What is The Wheel?

The Wheel is Clay's 15-month rotational program designed to create well-rounded tech leaders. Starting with an immersive in customer support, participants gain deep product expertise and firsthand understanding of user needs. This foundation then enables rotations across the company, where participants apply their skills to solve complex problems in marketing, sales, customer success and more.

Why should you apply?

We're looking for ambitious, technical new grads who are hungry to learn and grow in their careers. You should excel at problem-solving, quick learning, and clear communication.

The Wheel program offers a front-row seat to every aspect of building and scaling a rocket-ship startup. It's the perfect training ground for future entrepreneurs who want to learn how successful startups operate from the inside out.

What makes The Wheel different from other rotational programs?

Unlike traditional programs, The Wheel combines ongoing customer support with functional rotations, creating a unique blend of tactical expertise and strategic business exposure. Participants don't just observe—they actively contribute to key business initiatives while maintaining a strong connection to customer needs.

Program Overview

Phase 1: Foundation (Months 1-3)

Participants begin with a full-time immersion in customer support, establishing a robust foundation of product knowledge and customer insight. This dedicated period creates a deep understanding of user needs, challenges, and success patterns—essential expertise that becomes the cornerstone for future rotations.

Phase 2: Rotation (Months 4-15)

After the initial immersion, participants transition to spending 70% of their time in support while dedicating 30% to cross-functional rotations. These rotations aren't passive learning experiences; they're opportunities to infuse customer insights directly into business operations, creating a virtuous cycle where frontline knowledge enhances strategic initiatives.

FAQs

What happens after the program?

Graduates emerge as versatile leaders with deep product knowledge and broad business acumen. While specific post-program placement depends on business needs at the time of completion, participants develop skills valuable for various roles across the tech industry, from product management to customer success leadership.

Is prior technical experience required?

While formal technical education isn't mandatory, strong technical aptitude and the ability to quickly grasp complex concepts are essential. This can come from formal education, self-directed learning, or practical experience.

How is performance evaluated?

Through a combination of:

• Customer support metrics and satisfaction
• Project impact and deliverables
• Cross-functional team feedback
• Learning velocity and adaptation

Regular feedback and coaching sessions ensure continuous growth and development.
