What you'll do
We're looking for a Travel Pay Solutions & Operations Engineer to serve as the primary execution point for Travel Pay onboarding, partner coordination, and day-to-day operational support across our client base and internal teams.
This role sits within the Solutions Engineering team and works in close collaboration with the Travel Pay Product team. It is not a software engineering role, but it requires deep technical literacy. You will be expected to master our product suite—including VCNs, CTAs, and partner integrations—translating that knowledge into precise configurations, structured client onboarding, and scalable internal processes. You will play a critical role in organizing incoming requests from Sales and Customer Success, building the operational maturity required as we scale our travel solutions across Latin America.
Primary Responsibilities:
-
Client Onboarding & Activation: Own the end-to-end technical onboarding of new Travel Pay clients, including corporate registration, Real Card Number (RCN) setup, and alias configuration.
-
Technical Configuration: Manage Custom Data Fields (up to 29 fields per template), MCC-based restrictions, purchase groups, and approval flows.
-
Partner Coordination: Prepare and submit Mastercard registration documentation, coordinate with Mastercard Implementation Managers, and manage boarding forms for VCN operations.
-
Sales & CS Enablement: Serve as the first point of operational contact for product capability questions, providing structured, well-reasoned responses and supporting pre-sales configuration proposals.
-
Issue Resolution: Resolve operational incidents related to rejected VCNs, reconciliation mismatches between booking and transaction records, and enriched data configuration (Smart Data / CDF3).
-
Process Maturity: Document SOPs and runbooks in Google Drive or similar tools to transition from ad-hoc tasks to a structured, scalable operational flow.

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.
