You’ll work closely with our data, sales, and design teams to understand customer workflows and run experiments to improve the user experience. One such example is a referral system that gives customers free Clay credits if they make a referral. The Growth team is also responsible for core components of the Clay product like new user onboarding and our billing system. This is an exciting opportunity to fuel Clay’s growth and measurably improve user engagement.
