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.

Strategic Finance - FP&A @ ClayWe’re building a company that grows fast, moves fast, and makes decisions quickly, and Finance is a core part of that. The best FP&A functions at companies are inherently strategic, and lean on the “analysis” - they not only create a clear source of truth and planning cadence, but surface risk and opportunity early, and own what happens next with cross-functional partners.
We’re looking for an FP&A owner to build the financial systems, forecasting processes, and operating rhythms that help the business scale. You’ll partner closely with leaders across the company, own the financial model, and turn messy, ambiguous questions into clear decisions.
This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who loves combining analytical rigor with strong business judgment and creative thinking. We don't envision this role as simply a gatekeeper of the budget (in fact, we don’t have budgets). As our first FP&A hire, you'll help make decisions that shape the next phase of the business's investments and growth.
What You'll Do
Own the company’s financial model and forecasting process across revenue, expenses, headcount, and cash flow
Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual planning cycles, including budgeting, reforecasting, and long-range planning
Partner with leaders across the company to help them make better, faster decisions through data and financial insight
Build clear reporting for leadership and analyze business performance against plan, identifying the biggest risks and opportunities
Create scenario analyses and business cases for new investments, hiring plans, and strategic initiatives
Improve and automate FP&A processes, systems, and reporting as the company scales
What You'll Bring
5–10 years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, or a similarly analytical role
Strong financial modeling skills and experience owning budgeting, forecasting, and headcount planning
Ability to turn complex data into clear recommendations and communicate effectively with stakeholders across the company
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building processes from scratch in a fast-growing environment
Strong AI and automation skills to improve Clay’s learning and growth cadence
Low ego, high ownership, and excited to work cross-functionally
