Zatlas is the payments automation platform for hospitality. We help large hotel chains in Latin America — and increasingly in Europe and the United States — turn every reservation from Booking.com, Expedia and other platforms into collected revenue, with far less manual work. We are hiring our first Head of Legal to own the legal and regulatory foundation this cross-border business runs on.

Why this role, and why now

Zatlas sits at the intersection of software and money movement. We collect on behalf of hotels, work with acquirers and card networks, move funds across borders, and hold guest and property data in several jurisdictions. Each of those facts carries a regulatory question, and those questions now need a single owner rather than a series of one-off engagements with outside firms.

The near-term centre of gravity is Mexico: the characterization of what Zatlas is, from a regulatory and tax standpoint, and what that implies for the licences or exemptions we rely on. But it cannot be answered for Mexico alone — our entities span Mexico, Brazil, the US and Europe,



and our expansion path points globally. As the first lawyer here you will draft, negotiate and decide rather than supervise, and design the function itself: how we use external counsel, what we standardise, and what the company simply should not do.

What you will own

1. Regulation — the priority

• Mexico: lead the regulatory characterization of our activity — whether we need to be a regulated entity, how our collection and closed-loop flows are treated, and the position we take with the SAT and, where relevant, the CNBV and Banxico. Own the analysis, the conclusion and the plan that follows.

• Brazil: payment-institution rules, PIX and card-scheme requirements, consumer protection and LGPD, and the implications for our local entity.

• United States: money transmission and payment-facilitator questions as we take on US hotel clients, plus obligations attached to our US holding structure.

• Euro
