ABOUT Clearly AI
Most security teams review what they can, triaging a backlog by urgency and headcount while products ship without review. Clearly AI is the continuous threat modeling platform that gives security, privacy, and GRC teams the capacity to cover more, with accurate, source-cited assessments that enterprise teams trust.
We're live with Fortune 500s and global brands including Rivian, Ericsson, HID Global, PayPal, and others. We've reviewed thousands of security-critical products, from badge scanners to stablecoin platforms to autonomous driving features.
Backed by Y Combinator, Basis Set Ventures, Crosspoint Capital, Argon Ventures, and Ritual Capital. Selected as a Top 10 Finalist for the RSAC 2026 Innovation Sandbox Contest. Advised by former CISOs of Disney, Costco, Amplitude, Chevron, the former CEO of Reddit, and the former CPO of Brex.
We are early. We are deeply technical. We are building alongside real practitioners, and we want someone who can speak their language to help us reach more of them.
Location
Seattle/SFO/Bend, OR preferred, remote OK. We meet in person 1-2x per quarter, and this role will travel for industry conferences and events. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for visa sponsorship now or in the future.
Why this role exists
Our buyers are security, AppSec, GRC, and privacy leaders at Fortune 500s and large enterprises. They're busy, skeptical, and hear from a dozen vendors a week. Reaching them takes someone who can:
Research an account deeply enough to know where security reviews are breaking down and how to navigate that organization in a sales and customer context
Engage senior security leaders with relevant, credible outreach instead of volume
Turn event conversations, inbound interest, and target account engagement into qualified meetings
Hand off opportunities to sales with the context and account research needed to move quickly
This role exists to build a predictable pipeline of qualified enterprise opportunities and to sharpen how we go to market along the way.

What this role is not
Not a high-volume, spray-and-pray SDR seat
Not a closing role; you'll hand qualified opportunities to sales to carry forward
Not a marketing campaign manager, though you'll work closely within the Marketing organization
Not a role where you wait for leads to show up
