About Clay
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 cultureis 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.

Chief of Staff, Marketing @ Clay
What You’ll Do
You’ll act as an extension of the Head of Marketing, helping turn strategy into execution across the entire function.
You’ll run the operating system of the marketing team. This includes owning planning cadences, shaping quarterly priorities, and ensuring teams are aligned against the highest-leverage work. You’ll identify gaps, unblock teams, and push initiatives forward without needing perfect direction.
You’ll lead high-impact, ambiguous projects that don’t neatly fit into a single function—whether that’s launching a new growth motion, improving how we connect product marketing to sales, or building new internal systems for tracking performance.
You’ll bring structure to chaos without hurting speed. This could mean building dashboards that actually get used, improving how we track pipeline influence, or creating processes that help us move faster without adding unnecessary overhead.
You’ll partner closely with leaders across growth, product marketing, brand, community, and sales to ensure everything we do is cohesive and compounds over time.
What You’ll Bring
You’re a builder first. You don’t just recommend—you implement. You’re comfortable going from zero to one and figuring things out along the way.
You have strong business judgment and can prioritize ruthlessly. You know how to separate what’s important from what’s just urgent.
You’ve operated in high-growth environments where things change quickly, and you’re comfortable navigating ambiguity without losing momentum.
You’re highly organized and detail-oriented, but you don’t get stuck in process. You know when to add structure and when to move fast.
You’re an excellent communicator. You can distill complex ideas into clear, actionable plans and align stakeholders across different functions.
You have a strong understanding of marketing—whether across growth, product marketing, or brand—and how it connects to revenue.
What Success Looks Like
Within your first few months, the marketing team has clearer priorities, tighter execution, and stronger alignment across functions.
High-impact projects that were previously stuck or undefined are now moving forward with momentum.
We have better visibility into what’s working, what’s not, and where to invest next.
Most importantly, marketing is driving more measurable impact on growth—across both self-serve and sales-led motions.
