Product Lead

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 looking for a Product Lead, Cards Benefits (Global, Black Card) to own the global product strategy and P&L for Clara’s premium corporate card portfolio, starting with the Black Card. In this role, you will define what premium corporate cards mean for Clara's business customers across Latin America—shaping the benefits stack, unlocking exclusive experiences, and creating a strong competitive differentiator. You will manage card networks, benefit providers, and cross-functional teams to build and scale a compelling benefits experience while driving end-to-end commercial outcomes.

• Own the full global P&L for Clara's Black Card product line, managing revenue, benefit costs, pricing, packaging, and contribution margin in close partnership with Finance and Commercial leadership.

• Define and execute the global benefits strategy across travel, lounge access, insurance, concierge, and lifestyle categories, benchmarking against top-tier corporate and consumer card programs.

• Lead commercial negotiations and build product partnerships with external benefit providers, while collaborating directly with Mastercard on World Elite benefit features and co-marketing initiatives.

• Drive the rollout of Black Card benefits across core Latin American markets (Mexico, Colombia, Brazil), ensuring local relevance while maintaining an operationally scalable infrastructure.

• Conduct continuous customer discovery with high-value accounts to validate benefit adoption, usage, and retention metrics.

• Leverage AI tools to accelerate research, prototyping, and competitive analysis, maintaining technical involvement via Github to read PRs and track shipped features.

• Analyze product performance, activation metrics, and cohort behavior independently using SQL and Metabase.

Where we work

• Competitive salary and stock options (ESOP) from day one.
• An annual learning budget and accelerated development paths.
