## About Clera

Stop applying to startups. Start getting introduced. Clera connects you directly with hiring managers at the companies you want to work for.

## About the role

##### About the Role

This is a high-ownership, early-stage role at an AI-powered talent marketplace, responsible for scaling the demand side of the business: the companies that hire through the platform. You will work directly alongside the founding team, with significant freedom to experiment and a clear path toward broader general management responsibility as the company grows.

##### What You'll Do

- Own company acquisition end to end, from prospecting and outreach through onboarding and activation of new clients.

- Build trusted relationships with founders, executives, and talent leaders at high-growth startups.

- Develop a deep understanding of each client's hiring needs and translate them into successful searches on the platform.

- Execute across multichannel GTM motions including cold calling, outbound sequences, referrals, partnerships, events, and content.

- Write and optimize email and LinkedIn campaigns that consistently generate qualified conversations.

- Rapidly experiment with new messaging, channels, customer segments, and commercial models.

- Turn successful experiments into documented, measurable, and repeatable growth processes.

- Collaborate with talent and product teams to improve matching quality, client experience, and marketplace liquidity.

- Track the full demand funnel, identify bottlenecks, and take ownership of improving conversion at every stage.

##### What We're Looking For

- 1 to 2 or more years of experience in a client-facing, commercial, consulting, operations, or growth role.

- Background in a demanding, fast-paced environment such as a venture-backed startup, management consulting, investment banking, or venture capital.

- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to establish credibility with founders and senior leaders.

- Strong relationship-building instincts and a willingness to initiate conversations and handle rejection without losing momentum.

- Highly analytical and experimental approach to growth, comfortable designing a GTM motion and personally executing the first hundred messages.

- Ability to create structure from ambiguity and solve unfamiliar problems independently.

- High ownership, urgency, and ambition suited to an early-stage environment.

- Visible, measurable professional achievements that demonstrate impact.

##### Location

On-site in San Francisco, CA, United States. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
