This article aims to understand the trajectory and professional performance of university pedagogical advisors, from an investigation of qualitative research approach, of an exploratory nature, which uses the multiple case study method, with data analyzed through content analysis. Advisors of four universities were investigated, being two in Brazil, one in Argentina and one in Uruguay, whose data were collected between 2018 and 2019. The analysis indicates that the advisor's professionalism is in development, however, there are countless challenges that they need to overcome, such as the lack of autonomy, institutional support, legitimacy in the function and the pedagogical training of university teachers. We conclude that, related to the development of their professionalism and the overcoming these challenges, specific professional knowledge of the university pedagogical advisor is necessary, which, if developed, can help to reach their professional legitimacy.
