Paste one prompt into Claude with LeadOcean connected and size your fintech IT director list before you spend a single record. Connect the server at https://api.leadocean.io/mcp first. Setup is on the MCP page.
The prompt
Find IT directors at fintech companies.
1. Call leadocean_list_enum_values for industry and pick Financial Services.
2. Call leadocean_count_leads with jobFunction Information Technology,
jobLevel Director, industry Financial Services and keywords fintech.
3. Tell me the count and the filters you used.
4. Do not call leadocean_search_leads until I say go.What it resolves to
| Filter | Value |
|---|---|
| jobFunction | Information Technology |
| jobLevel | Director |
| industry | Financial Services |
| keywords | fintech |
There is no fintech industry value. Financial Services is the closest exact string, so the prompt adds keywords, which matches the word in the person's own profile text (headline, summary, skills). Enum values are exact strings, which is why step 1 looks them up.
How many match
45 mailable people matched on 2 October 2026. Filters: jobFunction Information Technology, jobLevel Director, industry Financial Services, keywords fintech.
Mailable means verified, catch_all_valid or catch_all, the count_leads default. The count is free. It is a profile match, so an IT director who never writes "fintech" in their profile is missed. Drop the keyword to widen the list, then narrow it again with words like payments or lending.
The facets show 16 of the 45 sit at companies with 51-200 employees, and 11 are in IN, the largest country.
What you get back
Search rows carry the fields below, plus name, email status and company domain. These are placeholder values, not real records.
| Title | Company size | Industry | Country |
|---|---|---|---|
| Director of IT | 51-200 | Financial Services | IN |
| IT Director | 11-50 | Financial Services | GB |
| Director of Information Technology | 1001-5000 | Financial Services | US |
Variations
- Add "only companies with employeeRange 201-500 and 501-1000" to reach scaled fintechs with a dedicated IT team.
- Swap the level line for "jobLevel VP" to reach the layer above the director.
- Change the keyword to "payments" and ask Claude to count again before searching.
