About the Role
Revenue Systems & Technology at Exa is about building the operational backbone that powers our entire GTM engine. You'll architect and build Exa's revenue technology stack from the ground up, owning the architecture end-to-end and working closely with GTM teams to turn a greenfield stack into the system that carries Exa through scaling and beyond. This is a builder seat focused on AI-native systems, not a Salesforce-admin role.
Responsibilities
- Architect and ship Exa's end-to-end revenue tech stack: CRM (Salesforce), sales engagement, customer success, CPQ/billing, forecasting, conversational intelligence — unified by one extensible data layer.
- Integrate the marketing ops (MOPS) stack into the revenue layer for pipeline tracking and intent scoring.
- Own the CRM end-to-end: object model, automation, approval workflows, pipeline configuration, forecasting methodology, data hygiene.
- Deploy AI agents across the customer journey: lead routing, deal scoring, next-best-action, real-time pipeline risk detection, renewal and expansion signals.
- Build the infrastructure that lets those agents run reliably at scale: structured data pipelines, event-driven triggers, API orchestration, feedback loops.
- Own build-vs-buy decisions, defaulting to open, composable platforms and adding a middleware layer for clean tool integration.
- Maintain a canonical data model across every GTM system for consistent analytics, reporting, and agent operations.
- Stand up forecasting and pipeline analytics: stage velocity, conversion, segment health, and leading indicators for business reviews and board reporting.
- Build dashboards for Revenue Leadership providing real-time visibility into pipeline, forecast trajectory, and customer health.
- Collaborate in building out the Revenue Systems team over time.
Requirements
- Architected revenue systems end-to-end (sales ops, rev ops, or GTM systems) at high-growth B2B companies — 10+ years, with 5+ owning the stack yourself.
- Deep Salesforce experience: built instances from scratch and scaled them through hypergrowth, thinking in objects, relationships, and automation rules.
- Hands-on integration experience with the full GTM stack: CRM, MOPS (Marketo/HubSpot), SEP (Outreach/Salesloft), CSP (Gainsight), CPQ, forecasting (Clari/BoostUp), conversational intelligence (Gong/Chorus).
- Experience building for extensibility, data integrity, and composability, with strong opinions on canonical data models and build vs. buy decisions.
- Designed and deployed AI-powered, agentic workflows inside GTM systems, architecting custom agent-driven processes.
- Comfortable as both architect and builder in a high-velocity startup with shifting priorities.
- Experience building GTM systems for companies selling developer tools, APIs, or data infrastructure to engineering-led buyers (Bonus).
- Experience supporting both product-led growth and enterprise sales within a single architecture (Bonus).
- Knowledge of consumption- or usage-based billing and its complexities (Bonus).
- Experience building and scaling revenue systems infrastructure through an IPO or major liquidity event (Bonus).
