Administrative Business Operations

TLDR

You'll support the C-suite and broader team with operations, coordination, and scheduling in a fast-moving, high-growth startup environment.

At Exa, we're building a next-generation AI search engine—one that outperforms Google for power users. We help people find the information they can’t get anywhere else: https://exa.ai/websets

We’re an SF-based team of ~60 from Harvard, MIT, Google, Apple, etc. We recently raised a Series B from Benchmark, and we’re rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history.

Now, we’re looking for an in-person Administrative Business Operations lead to help our C-suite and team run smoothly from our San Francisco office.

About the Role

In the Administrative BizOps role at Exa, you’ll support both our C-suite and broader team with operations, coordination, and scheduling. This is a highly variable, high-trust role where new and unexpected tasks come up often — you’ll be the connective tissue between leadership, the team, and the physical office.

What You’ll Do

  • Own calendar management and scheduling for C-suite and key team members

  • Run day-to-day SF office operations (meeting rooms, guests, supplies, vendors, deliveries, office setup)

  • Continuously improve scheduling systems, workflows, and recurring processes

  • Support recruiting coordination, including interview scheduling and onsite logistics

  • Help coordinate team events, office moments, and offsites

  • Comfortable working with modern tools — bonus if you enjoy automating parts of your own role

  • Ad hoc tasks as they come — be ready for anything!

What You’ll Need

  • 2+ years of experience in operations or in a similar role

  • Excellent communication and organizational skills

  • Strong ownership and ability to operate with little direction

  • Enjoy juggling multiple workstreams and fast-changing priorities

  • Strong people instincts — you know when to step in, how to help, and when to stay out of the way

  • Comfortable in a fast-moving, high-growth startup environment

  • Based in or able to relocate/ commute to San Francisco

This is a full-time, in-person role in San Francisco. In addition to premium healthcare benefits (medical, dental, vision), we also offer fertility benefits and a monthly wellness stipend to all of our employees.

Exa develops a real-time AI search engine and web crawling API, tailored for users seeking to extract structured data from websites. Our platform is uniquely built from the ground up to support every AI application, leveraging high-performance infrastructure and advanced embedding models to push the limits of web search capabilities.
