Yes.
First, any available jobs will go to the citizens of Colombia before any foreigner. Second, for almost every job you will need fluent Spanish. Third, you will need official permission to work, with an appropriate visa.
Here are some links that may help you understand the requirements:

This last link downloads a PDF from MinTrabajo, you can find it and other links by searching for 'colombia extranjeros trabajar' :
