The Field

LALA Brazil's Operations area is responsible for ensuring that the organization's back office runs smoothly, efficiently, and strategically. It currently comprises four sub-areas: Finance, Legal, Tech & Data, and Admissions, in addition to supporting the Human Resources Department.

Together, these areas form the foundation that enables the organization's sustainable growth and institutional innovation.
