Fashion retail across Brazil with 200+ stores, owned by Pepkor
Avenida is a Brazilian fashion retailer operating 200+ stores across 17 states, founded in 1978 and now part of Pepkor (South Africa's largest retailer). The tech stack reflects a traditional retail operations spine—Oracle Retail, TOTVS, SQL Server, Power BI—paired with emerging security priorities (SOC evolution, SIEM/SOAR implementation). The hiring skew toward sales (68% of open roles) and heavy junior/intern composition signals rapid store expansion and frontline staffing, while active projects around planograms, visual merchandising, and inventory accuracy point to margin pressure and shrink management as core operational concerns.
Notable leadership hires: Financial Product Lead, Department Lead, Product Lead

Founded as a 50-square-meter store in Cuiabá in 1978, Avenida has grown into one of Brazil's leading affordable-fashion retailers under the Pepkor holding structure. The business is built on accessible pricing, everyday promotions, and tight operational control across store execution, merchandise planning, and financial systems. Active projects span store campaigns, inventory planogram rollouts, and budgeting system implementation, reflecting the operational complexity of managing a geographically dispersed retail footprint.
