The Opportunity

Clera is the AI talent agent. We don't wait for applications—we go find the best people and get them hired at companies like Luminai, Windsurf, and Mintlify.

We went from $0 to $1M+ ARR in 6 months. 25,000 talents. 130+ companies. 40% month-over-month growth. We're just getting started on automating the $600B headhunting industry.

This is a chance to build the growth machine from scratch—cold email, paid acquisition, content, SEO, events—treating it all as a scientific process and owning real outcomes.

This role is for you if

• You've worked across growth and marketing—you don't need to have done all of it, but you're not afraid of any of it
• You think in funnels, run real experiments, and hate vanity metrics
• You want to build something, not maintain something
• You're comfortable owning outcomes, not just activities

What you might work on

We're looking for experience across as many growth/marketing areas as possible. You won't have worked on all of these, but here's what we love to see:

Growth Mindset & Analytics

• Treat every channel as a scientific process: hypotheses, A/B tests, metrics, iteration
• Set and track KPIs across the full funnel
• Collaborate with the team to turn product and recruiting insights into campaigns and experiments

Outbound & Demand Generation

• Own and scale cold email programs to companies and top talent
• Manage deliverability & infra: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain warming, sender reputation
• Plan, launch, and optimize paid acquisition (Meta, LinkedIn, potentially Google)

Content & Brand

• Produce content with velocity: blogs, email, LinkedIn, social, testimonials, case studies, product stories
• Distribute across organic social, newsletter, website, and lightweight paid
• Be the quality checker for brand voice, copy, and visual aesthetics

SEO & Organic

• Shape and execute SEO strategy: topic research, on-page optimization, internal linking

Partnerships & Events

• Manage marketing partnerships
• Organize online/offline events and drive real turnout

Clera is the agentic recruiting marketplace that activates the 75% of candidates who never apply. We're a fast-growing AI startup rethinking how top talent and companies find each other—solving the market's core problem of irrelevant matches through a talent-first approach. Rather than waiting for applications, our AI agents proactively connect passive candidates with leading companies like Luminai, Windsurf, and Mintlify, coaching them through the journey to actually get hired. We raised a large pre-seed round to tackle this challenge at scale.
