## Job description

**Who We Are**

Physical Intelligence is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world. We are a group of engineers, scientists, roboticists, and company builders developing foundation models and learning algorithms to power the robots of today and the physically-actuated devices of the future.

As the company scales, success increasingly depends not just on research excellence, but on strong business execution - across partnerships, operations, infrastructure, and deployment.

Success in this role looks like independently identifying the highest-leverage problems, structuring them into executable plans, and driving them to measurable outcomes with minimal founder involvement.

**The Team**

This role sits close to the founders and works cross-functionally with research, engineering, operations, finance, legal, and external partners. There is no single “lane”, the mandate is to add leverage wherever the company most needs it.

**In This Role You Will**

\- Own and execute cross-functional projects with high ambiguity and real business impact.

\- Drive data, compute, and infrastructure partnerships, from sourcing through negotiation and management.

\- Plug into deployment efforts: sourcing opportunities, structuring contracts, pricing, and operational setup.

\- Assist with and drive internal scaling initiatives such as office expansion, international operations, and company planning.

\- Support investor, board, and external communications including decks, analyses, and prep.

\- Act as an execution arm for founders and leaders, translating priorities into outcomes.

**What We Hope You’ll Bring**

\- Strong analytical and strategic instincts with a bias toward action.

\- Comfort operating independently in ambiguous environments.

\- Commercial mindset and basic financial fluency (contracts, pricing, tradeoffs).

\- Exceptional written and verbal communication.

\- Willingness to do anything, paired with strong prioritization instincts and comfort pushing back when work is low-leverage.

\- Strong π-fit: respect for research and engineering culture, curiosity, and intellectual humility.

**Bonus Points If You Have**

\- Background in consulting, venture capital, private equity, or finance.

\- Experience negotiating vendor, data, or infrastructure agreements.

\- Exposure to startups that have scaled quickly or inflected suddenly.

\- International operations or cross-border project experience.

  

_Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records._
