Candidates for Susep jobs in Brazil must know crypto and will earn at least R$ 18,000

The Superintendence of Private Insurance (Susep), Brazil’s main regulatory body for the insurance sector, has launched a public contest offering salaries starting at R$ 18,000.
For the first time, candidates will be required to demonstrate knowledge of cryptocurrencies, reflecting the growing importance of digital assets in financial regulation, according to Livecoins.
The selection process, organized by Cebraspe, opens for registration on February 17 and runs until March 10. A total of 75 vacancies are available across multiple locations, including Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, and São Paulo. The exams, scheduled for June 8, will include both objective and essay components.
Crypto knowledge becomes essential for regulatory roles
While the contest is open to professionals with higher education in any field, those applying for positions in market supervision and regulation must have expertise in tokenization and crypto-assets. This marks a significant shift for Susep, aligning its recruitment process with the evolving financial landscape.
Candidates will compete for positions in four specialized areas: public accounting, law and public policy, market supervision and regulation, and information technology. Advanced degrees, such as a master’s or Ph.D., will provide additional points in the evaluation process.
Susep, an entity under Brazil’s Ministry of Finance, plays a critical role in overseeing insurance companies, pension funds, and capitalization markets. The inclusion of cryptocurrency topics in its exam underscores the agency’s commitment to modernizing financial oversight and addressing emerging risks.
With competitive salaries and a focus on digital finance, this public contest represents a key opportunity for professionals looking to enter Brazil’s regulatory sector.
Meanwhile, Brazil has solidified its status as a global leader in crypto, with 26 million citizens—12% of the population—owning digital assets. This ranks the country sixth worldwide in crypto adoption, highlighting its growing impact in the sector.
