Company highlights — entirely product-led:

• World-Class Team: Founded by serial entrepreneurs (previous AI exit), former co-founders, and talent from Jane Street, Twitter, Stripe, Affirm, Bain, Goldman Sachs, and many more Sequoia-backed startups (plus IOI/ICPC backgrounds).

• Performance: Industry-leading win rate driven by a highly differentiated product.

• Market Validation: Consistently winning customers across all segments with over six-figure lands that lead to quick expansions.

• Viral Product: Interviews are shared with tens of thousands of viewers, fueling PLG, organic expansion, and daily inbound from Fortune 500s.

What You’ll Do

• Data reporting: Ensure clean, accurate data flows across marketing and sales and implement multi-touch attribution models that accurately assess marketing performance.

• AI-enabled orchestration: Leverage AI tools like Clay and other automation platforms to accelerate prospecting, enrichment, and campaign orchestration.

• Cross-functional enablement: Align with Growth, Sales, and Engineering on definitions, handoff processes, routing rules, and reporting.
