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 Cbacked 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.

Chief of Staff, Marketing @ Clay
What You’ll Do
- You’ll act as an extension of the Head of Marketing, helping turn strategy into execution across the entire function.
- You’ll run the operating system of the marketing team. This includes owning planning cadences, shaping quarterly priorities, and ensuring teams are aligned against the highest-leverage work. You’ll identify gaps, unblock teams, and push initiatives forward without needing perfect direction.
- You’ll lead high-impact, ambiguous projects that don’t neatly fit into a single function—whether that’s launching a new growth motion, improving how we connect product marketing to sales, or building new internal systems for tracking performance.
- **You’ll bring structure to chaos without hurting speed. **This could mean building dashboards that actually get used, improving how we track pipeline influence, or creating processes that help us move faster without adding unnecessary overhead.
- **You’ll partner closely with leaders across growth, product marketing, brand, community, and sales **to ensure everything we do is cohesive and compounds over time.
What You’ll Bring
- You’re a builder first. You don’t just recommend—you implement. You’re comfortable going from zero to one and figuring things out along the way.
- You have strong business judgment and can prioritize ruthlessly. You know how to separate what’s important from what’s just urgent.
- You’ve operated in high-growth environments where things change quickly, and you’re comfortable navigating ambiguity without losing momentum.
- You’re highly organized and detail-oriented, but you don’t get stuck in process. You know when to add structure and when to move fast.
- **You’re an excellent communicator. **You can distill complex ideas into clear, actionable plans and align stakeholders across different functions.
- You have a strong understanding of marketing—whether across growth, product marketing, or brand—and how it connects to revenue.
What Success Looks Like
- Within your first few months, the marketing team has clearer priorities, tighter execution, and stronger alignment across functions.
- High-impact projects that were previously stuck or undefined are now moving forward with momentum.
- We have better visibility into what’s working, what’s not, and where to invest next.
- Most importantly, marketing is driving more measurable impact on growth—across both self-serve and sales-led motions.
