What are the responsibilities and job description for the Marketing & Events Lead position at Clera?
About The Role
We're a small, technical team in San Francisco building infrastructure for AI labs and enterprises — specifically a marketplace and platform that powers reinforcement learning (RL) environments, post-training data, and model evaluation at scale. Our team includes Olympiad medalists and published AI researchers, and we're on a mission to make the future of RL training open and accessible.
We're looking for a Marketing & Events Lead to own our brand voice, grow inbound interest, and build community around a highly technical product. This is a pivotal, early-stage role — you'll be the primary driver of how we tell our story to frontier AI labs, enterprises, RL researchers, and the broader developer ecosystem.
This is a fully on-site role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without employer-sponsored visa support.
What You'll Do
Required:
This role is on-site in San Francisco, CA. We're building a collaborative, in-person team culture. Remote or hybrid arrangements are not available for this position. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States; we are not able to provide visa sponsorship at this time.
