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.
