## About the role

In the EA 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 they're looking for

- 2+ years of experience in operations or in a similar role
- Excellent communication and organizational skills - you can engage comfortably with leadership, candidates, investors, and partners
- 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
