questioning processes, simplifying tasks, and turning good ideas into solutions that make a difference in our day-to-day work.
We’re looking for someone to join the People team and lead transformation projects—someone with critical thinking skills, curiosity, and a drive to make things happen. Someone who seeks to understand problems before proposing solutions, who asks questions constructively, and who can mobilize different teams to drive change.

We value an AI first approach: thinking, from the very beginning of each project, about how Artificial Intelligence, data, and automation can help create a simpler and more effective solution—one that is critically thoughtful and people-centered.

 

We count on you to…

  • Question the way we do things by listening to teams and identifying processes, tasks, or steps that can be simplified, improved, or eliminated;
  • Lead cross-functional People projects from start to finish: understand the need, define objectives, develop a plan, engage the right people, and monitor implementation and results;
  • Analyze and redesign processes throughout the employee journey, from recruitment and onboarding to development, performance evaluation, and internal mobility;
  • Transform team and business needs into practical solutions that make work easier and improve the experience for employees and leaders;
  • Explore and apply Artificial Intelligence and automation, identifying opportunities to reduce manual tasks, improve access to information, and support decision-making;
  • Test solutions before rolling them out across the organization, gathering feedback, and making adjustments as needed;
  • Ensure that projects move forward by tracking deadlines, resources, risks, and decisions, and helping to resolve any obstacles that arise;
  • Mobilize different teams to work together, fostering alignment and clarifying objectives, responsibilities, and next steps;
  • Support the adoption of new tools and ways of working through clear communication, team engagement, and follow-up after implementation;
  • Measure the impact of changes using metrics such as time saved, error reduction, service quality, and employee satisfaction;
  • Monitor trends and best practices in HR, technology, and AI, assessing what can add value to our context.

 

So bring with you…

  • A college degree in a field relevant to the role;
  • Experience in project management, transformation, or process improvement—in Human Resources or other areas with skills transferable to this role;
  • Ability to break down a problem, understand its root causes, and turn an idea into an action plan;
  • Critical and constructive thinking: a willingness to ask questions, openness to hearing different perspectives, and the ability to propose alternatives;
  • Curiosity and initiative to experiment with AI and new technologies, with the ability to assess where they can be useful and recognize their limitations;
  • Experience implementing projects that involve different teams and tracking results;
  • Organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities while staying focused on what has the greatest impact;
  • Proficiency in working with data, interpreting information, and defining metrics to evaluate a project’s success;
  • Ability to communicate clearly, build trusting relationships, and mobilize people for change;
  • Autonomy to drive initiatives forward and a collaborative spirit to build solutions together.
