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 Partnerships Expert to build Clara’s accountant and VAR channel in Mexico. This is a role for a seasoned professional who has already stood up a partner program with accounting firms, accountants, and software resellers — and who thrives in a player-coach mindset: designing the motion, recruiting the first hundred partners, and personally closing the deals that prove the channel. You will own demand generation through this channel end-to-end. There is no inherited program to babysit. You will build it. In this role, you will: - **Build the channel: **Design and launch Clara’s partner program for accounting firms, BPOs, and value-added resellers of local accounting and ERP software. Map the landscape, pick the first cohorts, and get live referrals on the board. - **Own demand generation: **This seat is measured on qualified pipeline and converted volume sourced by the channel — not on logo count, signed MOUs, or partner-portal vanity metrics. - **Be strategically hands-on: **Write the commercial offer (referral, co-sell, enablement — not a reseller cut on interchange), recruit anchor partners, run the first enablement sessions, and sit in the rooms that close. - **Design the GTM by partner type: **A national accounting firm, a local accounting-software VAR, and a mid-market ERP boutique do not sell the same way. Build a distinct motion, kit, and incentive for each profile. - **Navigate internally: **Act as the bridge between partners and Product, Legal, Sales, Credit, and Customer Success so a referred company can go live without the partner losing face. - **Operational excellence: **Run the full partnership lifecycle: onboarding, enablement, QBRs, health scores, SLAs, and a clean cutoff for partners who do not produce. - **Drive growth: **Track partner-sourced leads, win rate, time-to-live, and transaction volume in HubSpot and Metabase. Double down on the partners who originate quality. Kill the ones who do not. - **Workflow efficiency: **Use Google Drive, Slack, and N8N to document the playbook and automate communication with the portfolio so the channel scales without a large ops bench. **Must have** - Experience: Minimum 5 years in Partnerships, Channel, or Business Development building an indirect motion with accountants, Accounting firms, VARs, or SMB software partners in Mexico. - Channel craft: Proven track record standing up (not only inheriting) a partner program — tiers, incentives, enablement, certification, and a referral or co-sell engine that produced measurable demand. - Domain: Strong working knowledge of the Mexican accounting and SMB-software landscape (accounting firms, CFDI workflows, local ERPs and accounting suites). You already know who influences the CFO and the contador. - Execution: High-impact delivery as a player-coach — strategy plus personal sourcing, negotiation, and onboarding. - Performance driven: Evidence of partner-sourced pipeline and transaction or subscription growth through an indirect channel, not only brand partnerships. - In-person collaboration: Based in Mexico City, hybrid, with regular time in the office and on the road with partners. - Tech-savvy: Experience or strong interest in AI tools to automate partner workflows and increase coverage per head.   **Nice to have** - Analytical skills: Independent work in Metabase, spreadsheets, SQL, or Python. - Automation: N8N, Slack integrations, or similar tools to run a partner portfolio without extra headcount. - CRM discipline: Hands-on HubSpot (or equivalent) with partner-sourced attribution you actually trust. - Fintech, payments, corporate cards, or expense-management experience. - A good sense of humor.   **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. ### Why Clara - **A high talent-density team** driven to make an impact in Latin America — low ego, high ownership. - Competitive salary and stock options (ESOP) from day one. - An annual learning budget and accelerated development paths. - English is our working language, with Spanish and Portuguese every day. ### How we work - **Clarity** — Open and direct communication: we say what we mean and give context where it matters. - **Simplicity** — If it can be simpler, it should be. - **Ownership** — We own everything we do, end to end. When something needs to happen, we don't wait. - **Pride** — We hold ourselves to a high standard, and it shows in what we deliver. - **ABC (Always Be Changing)** — We adapt fast, embrace change, and keep learning. - **Inclusivity** — Diverse ideas, stories and perspectives build a better Clara. If you meet the must-haves, apply — the nice-to-haves are a bonus, not a requirement.
