Born in Formosa, Jara made his senior debut in 2002 with Juventud Unida. In 2006, after representing local sides Leandro N. Alem and Flandria, he moved to Paraguay with 2 de Mayo.

In 2009, Jara joined Olimpia,[1] but featured sparingly. In January 2010, he agreed to a move to Sportivo Luqueño,[2] but did not sign for the club after failing a medical,[3]

On 9 December 2010, Jara moved to Brazil and signed for Santo André for the 2011 campaign.[4] For the 2012 season, he represented Brazilian sides Osvaldo Cruz,[5] Lagarto[6] before returning to his home country with Barracas Central.

In 2013, after playing for El Porvenir, Jara retired.

In April 2015, Jara was named manager of former club General Díaz.[7] He resigned in August,[8] and took over fellow league team Deportivo Santaní in September.[9]

On 17 December 2015, Jara was appointed Rubio Ñu manager for the 2016 campaign,[10] but resigned the following 2 October.[11] Fourteen days after leaving Rubio Ñu, he took over another former club, Sportivo Luqueño,[12] leaving the latter at the end of the season.

In April 2017, Jara took over División Intermedia side 22 de Septiembre[13] before returning to General Díaz in October.[14] On 6 December, after receiving public criticism from the club's president, he resigned.[15]

Jara returned to Santaní on 15 March 2018,[16] but was sacked on 26 August.[17] On 4 November, he was appointed at the helm of Independiente de Campo Grande.[18]

In May 2019, Jara left Independiente to take over Deportivo Capiatá.[19] Sacked on 25 August,[20] he returned to Santaní for a third spell on 2 September.[21]

Jara resigned on 28 October 2019,[22] only returning to club duties the following 21 February with 12 de Octubre.[23] He was sacked by the latter on 13 November 2020,[24] being later appointed manager of River Plate Asunción on 21 December.[25]
