Job description

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.

• Read about us in the NYT, Forbes, First Round Review, and more.

Growth Creative Producer

We're looking for a Growth Creative Producer to sit inside our growth team and make ads people remember.

This role has one job: turn our ads machine into something that works. That means performance creative that explains Clay clearly, gets the product into more customers' hands, and challenges what "good" looks like in performance advertising.

This is a 0 to 1 role. There is no existing playbook and no rules for what good looks like here. We're looking for someone who wants to push the limits and define that themselves.

This is a full-time role. You'll be based in San Francisco and report into a team in New York.

What You'll Do

• Make performance creative that works. Concept, produce, and ship ads across paid channels. You own the creative from idea to delivery.

• Explain the product. Turn what Clay does into ads that are clear and memorable.

• Know the landscape. Track what's working in ads and what isn't. Bring inspiration, references, and new ad formats to the team without being asked.

• Challenge the status quo. Test formats and ideas outside the standard performance playbook.

• Communicate constantly. You'll be in San Francisco with your team in New York. Proactive updates and clear handoffs keep this working.

What You'll Bring

• Full stack creative skills. You can shoot, produce, and edit. You won't be asked to edit much, but you should know how.

• An obsession with ads. You have strong opinions about why one ad works and another doesn't.

• Media literacy. You're deep in the startup world and fluent in what's happening across media and technology.

• A performance mindset. You care about creative that converts.

• Over communication. You share early and often.

Nice to Haves

• Experience making paid creative for a startup or high-growth company.

• A portfolio of ads or short-form work you're proud of.

• Hands-on experience with AI production tools.

• Time on a growth or performance marketing team.
