Ex Agency Recruiter
About Clera:
Clera is a fast-growing AI start-up reimagining how top talent finds their dream jobs. We’re already working with leading, VC-backed startups such as Mintlify, Luminai, and Windsurf - many in AI, all VC-backed. We believe recruitment needs to be talent-first to make it easy to get in touch with those companies, be coached in the journey and actually get hired.
Thousands of talents engage with Clera every week. We’ve connected many of them with companies where they’ve landed exciting new roles. With the traditional $600B headhunting industry ripe for AI-driven disruption, we are aiming to build a massive company, providing better outcomes for talents and companies. We’re at a pivotal moment—right before liftoff. Early enough that you’ll get meaningful ownership. Far enough that we’ve got a product, paying customers, and a team of A-players.
The Role:
We’re hiring an Employer Account Manager (Customer Success Manager) to own a portfolio of employer relationships and drive hiring outcomes end-to-end. You’ll be the day-to-day point person for clients after kickoff—keeping searches moving, ensuring alignment, and delivering a high-quality experience that leads to repeat business.
This is an individual contributor role with high ownership and clear, measurable outcomes.
