What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding GTM position at Clera?
About The Role
This is a build-from-zero GTM role at a seed-stage AI infrastructure company building graph-native context and memory infrastructure for AI agents. Think persistent memory, semantic search, temporal versioning, and entity resolution — purpose-built for modern AI workloads.
You won't be inheriting a playbook. You'll be writing it. GTM runs across three lanes — enterprise anchor deals, pilot programs, and PLG self-serve — and you'll own all three. You'll sit directly next to the CEO on deal strategy and be the first person held accountable to a revenue number.
The ICP is Directors of Engineering and Heads of AI at seed-to-Series D AI companies. There are roughly 1,000 addressable accounts in the Bay Area alone, active enterprise conversations are already open, and the product genuinely sells itself to anyone who sees it.

- Technical enough to hold credible conversations with Directors of Engineering and Heads of AI
- Experience managing GTM across multiple lanes (enterprise, pilots, and PLG) simultaneously
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to craft compelling messaging and value propositions
- Builder mentality — you create structure, not follow it
- Ability and willingness to work on-site in San Francisco
- Prior experience selling to AI engineering teams
- Background at a developer tools or infrastructure company
- Experience running PLG and enterprise motions in parallel
- Existing network in the Bay Area AI/ML ecosystem
