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.
- Our operating principles — including negative maintenance and non-attached action — guide our work. Read more about them here.

People Operations - Global Mobility and Scale
At Clay, People Operations is about creating the environment where people can do the best work of their careers. We're growing fast and expanding globally — and global mobility is at the center of how we make that work.
In this role, you'll own Clay's immigration and mobility function from the ground up. You'll manage the full lifecycle of U.S. visa cases, support employees relocating to and from our current offices in New York, San Francisco and London, and help build the infrastructure we need as we continue expanding globally. You'll partner closely with Legal, Finance, and the People team to navigate an evolving regulatory landscape while keeping the experience human and clear for the people going through it.
This is a hands-on role where you will balance operational rigor with good judgment and knowing when to add structure and when to stay flexible. Above all, you'll bring genuine care for the people you support and take full ownership of the work.
