- Build and refine lead scoring and segmentation logic to prioritize the highest-value accounts and contacts
- Automate manual GTM processes using Clay's native integrations, APIs, and webhooks, supplemented with lightweight scripting (Python/JavaScript) where needed
- Partner closely with sales and marketing to translate business requirements into working technical systems
- Monitor data quality, deliverability, and workflow performance, and continuously test and iterate to improve conversion rates
- Build reporting and dashboards to track pipeline generation, campaign performance, and system health
- Stay current on new GTM tools, enrichment providers, and automation techniques
Qualifications

- Experience integrating GTM tools with a CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot) and outbound sequencing platforms
- Working knowledge of APIs, webhooks, and basic scripting (Python, JavaScript, or similar) to automate workflows
- Comfortable working with messy or unstructured data and building processes to clean and structure it
- Experience working with financial, legal, or other complex datasets a plus
- Comfortable working independently and figuring things out without a detailed set of requirements
