About the role
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 culture is unique inside and outside of work.

All employees can work for free with world-class coaches who specialize in creativity, management, and more.

Head of ARC (Activation, Research & Community) Recruiting is an interesting space to be in these days. Ripe for automation and AI application, but at the same time, it’s more important than ever to have a very human-centered approach to the work. There are more sourcing platforms available than ever, but referrals are a top hiring source. At Clay, we’re responding to this moment by building out a new team we’re calling ARC - Activation, Research and Community. As the Head of ARC, you'll build and lead
the team who will figure out who the world's best people are before we have an open role, turn that intelligence into precision sourcing, and extend Clay's talent reach into a thriving external customer community. The mandate behind the mandate, though, is to redefine what a modern talent function looks like when it's built on the same product and principles we sell to the world. You'll need to know when to build the system and when to work the room, when to automate a signal and when finding signal just means picking up the phone and catching up. The systems you build will matter just as much as the personal touches you insist on (meeting the candidate at the airport, surprise picking up their tab at dinner, remembering their coffee order years after your first meeting).
