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, Waste Management, Figma, and Ramp — go to market with unique data, signals, and AI research.

In 2025, we crossed $100M in revenue and raised a $100M Series C at a $3.1B valuation, backed by world-class investors including Sequoia, CapitalG, and First Round. We also completed our first first employee tender offer and 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.

Data Partnerships @ Clay

Clay's data ecosystem of 150+ partners is one of our core competitive advantages — and it's growing fast.

• 3-5 years of experience in partnership management, account management, customer success, or business development, preferably in B2B SaaS or data/API companies.

• Strong relationship-building skills with the ability to build trust and credibility with external partners.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — you can translate technical concepts for business stakeholders and business needs for technical teams.
