CX Architect

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. 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.

We’re looking for someone who thinks like a general manager and will pursue every opportunity to improve post sales efficiency with the tenacity of a P&L owner on the way to moonshot goals like expanding quota capacity for our GTME (seller) organization. To do that, this person will wear many hats simultaneously including: product manager — roadmapping and designing solutions, operations strategist — working backwards from finance goals to operational milestones, technical architect — making changes to our systems, business partner — getting really deep with your end users (post sales), and RevOps pro — building processes fit for scale like transparent ROE.

What You'll Do Maximize value creation across the customer journey: Find every inefficiency in the expansion journey and work with our GTM Ops and internal GTM Engineers to solve them using Clay and other tooling. You’ll think and act like a P&L owner evolving every put and take in our GTM system. Push the art of the possible: Own the day to day of achieving our internal moonshot goals like greatly expanding efficiency and finding new use cases for Clay. Innovate with empathy : ****Embed within the post 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 selling and retention process / methodology, develop playbooks, create field assets, participate in every forecast call and help to drive the GTM operating rhythm. Partner with GTM Finance on planning and incentives : operationalize comp rollout, provide operational assumptions for capacity models, and collaborate on high-leverage questions like segment prioritization, connect the dots across the GTM.
