PE PARTNERSHIPS @CLAY Clay is building the modern GTM operating system – helping companies transform how they source, enrich, and activate data across sales, marketing, and revenue operations. As Clay's adoption expands across Private Equity firms and their portfolios, we're investing in a dedicated role to build and scale our PE partnerships motion end-to-end. This is not a traditional sales role and not a 1:1 customer success role – it's a programs and systems role, focused on building repeatable infrastructure that allows Clay to scale across entire portfolios while staying credible in executive and board-level conversations. You'll take the foundation built by our Partnerships, GTM Engineering, and Enterprise teams and turn it into a repeatable PE playbook. Depending on background, you may lean more heavily into one track, but success requires tight integration across both. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring a foundational Partnerships hire to build Clay's PE motion from the ground up – from firm entry to portfolio activation to proving value at scale. This role spans two tightly connected tracks, and we're hiring across both 1. Private Equity Business Development — shaping how Clay shows up to PE firms, building relationships with Operating Partners and Value Creation teams, and converting interest into pilots and portfolio entry 2. Portfolio Value Creation & Activation — designing scalable programs that drive Clay adoption, measurable GTM impact, and portfolio-wide expansion WHAT YOU’LL DO Private Equity Business Development How Clay enters PE firms and initiates portfolio motion - Map and prioritize the PE landscape – firms, funds, and portfolios aligned with Clay's GTM value - Build relationships with Operating Partners and Value Creation teams to understand fund priorities and timing - Develop Clay's PE-specific narrative and materials: decks, pilot frameworks, ROI overviews - Design portfolio entry models (pilots, GTM diagnostics, enablement cohorts) - Convert PE relationships into structured engagement and portfolio introductions - Coordinate with GTM Engineering, Enterprise, RevOps, and Legal on pilots and commercial terms Portfolio Value Creation & Activation How Clay delivers, measures, and scales value across portfolios - Design and execute scaled activation programs (webinars, cohorts, office hours, workshops) that reach many portfolio companies at once - Build repeatable infrastructure that drives adoption with minimal 1:1 touch - Define portfolio-level success metrics tied to PE value creation (adoption, time-to-value, expansion, ARR growth, GTM efficiency) - Convert outcomes into executive-ready narratives: ROI summaries, impact reports, board-level readouts - Gather structured feedback and represent PE needs back to Product, Partnerships, and GTM teams   WHAT YOU'LL BRING - Have 6–10+ years of experience in B2B SaaS partnerships, program management, GTM strategy, value creation, consulting, or revenue operations - Have experience working with or presenting to Private Equity Operating Partners, Value Creation teams, or portfolio executives - Enjoy building scalable programs and systems, not bespoke 1:1 solutions - Possess strong systems thinking and comfort designing workflows that reduce manual work - Are fluent in translating technical capabilities into business and financial impact - Have a strong bias toward measuring what matters (adoption, ARR, efficiency, outcomes) - Are comfortable operating in ambiguity and building new motions from scratch - Communicate clearly and credibly with senior executives and internal stakeholders

PRODUCT DESIGN @ CLAY We believe that not enough design thinking has gone into the tools we use to build software. That means that most teams work across a clunky mix of tools and spreadsheets, stuck in monotonous cycles with lots of manual work. You will help us change that. As an early designer, you’ll get to apply a unique blend of design and product knowledge to re-imagine how working with data in Clay should, and could, feel. QUESTIONS WE'RE ASKING & EXPLORING - What are the best to deliver value to our customers and how could they impact our business? - How can we design a flexible architecture that scales across the features we need to develop to grow our business? - For example: how can we continue supporting people who want to configure individual enrichments, while also building out the infrastructure to run entire workflows automatically? - How can we onboard users around a specific use cases and then iteratively introduce them to new capabilities? - For example: if customers purchase a lower tier, how can we help them discover and understand how features in higher tiers might provide value? - How do we create abstractions and interfaces that are easy to understand for non-developers? - For example, how can we illustrate when actions in a workflow are happening in parallel vs. happening sequentially? - How do we let people move fluidly between the different parts of Clay’s product, creating a seamless experience that sparks delight? WHAT YOU'LL DO - Design & ship core features. Design and maintain core features and infrastructure. Given the size of the team, you will be working across the entire product and will have lots of responsibility. - Collaborate & learn. Partner with the rest of our team, communicate openly, give & receive thoughtful feedback, and learn from people who excel in their areas of expertise. - Take ownership. We're focused on building a high-trust, ownership focused environment where everyone aims to define what they think is most important to work on, and drive initiatives forward. - Interview users, analyze feedback, help prioritize the roadmap. Set up, run, and synthesize learnings from user research studies to help inform what use cases and improvements we should focus on. - Design & prototype novel interfaces. You'll rethink how we can make certain aspects of building software more intuitive to users, which requires you to deeply understand what building software looks like today. This could involve quickly building lightweight prototypes to explore novel interaction patterns that make building software efficient and intuitive. WHAT YOU'LL BRING - Clear design process. You can identify the right problems to solve, consider multiple solutions, and speak intelligently about tradeoffs. You develop personal and shared processes in service of a shared higher-level goal, not just for the sake of having a process. - Excellent communication & collaboration. You’re able to consider different levels of abstraction so your ideas land with your audience. You default to visual communication, but also have excellent verbal and written communication skills. You’re organized and comfortable with both synchronous and asynchronous communication. - Systems thinking. You can break down complex problems and expose simple interfaces for accomplishing difficult tasks. You see patterns that repeat across the product and are able to abstract them into common interactions. For example, if we auto-fill the best values into certain fields in the product, how can we adapt the same functionality across contexts into the rest of the product? - Ability to deliver pixel-perfect designs. You care about coming back to something again and again until "it feels right", and you inspire your engineering partners to have the same level of care. - Thinking in interactions, not static screens. You embody the belief that software is not a set of static screens, but rather a responsive system that evolves over time. You deeply understand the nuances of designing for such a medium. - A customer-focused approach to design. You’re constantly empathizing with customers and checking back in to make sure we're delivering intuitive value. - 8+ years experience in a relevant role.

WHAT YOU'LL DO - Ship growth experiments. Partner with the growth PM and EM to design and deliver experiments across acquisition, activation, and retention — from quick A/B tests to larger feature bets — with a clear eye on measurable impact. - Drive evidence-informed prioritization. Synthesize quantitative signal (funnel data, experiment results) and qualitative insight (research, interviews) to continuously surface the highest-leverage opportunities — and make the case for investing in them. - Align stakeholders across EPD. Influence roadmap direction, communicate tradeoffs clearly, and build buy-in across PM, Engineering, and leadership for both short-term wins and longer-term systems investments. - Build systems that scale experimentation. Design flexible, reusable patterns (onboarding carousels, contextual tooltips, empty states, upgrade prompts) that enable the team — and the broader org — to run experiments without requiring bespoke design each time. - Enable other teams as a growth consultant. Step outside the pod to advise other teams on high-leverage growth moments, providing frameworks, patterns, and design guidance so they can execute with confidence on their own. WHAT YOU'LL BRING - Growth design experience. You've shipped experiments in a growth or product-led growth context — you understand funnels, activation loops, and how small UX changes can have outsized impact. - Evidence-informed approach. You're comfortable using both quant (analytics, A/B tests, funnels) and qual (research, interviews, usability studies) to shape decisions — but you know data informs judgment, not replaces it. - Consulting & influence skills. You can embed in a pod and step back to advise other teams. You're skilled at building alignment, influencing without authority, and helping others level up their design thinking. - Scalable systems mindset. You instinctively ask "how do we design this so the next experiment is easier?" You build patterns and frameworks, not just screens. - Clear design process. You can identify the right problems to solve, consider multiple solutions, and speak intelligently about tradeoffs. You develop process in service of a shared goal, not just for the sake of having one. - Excellent communication & collaboration. You default to visual communication, but also have strong verbal and written communication skills. You're comfortable with both synchronous and asynchronous work across a fast-moving team. - Pixel-perfect craft. You care about getting things right — and you inspire your engineering partners to have the same level of care. - 8–12+ years of experience, with a track record of operating at staff level or above — able to define your own scope, drive strategic direction, and mentor others. At least some of that time should be in a growth, PLG, or experimentation-focused role.
