Key Responsibilities

Drive Regional Sales Growth: Own and execute the end-to-end sales cycle for both scaling Mid-Market companies and complex Enterprise corporations in Rio de Janeiro.
Leverage Local Network: Use your existing relationships and deep understanding of Rio de Janeiro's business ecosystem, especially among decision-makers in finance, operations, and procurement, to open doors and generate qualified leads.
Manage Complex Deal Cycles: Navigate multi-stakeholder procurement and legal processes typical of Enterprise clients while maintaining a high-velocity pipeline for Mid-Market segments.
Optimize the Sales Engine: Utilize tools like Hubspot, Metabase, Amplemarket, and N8N to manage your pipeline, automate workflows, and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to consistently improve conversion rates.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with product, risk, legal, and customer success teams via Slack and Google Drive to align market strategies, unblock complex deals, and ensure a seamless onboarding experience for new clients.

Clara’s Hybrid Policy

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.
