HOW WE WORK *
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.
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.
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.
