Account Executive

Get in as an Account Executive before the rocket ship takes off.

Clera is redefining how top talent gets hired. We've built an AI-powered talent agent that automates the work of traditional headhunters, delivering 10x better outcomes for both candidates and companies. We're backed by top-tier investors with a $3M pre-seed round, growing fast, and now looking for hungry Account Executives to help us scale revenue.

About Clera:
Clera is a fast-growing AI startup taking on the $600B headhunting industry. We already work with over 600 US startups, including leading VC-backed companies like Mintlify, Luminai, and Windsurf. Thousands of talents engage with Clera every week, and we've helped many of them land roles at some of the most exciting startups in tech. Our AI agent reaches passive talent directly through email and messaging, flipping the traditional recruiting model on its head. We've scaled from zero to over $1M ARR in roughly six months with 40% month-over-month growth and zero customer churn. This is a rocketship, and we're looking for people who want to be on it.
