New York, United States Clay Labs Full time
Hey there.

At Clay, we believe in empowering the growth of every business. We're on a mission to help teams grow their customer base by finding and reaching out to the right people.

Navigating the world of go-to-market data is a complex task involving data aggregation, transformation, and automation. We believe better software enables teams to become more effective in creatively seeking and reaching out to the people that matter. We are building a new type of data workflow tool that allows any team to find the right data, craft custom workflows, and automate their go-to-market strategy. We like to think of Clay as a composable canvas that unlocks power and creativity for growth-focused teams.

Building a powerful yet easy-to-use tool that enables complex data aggregation, transformation, and automation is no easy feat. It takes a huge amount of creativity, discipline and attention to detail. It also takes a team of brilliant minds, collaborating, supporting and learning from each other.

At Clay, we hold two things to be true as we grow our team - hiring is more about the person and less about the description; diverse teams build the strongest, most meaningful products. We are committed to building a team that reflects these beliefs, and cannot wait to speak with you.

  • You are comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with a focus on agility and quick adaptation to change.
  • You are skilled in working across various teams to deliver high-quality products.
Working @ Clay

Based out of a central office on 5th Ave in Manhattan near Union Square. We're big on taking care of our team and always excited to hear different ideas that can help us to do this better.
  • Competitive salary and role trajectory. Roles, responsibilities, and comp grow as we do.
  • Health insurance. Fully funded, high quality health, dental & vision coverage.
  • Visa sponsorship. We get it - it's an arduous process, but we're not scared of it.
  • Flexible schedules and paid time off. We ask team members to take at least 2 weeks fully-disconnected per year, with a flexible vacation policy beyond that.
  • Mental health. We're currently building a plan to help you find coaches, mentors & mental-health services.
  • Annual company retreats. This past year we took our roadmap exploration to Costa Rica.
  • Personal comfort. Order whatever equipment you think will help you work more enjoyably.
