  • Have at least 1 year of people management experience.

  • Maintain a high-level perspective beyond one's immediate domain and contribute to achieving the association's overall goals.

  • Manage sites and facilities, including facility operations, site setup, business continuity planning, disaster preparedness, robot delivery and safety control, and warehouse management.
  • Manage information, including information security and health and safety.
  • Communicate directly with executive management and other departments and provide direction across the assigned domain.
  • Help transition the operational structure to a core team of full-time staff, connect and unify General Affairs functions, and potentially lead the entire General Affairs domain.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience setting up and driving broad administrative operations, such as serving as the sole General Affairs or back-office professional in a startup.
  • Experience in executive secretarial support and corporate governance, including running board and general assembly meetings, supporting board members and committees, and hosting VIPs.
  • Experience in facility management, site setup, equipment management, business continuity planning, disaster preparedness, safety control, purchasing, or procurement.
  • Experience managing secretarial or administrative operations at general incorporated associations, industry associations, or academic societies.
  • Cross-functional experience in back-office domains beyond General Affairs, such as human resources, labor administration, or accounting.
  • Interest in AI, robotics, and deep-tech sectors.
  • Experience improving processes and managing projects using member-management systems and software-as-a-service tools.
  • English language ability for collaboration with overseas companies and research institutions.

About the Company

AI Robot Association

Open robotics research association

AI Robot Association is best understood as an open research association working on foundation models for robotics. Researchers and engineers build datasets, training systems, evaluation methods, and embodied artificial-intelligence software. Its initiative brings together motion data, vision-language-action research, model development, and humanoid-robot experimentation. Roles may span machine learning, robotics, data engineering, simulation, infrastructure, research operations, and partnerships. The entity has a limited public footprint, so the profile stays close to its official research and recruiting materials.
