Exa Business Operations at Exa involves building AI workflows and internal tooling to automate finance and operations processes. The role supports FinOps, manages AP and AR systems, and runs cross-functional projects to enable company growth.
Responsibilities
Put AI to work inside Exa — Find work that people are doing and AI should be. Build AI workflows and internal tooling that eliminate manual steps across finance and ops, and become the person the team comes to for what's worth automating and how.
Support FinOps and cost discipline — Help us understand and control what we spend. Track infrastructure and vendor costs, pull analysis that shows where the money is going, flag what looks off, and support the work to bring it down.
Build the systems behind AP and AR — Own the day-to-day mechanics of money moving in and out: vendor onboarding and payments, customer invoicing, billing accuracy, collections follow-up, and expense workflows. Turn the parts that live in someone's inbox into processes that run on their own.
Run cross-functional projects end to end — Take on the ambiguous work that doesn't belong to any one team and drive it from scoping to done.
Support the people who own the numbers — Partner with finance and leadership on planning inputs, budget-vs-actual tracking, and the analysis behind decisions.
Pick up what needs doing — This is an early team. Some of the highest-value work will be things nobody has written down yet.
Qualification
Exa is an equal opportunity employer
Required
3-6 years of experience in investment banking, management consulting, accounting, strategic finance, or business operations at a high-growth technology company
Genuinely AI-native — you already use LLMs and agents as leverage in your daily work and have built things with them.
A builder's instinct for process — when something breaks twice, you redesign it. When a task takes four hours every week, you make it run itself
Comfort with data — you can pull your own numbers, work confidently in spreadsheets, and don't need someone else to answer a question for you
Extremely high attention to detail — this role touches money moving in and out of the company. Small errors are expensive
High ownership and high tolerance for ambiguity — you take things from vague to done without being managed through it, and you're comfortable switching contexts several times a day
Clear communication — you can write a crisp update, chase an overdue invoice professionally, and explain a process to someone who has no context
