About Humanoid

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.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

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.
