Latin America's largest automotive distributor and manufacturer
Grupo CAOA operates across manufacturing, distribution, and retail with three major automotive brands across a 240-dealership network in Brazil. The company is scaling aggressively in sales roles (32 open) and operations (20 open) while maintaining a junior-heavy workforce, signaling rapid field expansion. Core infrastructure relies on SAP, Power BI, and TOTVS Protheus, but active projects cluster heavily around accounting process automation and intercompany reconciliation—a pattern that suggests operational friction as the business scales across brands and geographies.
Grupo CAOA is a privately held automotive conglomerate founded in 1979 and headquartered in Brazil. The company manufactures vehicles through CAOA Montadora, a facility in Anápolis with 1.5 million square meters, and distributes through 240+ dealerships with approximately 1,200 sales consultants and 2,400 service technicians across Brazil. The organization operates brands including Hyundai, Subaru, Ford, and CAOA Chery. In addition to vehicle sales and service, the company runs an energy efficiency research center (CPEE), the largest of its kind in Latin America. With over 10,000 employees and active hiring in Brazil and South Africa, the organization combines manufacturing scale with direct-to-consumer retail coverage.
Primary systems: SAP, TOTVS Protheus, SQL Server, and Power BI for analytics. Also uses Microsoft 365, Alteryx, KNIME, and Tableau Prep for data workflows. Web development relies on JavaScript, HTML, CSS, with Python and Azure cloud services supporting automation.
Active projects focus on accounting process automation and system integration, recall and campaign management, network planning for dealership growth, property prospecting for new locations, and improving intercompany accounting and compliance processes.
