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 https://clayrun.notion.site/Wall-of-Love-b243f2b67607438b9fad99341e6b8d47 — including Anthropic, Notion, Google, and Ramp — go to market with unique data, signals, and AI research.
In 2025, we raised a $100M Series C https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/business/dealbook/clay-ai-marketing-fundraise.htmlbacked by world-class investors including Sequoia, CapitalG, and First Round — and crossed $100M in revenue.
In 2026, we announced our second employee tender offer https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/business/dealbook/clay-start-up-tender-offers.html in 9 months at a new $5B valuation. We also launched a community equity round https://www.clay.com/blog/community-equity-offering, for our customers, agency partners, and club members.

Procurement @ Clay
Clay is a fast-growing AI GTM platform, and our vendor spend is scaling with us. As our first Procurement hire, your primary mandate is simple: get us better deals. You'll own our entire vendor negotiation lifecycle by identifying savings opportunities, running competitive sourcing events, and driving hard on commercial terms across our biggest contracts.
Beyond the deal work, you'll also build the infrastructure that lets us scale how we buy, work cross-functionally with key decision makers, and identify opportunities for savings and consolidation.
What you'll do
- Own Clay's vendor negotiation strategy across all major spend categories from SaaS, data partnerships, hosting, professional services, and marketing, with a clear mandate to drive year-over-year savings
- Conduct a full audit of existing vendor contracts to identify renegotiation opportunities, unfavorable terms, and upcoming renewals worth challenging
- Run competitive sourcing events (RFPs, RFQs, reverse auctions) to create leverage and benchmark pricing against market rates
- Lead all commercial negotiations end-to-end from opening anchor, to redline, to signature, with a focus on unit price, payment terms, caps, and exit rights
- Build and maintain a savings tracker showing realized savings, cost avoidance, and pipeline reported directly
