Our values represent essential behaviors, reflecting a winning mindset we strive to see in every team member.

The Senior Manager Digital Commerce Innovation shapes, enhances, and accelerates new and existing digital business models across Latin America, including social commerce, WhatsApp sales, agentic commerce, conversational commerce, and other future commerce opportunities.

• Build business cases with P&L logic, investment needs, expected impact, risks, dependencies, and recommendations for decision-making.

• Translate consumer pain points and market opportunities into actionable business requirements and cross-functional improvement plans.

• Lead cross-functional delivery from concept to launch with business, digital, technology, finance, operations, and market teams, ensuring initiatives are executed on time and in full.

• Track post-launch performance, identify optimization opportunities, and recommend whether initiatives should scale, evolve, or pivot.

Stakeholder Management & Communication

• Act as a strategic connector between business, digital, technology, finance, operations, brand, CRM, analytics, and market teams.
• Prepare and deliver clear, simplified presentations for different audiences, from senior leaders to project teams and junior resources.
• Influence stakeholders without relying only on direct authority, creating alignment around priorities, trade-offs, decisions, and execution needs.

Key Relationships

• Digital / eCommerce leadership and market teams
• Technology, data, analytics, and automation partners
• Finance, operations, supply chain, and commercial teams

• Strong consumer-first mindset, with ability to design frictionless omnichannel experiences and translate insights into business action.
• Proven project management capability, including roadmap planning, stakeholder alignment, prioritization, timeline ownership, and execution follow-up.
• Ability to brief business requirements clearly to technical teams and mediate trade-offs between consumer value, complexity, cost, and speed.
