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

We're a German founding team that just raised a $3M pre-seed round from top-tier investors and we're now looking for ambitious Account Executives from the DACH region to join us in San Francisco. We'll fly you out, cover your visa sponsorship, and bring you directly into the center of the action.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sell into the US startup ecosystem from day one, working alongside a German founding team that's already built serious traction in the market.

About Clera

Clera is a fast-growing AI startup taking on the $600B headhunting industry. 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 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.
