Key skills for this role
We're looking for an experienced, dependable administrator who takes real pride in doing admin work exceptionally well. This role works closely with our founders, primarily supporting the CEO and co-founder, with bandwidth to help coordinate broader team meetings and travel.
The core of the role is simple to state and hard to do: maximize the team's productivity by organizing their time intelligently and anticipating what they'll need before they ask. You'll be the steward of the founders' calendars—managing complex scheduling, protecting time for the highest-impact meetings, coordinating travel and executive engagements, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
We move fast. Important meetings come up last minute, schedules get reshuffled, and travel often gets booked on short notice. You'll thrive here if you stay calm under pressure, manage many threads at once, and communicate clearly with everyone from founders to external VIPs. You'll quickly get up to speed on the many external players we work with—partners, investors, customers, candidates—and develop judgment about how to prioritize them across a given day or week. There are no rigid rules to follow here; priorities are ambiguous and constantly in flux, and you're comfortable with that.
This role is about leverage. You'll keep the founders on time, prepared, focused, and executing against what matters most. You'll also own a range of administrative, operational, and outbound tasks so that important details never fall through. Above all, we're looking for someone reliable, with strong judgment, who learns quickly and does what they say they'll do.

At Generalist, we are on a mission to make general-purpose robots a reality. We believe the industries and homes of the future will depend on humans and machines working together in new ways. Robots can help us build more and get more done.
We build embodied foundation models, starting with a focus on dexterity. This requires advancing the frontiers of data, models, and hardware, to enable robots to intelligently interact with the physical world.
The company embraces both large-scale AI and robotics as core to its DNA. Our team of researchers, roboticists, and company builders come from OpenAI, Boston Dynamics, Google DeepMind, and other frontier labs—with a track record of shipping AI breakthroughs. Before Generalist, we pioneered large embodied multimodal models and vision-language-action models (PaLM-E, RT-2 , Gemini Robotics ), launched and scaled ChatGPT and GPT-4 to hundreds of millions of users, engineered the foundations of autonomous driving, built next-generation robots ( Atlas , Spot , Stretch ) and pushed the limits of what they can do (from parkour to manipulation , and testing robustness ).
We are an equal opportunity employer, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or other applicable legally protected characteristic.
