We’re producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles and robots to establish new paradigms in human-AI interaction. We’re not just seeking to change how our cars and robots work – we’re seeking to change the way we drive and interact with machines. At FF, we’re creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact. Your Role: We are looking for a leader who can reshape the way our company is strategically designed and operated through an AI-product mindset. The first responsibility of this role is not to "push AI adoption into a traditional organization" — it is the opposite: to treat the company itself as a product built on top of our AI capabilities, and to design its organizational structure, processes, staffing, and decision-making mechanisms around our core AI products. This role suits someone who combines AI transformation experience, product thinking, and operational instinct, and who has a clear point of view on what an AI-native company should look like. We are not looking to build a heavyweight traditional operating system — we are looking for someone who can use AI to drive change at the management layer and make the company itself the best showcase of our AI products. As a first responsibility-level role — you are not designing a process, you are designing how this company operates. Our in-house and external AI products are both your toolkit and the objects you are validating and refining. Direct collaboration with the founder, product, and engineering core — an extremely short decision chain. A genuine opportunity to redefine what a company can be with AI — not yet another AI project inside a traditional company Treats the company itself as a product, not an organization to be managed Genuinely AI Native — not just "comfortable using AI tools," but defaults to asking "can AI do this?" for every problem A conviction in staying lean: if one Agent can solve it, don't build a team for it Judgment that operates on the same wavelength as the founder — able to decide under ambiguity and own the outcome ## Responsibilities Designing the Company as an AI Product Guided by the company's "AI First" strategy, design the strategic roadmap, operating philosophy, organizational form, role structure, and overall collaboration model of the company's AI transformation — so that the way the company runs becomes a natural extension of our AI product capabilities. Identify which traditional businesses and functions can be replaced or restructured by AI products / Agents, and lead the transition from "human-driven processes" to "human + AI Agent driven processes". Work closely with AI Operations, Product, and Engineering teams to position internal company operations as the "first user" and validation ground for AI product planning Integration and Lightweight Redesign of Existing Systems Map the company's current business, product, organizational, and process landscape, and identify the parts that can be replaced, simplified, or consolidated by AI. Avoid stacking heavyweight management processes; prefer AI Agents, automation, and data-driven feedback loops over human coordination. Integrate the existing tool stack with the company's AI products — build on what's there rather than starting from scratch AI Transformation Framework and Cadence Partner with the founder and executive team to define the key decision-making framework at the company level, keeping strategy, business, product & technology, and organization in sync. Design a lightweight operating cadence (weekly / monthly / quarterly) anchored on data and AI-assisted decision-making, rather than replicating traditional management systems. Maintain equally clear judgment on "what not to do" and "what to delegate to AI" Basic Qualifications: - 15+ years of experience in product, strategy, or company-level operations, with at least 3 years in a core role at an AI / tech company during a 0-to-1 or 0-to-N stage - Bachelor’s or advanced degree in CS, Robotics, EE, or a closely related technical field. - Deep understanding of LLMs, AI Agents, and workflow automation — including their capability boundaries — with sound judgment on where AI should and should not be applied - Product mindset — able to treat "how the company operates" as a product problem to be defined, decomposed, and iterated on - Aversion to redundant process; commitment to minimum-necessary operations; proven track record of replacing traditional management activities with tools and automation - Able to engage directly with the founder, Head of Product, and Head of Engineering — and to translate and broker tradeoffs among them Preferred Qualifications: - Product or operations background in AI products — particularly Agents, Copilots, or automation-class products - Prior experience in a "company-building" or Chief of Staff type role within a small, high-density team - Familiarity with the domain our existing AI products operate in, with the ability to quickly form a view on the product-organization-market relationship - Startup experience, with a deep bias toward "lean" — capable of producing 50-person output with a 5-person Annual Salary Range: ($185,000 - $210,000 DOE), plus benefits and incentive plans ## Perks + Benefits - Healthcare + dental + vision benefits (Free for you/discounted for family) - 401(k) options - Casual dress code + relaxed work environment - Culturally diverse, progressive atmosphere Faraday Future is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, protected veteran status, disability, age, or other legally protected status. ## About Faraday Future ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Faraday Future is a U.S.-based Physical AI ecosystem company that designs and develops embodied AI robots and intelligent electric vehicles. - **Entity Type**: Public (NASDAQ: FFAI) - **Headquarters**: Gardena, California, United States - **Founded**: 2014 - **Founders**: YT Jia (Jia Yueting) ## Core Business - Primary industry/industries: Motor Vehicle Manufacturing, Embodied AI (EAI) Robotics, Intelligent Mobility - Target customers: B2B (enterprise security, inspection, guided services, education/research), B2C (luxury and mass-market EV buyers) - Mission or purpose statement: Empower people everywhere to live, move, connect, and breathe freely through AI innovation and technologies. ## Products & Services - **FF 91 2.0**: An ultra-luxury intelligent electric vehicle. - **FX Series (FX Super One, FX Aegis, FX Nova, FX Master, FX Master Mini, FX Navi)**: A line of upcoming AI vehicles and mobile platforms, with the FX Super One targeting first-half launch. - **EAI Humanoid & Bionic Robots**: Embodied AI robots for real-world commercial deployment at scale. - **EAI Automotive-focused Robots**: Robots integrated with automotive platforms. - **EAI Data Factory**: A closed-loop data foundation combining field observations with synthetic data models. - **EAI Brain & Open-Source & Open Platform**: An open-source AI robot toolkit built on foundation models, agents, and skills. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (highly volatile stock, recent reports indicate a $4.9B total funding amount across prior rounds, but current market cap is fluctuating; check latest for current figures). - **Key Metric**: Annual Revenue of approximately **$536.0K** (based on latest data), **$4.9B in total funding** from 23 prior funding rounds. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly specified in detail, but the company has raised significant venture and institutional capital.
