About Pela Terra
Pela Terra is a sustainable agriculture investment advisory platform based in Portugal. We work closely with Fund Managers to support the design, launch, and operation of investment funds that acquire and regenerate farmland across the Iberian Peninsula. Our investors are private individuals, family offices, and residency-by-investment applicants who want their capital to do something real on the land. We are a deliberately small, highly efficient, technology-forward team with a flat structure: seven people today, no intention to grow beyond ten.The role
We are hiring a Chief Operating Officer to act as the operational centre of gravity for Pela Terra, professionalising how the firm runs and freeing the founders to focus on strategy, fundraising, and external Cargoing. You will own the financial health and regulatory integrity of the Empresa, the performance of the underlying agricultural assets, and the operational spine of the firm. The founders stay involved to support across the business, but the firm will be yours to run.
This is a generalist role. It spans people management, AI management, portfolio operations, regulatory discipline, acquisitions, dispersions, farm operations, licensing, infrastructure, capex, renewable energy, industrial processing and operational control across multiple regulated entities.
What you will own
- Day-to-day Empresa leadership: the operating rhythm, internal systems, reporting, hiring, and coordination across functional leads. The escalation point for operational issues.
- Portfolio operations support and the fund-manager interface: signature chains, regulatory constraints, service-level discipline, audits, and smoother collaboration with fund-manager partners and their compliance teams.
- Real-asset execution: running the closing process after deals are qualified (term sheets, promissory contracts, deposits, due diligence, investment-committee readiness, signing), monthly operator P&L reviews, water security and licensing, and infrastructure capex with tight schedule and budget control.
- The PTIII solar layer: design and execution support, including site selection, PPAs, operator selection, and structuring.
- Portfolio-Empresa governance: SPV governance, quarterly reviews, reporting standards, budgeting, operator accountability, and capex sign-off within delegated authority. Where appointed, serving as a director of PTIII portfolio companies.
- Financial integrity: monthly visibility over fund and portfolio-Empresa P&L and cash, co-owning budgets and close processes with the finance lead.
- Liquidity and corporate transactions: structured solutions for liquidity, refinancing, secondaries, PPAs, equity rounds, and similar.
- The founder catch-all: the high-judgement calls that only land on the senior operator's desk.
What we are looking for
**We are hiring for the person, not the CV**. Judgement, agency, leadership, and the ability to take ownership of a complex operation matter more than any single line on a resume. The points below describe the shape of someone who could do this well, not a checklist to tick.
- A proven senior operator who has run the whole machine before, not just a division of one. COO, GM, MD, or equivalent experience in a complex operating environment.
- Strong financial and legal literacy, ideally gained through hands-on experience in investment: M&A, private equity, asset management, fund management, investment banking, corporate finance, or transaction-focused advisory work.
- High written communication standards: investor-safe, regulator-safe, litigation-safe.
- High verbal communication standards: information-dense, time-efficient, multi-context debating, active listening, solution-oriented, etc
- High agency: you create systems, you do not just run them. Comfortable deciding on incomplete information, documenting, and moving.
- Diplomatic negotiation under asymmetry, strategic patience with bureaucracy, and firm boundary enforcement with external providers.
- Fluent English. Portuguese is a bonus.
- Agricultural, real-estate, private-equity, or fund-management background is useful but not necessary. Nothing substitutes for operational ability and strategic judgement.
Not right for you if you want a specialist seat, a process-management role, a large team to lead, or stable ground before you can do your best work.
Compensation and terms
- EUR 80,000 annual base.
- Up to 100 percent performance-related bonus, structured to scale meaningfully as the firm grows.
- Fully remote, with around one week per month in Lisbon.
How to apply
Send a CV and a one-page letter to . In the letter, tell us about a time you took operational ownership of something that was on fire and made it run. Directness counts. No traditional cover letters, no essays.
