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.

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.

Partner Sales Manager @ Clay

Clay’s partner ecosystem is a critical growth lever, not just as a sourcing channel, but as a force multiplier for pipeline creation, deal velocity, and enterprise credibility. As Clay continues to scale upmarket and expand its partner-led motion, we’re investing in dedicated Partner Sales Managers who will own the sales execution layer of our tech partner relationships.

This role sits at the intersection of Partnerships and Sales, with a clear mandate: drive partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline through consistent pipeline generation, structured co-sell motions, account mapping, joint execution, and more. You will be working closely with Clay’s GTM Engineering, GTM Ops, and Sales teams to help source opportunities from focus partners, accelerate in-flight deals, and turn partner sales into a repeatable revenue engine.

What you’ll do

Partnership Ownership

  • Contribute to the ongoing refinement of Clay’s enterprise co-sell frameworks and partner engagement model

Account Strategy & Co-sell Execution

  • Consistently pipeline generate by engaging partners in top target accounts, partnering closely with GTM Engineers on opportunity strategy and execution

  • Run structured account mapping and pipeline reviews to identify whitespace, multi-year expansion paths, and partner-led entry points across large accounts

  • Translate what works into scalable account mapping infrastructure, including tooling, playbooks, and repeatable workflows

  • Drive co-sell rigor and accountability across deal registration, partner engagement, follow-through, and pipeline hygiene

  • Drive enterprise-focused joint GTM efforts with partners, including co-hosted webinars, executive roundtables, and thought leadership aligned to priority industries and strategic accounts

Cross-functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with GTM Ops, Solutions Engineering, Legal, and Sales Leadership on deal routing, attribution, forecasting, and partner-assisted POCs

  • Support the evolution of partner-led sales motions, including emerging reseller or partner-led opportunities for lower-touch segments

  • Represent the partner voice internally, surfacing patterns, feedback, and opportunities to improve Clay’s partner motion and sales process

Who you are

  • 4–7+ years of experience in sales, B2B partnerships, business development, or ecosystem roles at a B2B SaaS company

  • Hands-on experience working with partners: SIs, cloud, tech, especially in enterprise co-sell, referral, or partner-sourced revenue motions

  • Strong familiarity with pipeline generation, pipeline reviews, and deal collaboration between internal sales teams and external partners

  • Comfortable operating in cross-functional environments, partnering closely with Sales, GTM Ops, Legal, and Solutions teams

  • Sales-minded and outcomes-oriented, with comfort being measured on pipeline creation, deal influence, and revenue impact

  • Able to operate with structure and rigor while building trust-based, high-leverage partner relationships

  • Comfortable engaging at the executive level with partners and internal sales leadership

  • Clear communicator with strong judgment in high-stakes, high-visibility sales situations
