Own the ARC talent engine by turning market intelligence into rapid, precise sourcing and a thriving external community for Clay and its customers.

• Map the Constellation: Activation & Talent Intelligence
• Build and own Clay's talent intelligence infrastructure: market mapping, exec-level relationship programming, and always-on signal monitoring across our highest-priority talent segments
• Design the touchpoints, rituals, and outreach sequences that keep Clay's talent radar warm. When a role opens, we already know exactly who we'd want in it
• Develop proactive, exec search-style engagement strategies at scale.
• Own the system of record for Clay's talent constellation — who they are, where they are, and what would make them move (or at least pick up the phone!)
• Bring Intelligence to Every Search: Research & Sourcing
• Translate talent intelligence into activation: take what we know about the market and turn it into a sourcing motion that's faster and more precise than any other sourcing motion out there.
• Build Clay-native sourcing workflows using our own product — enrichment, signal tracking, network activation, personalized outreach, and make Clay for Recruiting a lived practice.
• Own and evolve our Referral Jam program, turning warm networks into a structured, repeatable, and genuinely fun sourcing channel.

• Requirements: 10+ years in talent acquisition, executive search, venture capital, or a senior recruiting function with meaningful ownership of sourcing strategy
• Demonstrated experience building proactive talent programs — market mapping, exec relationship management, talent networks
• Fluency with modern sourcing tooling and data enrichment; hands-on experience with Clay or similar platforms is a plus
• Experience designing referral programs, talent communities, or network-based sourcing at scale
• Prior experience building a function or team from scratch
• Systems thinker who can hold the strategic vision and the operational detail at the same time
• Genuinely curious about the intersection of product, data, and the craft of finding exceptional people
• Wonderful, empathetic, and inspiring people leader
• Exceptional relationship builder: as comfortable with a quiet one-on-one with a passive exec as you are running large events and speaking on panels
• Comfortable with ambiguity. What we’re building really doesn’t exist yet!

• Benefits: All employees can work for free with world-class coaches who specialize in creativity, management, and more.
