Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Sales Architect role stands out as a SaaS-native go-to-market systems position, sitting at the intersection of product thinking, revenue operations, and enablement. The listing signals a company operating at meaningful scale, where sales efficiency and tooling architecture are treated as first-class levers, not back-office support. It is also notable for its explicit link between internal GTM execution and external practitioner feedback, a pattern common in modern SaaS platforms that sell to operators and iterate quickly based on field learning.
From a SaaS career standpoint, the work maps closely to the operating mechanics that determine durable revenue: funnel design, capacity planning, forecasting rhythm, and process adoption across a seller organization. The remit touches both strategy and implementation, offering exposure to how finance targets translate into systems, incentives, and day-to-day workflows. Experience gained here tends to transfer well across SaaS businesses that rely on RevOps maturity, cross-functional alignment, and rigorous measurement to scale.
The position is best suited to someone who enjoys ambiguity and building new operating infrastructure rather than inheriting a fixed playbook. It will fit professionals who like switching between quantitative analysis, systems changes, and stakeholder management, and who are comfortable being embedded with sales while partnering closely with finance and technical teams.

Push the art of the possible: Own the day to day of achieving our internal moonshot goals like greatly expanding sales efficiency and finding new use cases for Clay.
Innovate with empathy: ****Embed within the sales organization to generate novel solutions to current problems. Look around corners to build ahead of new technologies and approaches.
Lead implementation and change management for GTM initiatives: Design and implement sales process / methodology, develop playbooks, create field assets, participate in every forecast call and help to drive the GTM operating rhythm.

At least 1 year of experience owning a P&L, quota, retention, implementation, pipeline or other business outcome personally
You’ve implemented novel GTM strategies with measurable business impact: reinvented the playbook before from first principles and are excited to do it again
Exceptional quantitative modeling skills with experience understanding sales performance
Executive (but still grounded) presence: you communicate clearly, challenge assumptions in the room, and are comfortable saying "I don't know yet!”
An informed perspective on AI and real examples of how you've put it to work in your workflows or team processes
You’re excited to spend time speaking with our customers and community to bring Clay's best practices to market
