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 an Enterprise Account Executive to lead high-impact commercial conversations with large companies in Colombia. You will be at the forefront of Clara’s expansion, partnering with finance leaders to solve real, complex problems at scale through our modern financial platform.
- Drive New Business: Own the full sales cycle for Enterprise accounts, from the first strategic conversation to contract signature. You will build and maintain a high-quality pipeline, ensuring rigorous forecasting and hygiene within Hubspot.
- Strategic C-Level Partnership: Lead high-stakes conversations, primarily with CFOs, Treasurers, and senior finance leaders. You will translate complex financial structures into clear value propositions, positioning Clara as a strategic partner rather than just a vendor.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate effectively with internal stakeholders across Risk, Product, and Operations via Slack and Google Drive to deliver tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of large-scale enterprises.
- Structured Execution: Manage long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles with discipline. You will navigate the complexities of corporate buying processes, ensuring clarity and momentum at every stage.

Build your sales career at Clara
At Clara, we don't just offer a sales job—we provide an environment designed for high performance, long-term wealth, and continuous career growth.
How you'll earn: base salary plus uncapped commission and equity from day one. Your variable is tied directly to the accounts you close, and top-performing AEs consistently earn more than their managers.
What we leave behind
If you have been in sales long enough, you know the industry's bad habits. We actively reject them:
- No "Rolodex" hiring: We don't hire just for connections. We value professionals who actually care to learn our product, solve real customer problems, and know how to close.
- No "Churn and Burn": We reject the revolving door culture. When we hire you, we invest in your quick success and long-term retention.
The Clara sales model. We engineered a transparent system built to help you win big:
- #Ownership (uncapped potential): We deeply value the individual contributor. Our top-performing AEs consistently earn more than their managers, backed by absolutely zero commission caps and access to company equity.
- #Simplicity & #Clarity (transparent compensation): No complex math required. Your variable compensation is directly aligned with business goals, with real-time visibility over your metrics so you always know exactly where you stand.
- #Inclusivity (teamwork meets territory): We carve out clear, fair territories so you can autonomously run your own book of business, backed by a highly collaborative global team.
- #Pride (a product that delivers): We build exceptional spend management products that actually solve the customer's pain points, making your pitching process smoother and more impactful.
- #ABC (an expanding arsenal): We never settle. Continuous platform innovation and new product launches mean you always have an ever-growing toolkit to cross-sell and hit your targets faster.
