A strong, dynamic culture that embraces diversity and blends in PUMA's values and unique working environment: Forever Faster takes on a distinct Latin American flavor at PUMA Brazil.
The PUMA office is located in the western part of São Paulo, which is a very quiet and cozy neighborhood to live and work. It has easy access to the city center and other parts of the metropolitan region. A train station (Villa Lobos Jaguaré) and several bus lines serve the neighborhood. The area near the office provides many leisure opportunities such as shopping, sports or going out for lunch and dinner. There is no time to get bored!
Brazil is a culturally diverse country. People live and breathe football and carnival is passionately celebrated like nowhere else on the planet. Brazilian people are very welcoming, and they make every occasion a reason to celebrate.
With the greatest biodiversity of flora and fauna on the planet, Brazil's indescribable beauty features picture-perfect beaches and landscapes. Though São Paulo is one of the largest cities in the world, it has many green spaces and the great outdoors of the Mantiqueira Mountains or the stunning coastline of the Litoral Paulista are only a short drive away.
We are a very diverse team, with employees coming from all over Latin America. Portuguese is the official language, but you will always hear English and Spanish as we connect with our regional and global colleagues. Our culture is rooted in the values of individuality, teamwork, commitment and empowerment. We work in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
