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.
