• Run consultative sales: Understand clients' current fuel management, maintenance, and travel processes, and demonstrate Clara's return on investment through parameterized controls, dynamic limits, and real-time visibility.
• Negotiate with Finance and Operations: Lead negotiations with multiple decision-makers, aligning the operational needs of fleet and logistics managers with the financial priorities of CFOs, treasurers, and controllers.
• Drive product adoption: Collaborate with the commercial team to ensure cards and platform access are used by drivers and managers, expanding adoption and total payment volume (TPV).
• Contribute to the evolution of Clara Vehicles: Act as a product champion and share customer learnings with this BU's Leadership and with the Product and Technology teams to improve the solution.

• At least 5 years of experience in B2B sales, commercial roles, field sales, or business development in the fintech, payments, fleet management, or fuel sectors.
• Proven experience in the fuel payments and fleet management market.
• Strong hunter profile, with a track record of high-volume active prospecting, complex negotiations, and managing the full sales cycle from opportunity identification to close.

Where we work

This is a hybrid position: you'll split your time between the office (Inside Sales), in-person client visits (Field Sales), and home. For most roles, we don't set a minimum number of in-office days - office presence happens naturally, tending to be more frequent during your initial onboarding and ramp-up period, or when requested by leadership.

• Competitive salary and stock options (ESOP) from day one.
