claylabs - Account Executive (GTME - New Business)
Requirements
• 4+ years in a closing role (AE, senior AE, or sales leader) with a track record of carrying and exceeding quota • Proven ability to build pipeline, not just manage it • Experience closing new-logo deals in the $50K-$100K range with multiple stakeholders in a consultative, solutions-oriented selling motion • High business IQ: you can walk into a conversation with a company you've never sold to, quickly understand their GTM motion, and identify where Clay creates value. This is the single most important skill in the role • Creative and resourceful, whether that's finding clever ways to use AI tools in your own work or learning and pitching all of Clay’s exciting use cases • Experience with a formal sales methodology (we don't care which one, but you have a structured approach to running deals) • You're a strong communicator who can hold a room without dominating it • You're excited about contributing to a growing team, not just hitting your own number
Responsibilities
• Own and close net-new business end-to-end • Prospect into target accounts and build pipeline alongside managing inbound leads • Run tailored product evaluations and demos that connect Clay's capabilities to a prospect's specific workflows and pain points • Lead consultative discovery that helps prospects see the possibilities of Clay • Build business cases that win budget and internal champions • Work cross-functionally with product, engineering, services, and customer teams to shape solutions and stay sharp on what Clay can do • Help build our sales playbook, processes, and culture as we scale • Use AI creatively, whether to improve your workflows or that of your customers
Benefits
• The best GTM teams we work with don't run the same playbook forever. They ship new plays constantly, automate what's manual, and treat every part of their go-to-market as something that can be improved. We do the same internally, and as a GTME, you'll be immersed in that culture and bring those ideas directly into how you sell. • We believe we're building the future of what great salespeople look like in a post-AI world. You'll get a front-row seat to how the best GTM teams in tech actually operate, across every motion, segment, and vertical. You'll build relationships with revenue leaders at companies you admire and develop the pattern recognition that makes great GTM leaders. • If you don't fit the mold of a traditional account executive, you're welcome here. People from non-traditional backgrounds (founders, software engineers, former educators, product managers, and more!) have shaped our sales organization in meaningful ways.
