Senior Manager, Business Development
Leads and develops a North American BDR team, improving inbound qualification, outbound campaigns, pipeline generation, and sales processes while partnering across teams to deliver performance and talent growth.
Clara is the leading platform in Latin America for companies to execute and manage every payment operation. More than 50,000 leading and fast-growing businesses run on our corporate cards, bill pay, financing and B2B payments, and in 2025 the Financial Times named Clara the region’s fastest-growing company. We’re passionate about helping every company we work with become more effective—and, through that, raising the region’s competitiveness. We’re ~400 people, backed by Notable Capital, Coatue, Kaszek, monashees, DST Global, ICONIQ, General Catalyst and Goldman Sachs, among others.
What you’ll do
We’re hiring a Mexico Country Manager. You will lead Clara’s largest commercial team, carry the number for the market, and be our most senior voice in front of customers, partners, press, and the broader business community in Mexico. You report to the CEO, and what you learn in-market shapes what the company builds.
This is not a caretaker role for a mature market. We’re still early on an ambitious roadmap, distribution is unsettled, and while relationships drive business – the way commercial teams work is also being rewritten by AI. We want someone who sees that as the reason to take the job.
What you’ll own
How we work
Clara runs AI-native, and that is not a slogan here. GTM means instrumented funnels and forecasts you interrogate yourself (Metabase, Databricks, Snowflake), a CRM that reflects reality (HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio), and automation built into prospecting and customer workflows (Amplemarket, ElevenLabs). Most leaders at Clara build their own tools and ship working internal apps with Claude Code, Codex and similar. You do not need to be a trained engineer. You do need to reach for these tools by instinct rather than delegate them.
What success looks like
Who you are
We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be competitive for the role. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
Must haves
Nice to haves
Where we work
This is a hybrid role: you'll split your time between the office, customers and home. We don't set a minimum number of office days for most roles — you'll spend time in the office naturally, and most days during your ramp-up or when your leader asks.
If you meet the must-haves, apply — the nice-to-haves are a bonus, not a requirement.
