Job description

Ready to accelerate your career?

Clara is the fastest-growing company in Latin America. We've built the leading solution for companies to make and manage all their payments. We already help over 20,000 large and growing businesses operate with agility and financial clarity through locally issued corporate cards, bill pay, financing, and a powerful B2B platform built for scale.

Clara is backed by some of the most successful investors in the world, including top regional VCs like monashees, Kaszek, and Canary, and leading global funds like Notable Capital, Coatue, DST Global Partners, ICONIQ Growth, General Catalyst, Citi Ventures, SV Angel, Citius, Endeavor Catalyst, and Goldman Sachs - in addition to dozens of angel investors and local family offices.

We’re building the financial infrastructure that powers high-performing organizations across the region. We invite you to join us if you want to be part of a fast-paced environment that will accelerate your career and support you to do some of the best work of your life alongside a passionate and committed team distributed across the Americas.

The Role

Fotofacturas is Clara's invoice digitization suite. Mexican companies generate millions of CFDIs every month. Most still process them manually — downloading XMLs, reconciling by hand, chasing paper. Fotofacturas fixes that: capture a photo, scan a QR code, send a WhatsApp message, and the invoice is in Clara automatically, validated, categorized, and ready for approval.

This is a role to lead a “Builder Squad” Builder squads are lean by design. Two people, tight scope, high ownership. You'll move faster than any traditional PM role because you have to. This is not a committee product. Every week matters.

What You'll Do

Own discovery, prioritization, and outcomes across all four Fotofacturas products. That means understanding which surface is growing, which is stuck, and which is a distraction — and making the call.
Go deep on CFDI processing: how Mexican tax invoices are structured, what the SAT validation rules are, where OCR and AI extraction fail, and how to design flows that are forgiving of messy real-world documents.
Build and maintain the WhatsApp channel as a first-class product surface. Understand the WhatsApp Business API, conversation design, and how to make a chat interface feel like a product, not a hack.
Define and track the metrics that matter: invoices processed per week, OCR accuracy rates, time-to-capture, activation rates by channel (app vs. WhatsApp), and Fotofacturas contribution to overall AP automation adoption.
Use AI tools as your primary building tool. This squad runs on Claude, GPT, Cursor, and Claude Code. If you're not comfortable using LLMs as a daily work tool, this role is not a fit.

Contribute code for straightforward changes (copy, config, feature flags, simple UI, prompt tuning, analytics instrumentation) using AI coding tools. All contributions go through engineer review before merging.
Work in Git daily. Read PRs, understand what shipped, follow what's blocked.

What We're Looking For

Experience

5+ years in product management, with experience owning an AI-first, OCR, document-processing, or invoicing product
Track record of shipping products that changed user behavior, not just launched
Has operated in a lean environment — small team, broad scope, fast iteration — and thrived in it
Comfortable working with engineers as peers

Domain knowledge (invoicing + AI)

Understands CFDI structure and the SAT validation ecosystem. You know what an XML complemento is, what CFDI 4.0 changed, and why validation errors happen.
Has worked with OCR pipelines or document AI: what makes extraction fail, how to design human-in-the-loop fallbacks, and how to measure and improve accuracy over time
Comfortable designing conversational product surfaces (WhatsApp, chat, SMS). Understands conversation design constraints and where messaging channels break down as a UX
Has built or managed AI-first features — LLM extraction, classification, or generation — and knows how to evaluate them beyond "it seems to work"

Technical fluency

Uses AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) as a primary workflow, not occasionally
Comfortable with Git: branches, commits, PRs, reading diffs
Can read and lightly modify code using AI assistance — enough to unblock yourself and prototype without waiting for engineering
Understands prompt engineering well enough to iterate on LLM-based extraction and classification tasks independently

Product fundamentals

Strong prioritization instincts. With four products and one engineer, the biggest risk is building the wrong thing.
Data-literate. Comfortable with SQL, funnel analysis, and OCR accuracy metrics.
Clear written communicator. Can write a one-pager that drives alignment without a meeting.
Stakeholder management across engineering, enterprise clients (Eli Lily), finance operations, and sales.

Mindset

High agency. Defaults to action over process.
Scrappy. Comfortable doing things that don't scale to learn what scales.
Treats AI tools as core workflow — not a novelty, not something to experiment with on the side.
Thrives in a Builder squad: lean, fast, no hand-holding.

Nice to Have

Experience with the SAT's CFDI validation APIs or similar fiscal digitization platforms
Experience with WhatsApp Business API at a product level
Background in AP automation, expense management, or fintech in Mexico
Experience managing enterprise or white-label product variants without letting them become custom engineering projects

Language

English required — it's Clara's working language across all markets. Spanish required for this role: the product lives in the Mexican fiscal ecosystem, and deep CFDI knowledge is inseparable from Spanish-language regulatory context. Native or near-native Spanish is a strong preference. Portuguese is a plus.

Location

Mexico. Mexico City strongly preferred.

Clara’s Hybrid Policy

Claridians in a hybrid mode split their time between working from the office, talking to or visiting customers, or working from home. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for each individual and team.

We don't enforce a minimum number of days for most roles, but you're expected to spend time at the office organically, and be at the office most days during your ramp-up or when required by your leader.
