Our mission is to help organizations turn any growth idea into reality.
We see growth as a creative practice, not a formula. Finding and reaching your best-fit customers takes unique ideas and constant iteration. As AI makes execution faster and tactics easier to copy, creativity is the only lasting advantage. We're already helping thousands of customers — including Anthropic, Notion, Google, and Ramp — go to market with unique data, signals, and AI research.
In 2025, we raised a $100M Series C backed by world-class investors including Sequoia, CapitalG, and First Round — and crossed $100M in revenue.
In 2026, we announced our second employee tender offer in 9 months at a new $5B valuation. We also launched a community equity round, for our customers, agency partners, and club members.
Some things to know about us:
Our community includes 11,000+ customers, 150+ integration partners, 125+ agencies, 50+ Clay clubs, and 30k members on Slack.
Our culture is unique inside and outside of work. Our team members are also DJs, activists, writers, clowns, marathoners, skydivers, psychedelic therapists, social workers, and more.
All employees can work for free with world-class coaches who specialize in creativity, management, and more.
Our operating principles — including negative maintenance and non-attached action — guide our work. Read more about them here.

Clay is building the modern GTM operating system – helping companies transform how they source, enrich, and activate data across sales, marketing, and revenue operations. As Clay's adoption expands across Private Equity firms and their portfolios, we're investing in a dedicated role to build and scale our PE partnerships motion end-to-end.
This is not a traditional sales role and not a 1:1 customer success role – it's a programs and systems role, focused on building repeatable infrastructure that allows Clay to scale across entire portfolios while staying credible in executive and board-level conversations. You'll take the foundation built by our Partnerships, GTM Engineering, and Enterprise teams and turn it into a repeatable PE playbook. Depending on background, you may lean more heavily into one track, but success requires tight integration across both.
We're hiring a foundational Partnerships hire to build Clay's PE motion from the ground up – from firm entry to portfolio activation to proving value at scale.
This role spans two tightly connected tracks, and we're hiring across both
Private Equity Business Development — shaping how Clay shows up to PE firms, building relationships with Operating Partners and Value Creation teams, and converting interest into pilots and portfolio entry
Portfolio Value Creation & Activation — designing scalable programs that drive Clay adoption, measurable GTM impact, and portfolio-wide expansion

Build repeatable infrastructure that drives adoption with minimal 1:1 touch
Define portfolio-level success metrics tied to PE value creation (adoption, time-to-value, expansion, ARR growth, GTM efficiency)
Convert outcomes into executive-ready narratives: ROI summaries, impact reports, board-level readouts
Gather structured feedback and represent PE needs back to Product, Partnerships, and GTM teams
Have 6–10+ years of experience in B2B SaaS partnerships, program management, GTM strategy, value creation, consulting, or revenue operations
