Product Marketing, New Verticals
We're seeking a Product Marketer to build Clay's playbook for expanding into new verticals beyond our core B2B SaaS customer base. The role reports to Clay's Head of Product Marketing and is critical to diversifying Clay's revenue and building a more resilient customer base for the long term.

Over time, you'll bring those vertical playbooks back into Clay's core sales motion.
