## 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.
