What you'll do

We're looking for a Corporate FX & Cross-Border Payments Specialist to drive the transactional growth of the company by prospecting, attracting, and migrating the international treasury flows of medium and large enterprises. Your main goal will be to position Clara’s infrastructure in front of Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) and corporate treasurers, demonstrating that our cross-border payments and foreign exchange ( FX ) solutions outperform traditional banking in agility, cost, and transparency.

Our strategic focus is capturing Share of Wallet; we are not looking for a screen operator or trader, but a high-level B2B business originator who leverages technical advantages and competitive exchange rates to move existing corporate flows into our ecosystem.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Enterprise Origination: Actively identify and acquire corporate clients with high transactional volumes, primarily importers, manufacturers, and multinational companies with intensive foreign payment needs.

• Consultative FX Sales: Analyze the current operational structures of prospects (including hidden costs in bank exchange spreads, SWIFT settlement times, and fees) to design tailored financial savings proposals.

• Flow Migration: Lead the commercial strategy to convince and guide clients through migrating their real payment flows for international suppliers onto Clara's platform.

• C-Level Pitching and Negotiation: Structure and present financial optimization simulations to treasury committees, CFOs, and General Directors.

• Internal Synergy: Coordinate directly with Risk, Compliance (international KYC/AML), and Product teams to streamline and accelerate the onboarding process for complex corporate clients.

Who you are

“We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.”

Must haves

• Minimum 5 to 8 years of experience in FX Corporate Sales, Corporate Banking, or top-tier Brokerage Firms, directly managing corporate enterprise portfolios.

• Deep technical understanding of the foreign exchange market ( FX Spot, Forwards) and international payment architecture (SWIFT network, local transfers).

• An active network and established relationships with financial decision-makers (C-Level) within the mid-market and enterprise business sectors.

• Proven role-specific execution in complex B2B enterprise sales cycles, with the ability to build immediate institutional credibility with experienced treasurers.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to articulate financial strategies clearly.

• Adaptability to fast-changing environments and a strong drive to transform traditional financial processes.

Nice to haves

• Understanding of operational pain points when integrating financial flows with ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, or NetSuite.

• Experience or interest in AI tools to automate sales workflows and increase productivity.

• Independent analytical skills using spreadsheets, SQL, or Python to evaluate client financial data.

• A good sense of humor.

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.
