Head of ARC (Activation, Research & Community)

Basis Set is on a mission to help organizations turn growth ideas into reality, leveraging creativity and AI. The Head of ARC will build and lead a team focused on talent intelligence and community engagement to redefine modern talent functions.

Responsibilities:

• Build and own Clay's talent intelligence infrastructure: a system of record, market mapping, exec-level relationship programming, and signal monitoring across our highest-priority talent segments
• Design the touch points, rituals, and outreach sequences that keep Clay's talent constellation warm. When a role opens, we already know exactly who we'd want in it, and they answer our text because we just invited them to a clay party last month, commented on their linkedin post last week, and in our reach out also asked them for a pic of their pup
• Develop proactive, exec search-style engagement strategies at scale
• Translate talent intelligence into activation: take what we know about the market and turn it into a sourcing motion that's faster and more precise than any other sourcing motion out there
• Build Clay-native sourcing workflows using our own product — enrichment, signal tracking, network activation, personalized outreach, and make Clay for Recruiting a lived practice
• Own and evolve our Referral Jam program, turning warm networks into a structured, repeatable, and genuinely fun sourcing channel
• Build a team of sourcers and researchers to support our scaling
• Design and run an external talent community that serves both Clay's pipeline and our customers’ hiring (especially for the GTME space)
• Build the matchmaking layer: how we connect the right people to the right opportunities inside and outside of Clay, at the right time
• Partner with GTM and customer-facing teams to make the talent community worth joining
