Product Lead, Invoice Automation

About the role

Fotofacturas is Clara's 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. You'll move faster than any traditional PM role because you have to. This is not a committee product. Every week matters.

Responsibilities

• 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 you're 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 what's blocked.

Requirements

• 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 ove
