The all-in-one, most intuitive, most affordable industrial robots. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
Owning how a strategy becomes reality. Taking an ambiguous, high-stakes mandate and standing up the program behind it; structuring the work, building the plan, managing internal and external partners, and driving it to a decision leadership can act on and a plan the organization can execute. It is a high-ownership, high-ambiguity role with direct CEO visibility, sitting at the intersection of manufacturing, corporate strategy, and program execution.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years leading cross-functional programs to executive decisions in manufacturing/operations, corporate strategy or BizOps at a hardware company, or management consulting with genuine industrial exposure
- Demonstrated ownership of a complex, ambiguous effort driven from strategy through to an executable plan
- Financial-modeling fluency: breakeven, CapEx, unit economics, and enough M&A literacy (EBITDA multiples) to own and pressure-test a make-vs-buy model
- Executive communication: structured written synthesis and board-quality presentations
- Vendor and consultant management, scoping and holding external partners to budget and deadline
- Comfort operating without a playbook, at startup pace, with direct executive exposure
More about this role
Standard Bots is developing the next generation of industrial robots—hardware that is powerful, affordable, and built for scalability. As we move rapidly from prototype to high-volume production, we require program management infrastructure that can keep pace. This role is integral to achieving that goal.
We are vertically integrating our core manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, finishing, and casting. This strategy is essential for maintaining the speed, resilience, and cost-efficiency of our robot production as we scale.
Note: This is a full-time, on-site role at our Glen Cove, NY manufacturing facility and HQ.
