As an Account Executive at Exa, you will work with customers who need speed, intelligence, and accuracy in their workflows.

- Experience managing a full sales cycle, from lead generation to close
- Strong communication skills—you can tell a great story and sell a vision

- Comfort in a fast-moving, high-growth startup environment
