A day in the life
You start your morning reviewing deal pipelines and prioritizing site searches across multiple Brazilian cities. By mid-morning, you're on a call with a developer negotiating lease terms for a build-to-suit facility. After lunch, you join a cross-functional meeting with Operations, Finance, and Construction to align on a new site's timeline and budget. In the afternoon, you're conducting due diligence on a shortlisted property, coordinating with legal on transaction documents, and updating stakeholders on deal status. No two days are the same — you'll balance strategic site selection with fast-paced execution across a high-volume portfolio in one of Amazon's fastest-growing markets.
