Fotofacturas is Claras invoice digitization suite. Mexican companies generate millions of CFDIs every month. Most still process them manually downloading XMLs reconciling by hand chasing paper. Fotofacturas fixes that: capture a photo scan a QR code send a WhatsApp message and the invoice is in Clara automatically validated categorized and ready for approval.
This is a role to lead a Builder Squad Builder squads are lean by design. Two people tight scope high ownership. Youll move faster than any traditional PM role because you have to. This is not a committee product. Every week matters.
- Own discovery prioritization and outcomes across all four Fotofacturas products. That means understanding which surface is growing which is stuck and which is a distraction and making the call.
- Go deep on CFDI processing: how Mexican tax invoices are structured what the SAT validation rules are where OCR and AI extraction fail and how to design flows that are forgiving of messy real-world documents.
- Build and maintain the WhatsApp channel as a first-class product surface. Understand the WhatsApp Business API conversation design and how to make a chat interface feel like a product not a hack.
- Define and track the metrics that matter: invoices processed per week OCR accuracy rates time-to-capture activation rates by channel (app vs. WhatsApp) and Fotofacturas contribution to overall AP automation adoption.
- Use AI tools as your primary building tool. This squad runs on Claude GPT Cursor and Claude Code. If youre not comfortable using LLMs as a daily work tool this role is not a fit.
- Contribute code for straightforward changes (copy config feature flags simple UI prompt tuning analytics instrumentation) using AI coding tools. All contributions go through engineer review before merging.
- Work in Git daily. Read PRs understand what shipped follow whats blocked.
Experience
- 5 years in product management with experience owning an AI-first OCR document-processing or invoicing product
- Track record of shipping products that changed user behavior not just launched
- Has operated in a lean environment small team broad scope fast iteration and thrived in it
- Comfortable working with engineers as peers
Domain knowledge (invoicing AI)
- Understands CFDI structure and the SAT validation ecosystem. You know what an XML complemento is what CFDI 4.0 changed and why validation errors happen.
- Has worked with OCR pipelines or document AI: what makes extraction fail how to design human-in-the-loop fallbacks and how to measure and improve accuracy over time
- Comfortable designing conversational product surfaces (WhatsApp chat SMS). Understands conversation design constraints and where messaging channels break down as a UX
- Has built or managed AI-first features LLM extraction classification or generation and knows how to evaluate them beyond it seems to work
Technical fluency
- Uses AI coding tools (Cursor Claude Code or similar) as a primary workflow not occasionally
- Comfortable with Git: branches commits PRs reading diffs
- Can read and lightly modify code using AI assistance enough to unblock yourself and prototype without waiting for engineering
- Understands prompt engineering well enough to iterate on LLM-based extraction and classification tasks independently
Product fundamentals
- Strong prioritization instincts. With four products and one engineer the biggest risk is building the wrong thing.
- Data-literate. Comfortable with SQL funnel analysis and OCR accuracy metrics.
- Clear written communicator. Can write a one-pager that drives alignment without a meeting.
- Stakeholder management across engineering enterprise clients (Eli Lily) finance operations and sales.
Mindset
- High agency. Defaults to action over process.
- Scrappy. Comfortable doing things that dont scale to learn what scales.
- Treats AI tools as core workflow not a novelty not something to experiment with on the side.
- Thrives in a Builder squad: lean fast no hand-holding.
- Experience with the SATs CFDI validation APIs or similar fiscal digitization platforms
- Experience with WhatsApp Business API at a product level
- Background in AP automation expense management or fintech in Mexico
- Experience managing enterprise or white-label product variants without letting them become custom engineering projects
English required its Claras working language across all markets. Spanish required for this role: the product lives in the Mexican fiscal ecosystem and deep CFDI knowledge is inseparable from Spanish-language regulatory context. Native or near-native Spanish is a strong preference. Portuguese is a plus.
Mexico. Mexico City strongly preferred.
