Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week.

In 2026, we raised a $115M Series D at $7.1B Valuation led by Wellington — and are on track to cross $200M in revenue this quarter. We also launched a $1M Scholarship fund for GTME Education.

### Enterprise Growth Strategist @ Clay

As one of Clay’s Enterprise Growth Strategists, you’ll partner with some of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in the world (think Intercom, Verkada, Anthropic) to **define, scale, and continuously expand their Clay strategy.**

You’ll work directly with senior GTM leaders to:

- Map their growth priorities
- Translate those into actionable Clay use cases
- Expand Clay into new teams and workflows
- Shape the roadmap of both their GTM engine *and* Clay itself

You are not just supporting customers, you’re a **strategic business partner**, trusted advisor, and internal product voice.

### What You’ll Do

- **Onboard with velocity & vision:** Guide customers to their first “aha” moment in Clay, ensuring fast time-to-value while positioning Clay as a long-term strategic lever.
- **Be a growth partner:** Act as an extension of our customers’ GTM teams by co-creating new plays, uncovering fresh use cases, and helping them stay ahead of their competitors.
- **Drive ongoing adoption & expansion:** Continuously identify opportunities for Clay across sales, revops, marketing, and CX, expanding Clay’s footprint within the org.
- **Shape renewal outcomes:** By driving outsized value, ensure every customer sees Clay as indispensable, leading to strong renewals and multi-team expansions.
- **Influence our roadmap:** Synthesize patterns from enterprise accounts and collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Design to bring customer-driven innovation to Clay.
- **Build new programs from scratch:** Design scalable frameworks, playbooks, and initiatives for future Enterprise customers.

### What You’ll Bring

This role is for someone who wants to **sit at the intersection of customer strategy, product vision, and GTM innovation** and help some of the fastest-growing companies in the world find their edge with Clay.

- **Strategic, product-minded thinking:** You don’t just solve today’s problem: you see around corners, help customers envision what’s next, and connect their roadmap to ours.
- **Deep GTM fluency:** You’ve lived in B2B SaaS and can speak the language of revops, sales, and marketing leaders. Bonus if you’ve held an in-house GTM operator role.
- **Customer obsession with business savvy:** You’ve worked directly with customers (not just managed accounts) and you know how to build trust, challenge thinking, and deliver impact.
- **Builder DNA:** You thrive in ambiguity, love creating structure where none exists, and get energy from designing processes and teams from 0 → 1.
- **Passion for Clay:** You believe in our mission and are excited to evangelize Clay as if it were your own product.
