Brazilian food and beverage manufacturer scaling sales and operations nationally
3 Corações is a 65-year-old Brazilian food manufacturer with 5,001–10,000 employees, dominant in roasted coffee and cappuccino, and a growing presence in plant-based and ready-to-drink categories. The hiring profile is heavily sales-weighted (81 of 208 roles), with acute focus on recruitment process improvement and sales coverage expansion — pain points that recur across the active project list (go-to-market planning, market studies, trade marketing). The tech stack is traditional (SAP ERP, Qlik/Power BI for analytics, VTEX for e-commerce, Greenhouse for recruitment), with no emerging tool adoption visible, suggesting a scaled operations business optimizing existing infrastructure rather than pursuing digital transformation.
3 Corações manufactures and distributes a diversified portfolio of coffee (roasted and soluble), cappuccino, plant-based beverages, chocolate, and ready-to-drink products. Founded in 1959 in Rio Grande do Norte, the company operates from headquarters in Eusébio, Ceará, and holds national leadership positions in roasted-ground coffee and cappuccino categories. In 2013, the company introduced TRES®, a multi-drink vending machine system offering 30+ beverage capsule flavors; in 2020, a joint venture expanded the portfolio into plant-based products. The organization spans manufacturing, logistics, sales, marketing, and support teams, with primary market focus in Brazil. Current operational priorities include reducing customer delinquency, expanding sales coverage in under-penetrated regions, and strengthening recruitment infrastructure.
