About this role
# About Exa
We raised a $250M Series C to build the search engine for AIs. Led by a16z, with existing investors Benchmark, Lightspeed, and YC doubling down, the round brings Exa's valuation to $2.2 billion.
Exa is building a search engine for the AI era. Our Search API currently powers Agents, Fortune 500s and AI labs as we transform an industry that hasn't been disrupted since the 90s. We're a largely SF-based team of ~100 from Harvard, MIT, Meta, Google Research, ex-founders & dropouts alike.
We are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history. We're high agency, low-ego, and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right.
We are looking for a Head of Marketing Operations to build and scale the operational engine behind our marketing team.
# About the Role
The Head of Marketing Operations builds the infrastructure that lets Exa marketing scale, and runs the operating system that keeps the team performing day to day. You will own the marketing tech stack, the data model, the lifecycle, and the analytics that turn marketing into a predictable pipeline engine the executive team can trust.
This is an AI-first role at an AI-first company. You won't just administer tools. You'll be a builder of systems, deploying AI-powered workflows that let a lean marketing team operate at massive scale. The right person is rigorous, opinionated about tooling, and energized by the operational problems most marketers avoid. You think about marketing the way a great operator thinks about a business: cadence, accountability, resource allocation, and clear measurement. You'll be the connective tissue between Marketing, Sales, and RevOps, making everyone around you faster.
This role is based in-person at our San Francisco HQ.
