Clara

Communications Lead

At Clara, in an effort to modernize the massively antiquated and frustratingly inefficient mortgage process, we’re re-imagining a $10 trillion industry. Our mission is to completely reimagine the lending experience to serve our customers: make it empathetic, transparent, reliable and data-driven.

In this role, you’ll work closely with our CEO and the executive team to build and shape Clara’s communication strategy and roadmap. You should love to write, take a ton of pride in the work you create, and be deeply motivated by the challenge of communicating complex subjects to a broad audience. You’ll work as part of a collaborative, smart, and highly-driven team, and you will play a strategic role in shaping the tone and content of our product experience, as well as the messaging of the Clara brand.
