Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.
About the Role
We're building at the frontier of robotics and AI, and we need a hands-on operator to turn strategy into reality.
What You'll Do
Partner with the CSO to develop and pressure-test company strategy (market positioning, business model, and the sequence of bets that get us to category leadership) and translate it into concrete plans the business can act on.
Own the market intelligence backbone: continuous, first-hand reads on robotics and AI, covering competitors, buyers, adjacent players, regulation, and the shifts that reshape the field.
Do the analysis yourself. Build the models, pull the data, write the memos, and frame the biggest calls (new markets, pricing, build-vs-partner, expansion, etc) so the leadership can decide with conviction.
Run key strategic initiatives end to end, owning them from thesis to shipped result, and pulling in the right people across the company to get there.
Drive the strategy cadence: the reviews, the materials, the follow-through, so decisions get made and don't stall.
Support the board and investor materials, and help sharpen how we tell the company's story to the market.
What We're Looking For
6+ years in strategy, corporate development, venture, or strategy consulting, ideally with time inside a startup, scale-up, or high-growth tech company where you owned outcomes, not just recommendations.
A genuine feel for deep-tech markets. You can go deep on robotics and AI, read where the technology and market are heading, and communicate credibly with everyone from engineers to investors.
Strong quantitative and modeling skills: you're fluent in the numbers and build the analysis yourself rather than outsourcing it.
Excellent writing. You can turn a messy problem into a crisp memo that moves a decision forward.
A bias to action. You've personally driven initiatives to a result and are comfortable operating with limited support and imperfect information.
Comfort operating close to leadership.
Nice to have
Experience in robotics, hardware, or applied AI.
A technical or engineering background.
Time spent on both the investing and operating sides of the table.
What We Offer
Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.
30+ paid days off, including 23 days of annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas–New Year shutdown).
Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care.
Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.
Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office.
Work at the frontier - collaborate daily with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts building the next generation of AI and humanoid robotics.
Real ownership - direct access to founding leadership, meaningful input on product direction, and the ability to drive key initiatives from day one.
