What you'll do

We're looking for an Associate Product Manager to join our Core Cards Processing team. This role sits at the heart of Clara’s payment infrastructure, working on high-impact initiatives across products like Travel, Fleet, and Corporate Cards. You will collaborate with processors, networks (Mastercard), and internal engineering to build and scale core issuing capabilities. You will have ownership over critical initiatives impacting transaction processing, card lifecycle, settlement, and operational efficiencies.

• Core Product Ownership: Drive the evolution of Clara’s card processing infrastructure, including issuing, card flows, clearing, settlement, reconciliation, and payments application.
• Vertical Enablement: Partner with business teams to translate vertical needs into core platform capabilities and enable new card-based products through core infrastructure.
• Cross-Functional Execution: Work closely with Engineering, Operations, Finance, Compliance, and external providers (like Mastercard) to coordinate initiatives and support delivery across multiple workstreams.
• Product Discovery & Delivery: Turn complex operational and business problems into structured product solutions, contributing to roadmap planning and long-term platform evolution.

Who you are

• Structured problem solving: Ability to break down complex financial infrastructure problems into clear product requirements.
• Execution & delivery: Comfortable managing product initiatives from discovery to production.
• Stakeholder management: Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, finance, and external partners.
• Experience or interest in AI tools to automate workflows.
• Excellent verbal and written communication and adaptability to fast-changing environments.

• Experience with payment networks (Mastercard, Visa) or familiarity with payment rails.
• Independent analytical skills using spreadsheets or Metabase.
• Basic proficiency in Portuguese or a desire to learn it.

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.
