## Job description

## About AMI

We are building a new breed of AI systems that (1) understand the real world, (2) have persistent memory, (3) can reason and plan, and (4) are controllable and safe. We are a team of scientists and engineers building frontier world model-based AI. We combine the scientific rigor of a top-tier research institute with focus on engineering excellence and execution. We are a global company, with offices in Paris, Montreal, New York, and Singapore. Come build the future of AI with us! AMI Labs is a frontier AI research startup building world models, with teams across four global locations. Our Montreal office has grown to the point where it needs someone dedicated to running it, and we’re looking for an organized, resourceful Office Manager & Executive Assistant to make it happen while supporting one of our co-founders. This is a ground-floor role with a broad remit: managing a busy calendar, coordinating meetings and travel, welcoming visitors, and building the office from the ground up. There’s no established playbook. You’ll create the systems and set the standard for how our Montreal office runs. We’re a startup, so we need someone scrappy who’s happy to figure things out, roll up their sleeves, and take pride in getting the details right. No task is too small when it helps the team do its best work.

## What you’ll do

Support a co-founder

- Manage their calendar, prioritize requests, and coordinate meetings across time zones.
- Manage and coordinate external engagement requests, including speaking opportunities, event participation, and meetings with external partners.
- Arrange travel, prepare itineraries, manage expenses, and handle meeting logistics.
- Help prepare meeting materials, track action items, and follow up on commitments.
- Handle sensitive information with discretion and sound judgment.

Set up and run the Montreal office

- Coordinate office setup, including supplies, equipment, and service providers.
- Own day-to-day office operations and relationships with building management, vendors, and contractors.
- Keep the office welcoming, organized, and ready for the team, from meeting rooms to snacks, coffee, and everyday supplies.
- Coordinate maintenance and repairs, and resolve issues quickly so they don’t become distractions.

Help the team work smoothly

- Organize team meetings, lunches, events, and visits from colleagues and guests.
- Welcome candidates, visitors, and new hires, ensuring a thoughtful experience.
- Coordinate with colleagues across our global offices on scheduling, onboarding, and operational needs.
- Build simple processes that keep things running well as the office grows.
- Support on-site events, internal communications, and workplace programs to help build our internal culture

## What you’ll bring

- Experience in office management, executive support, or a similarly varied operational role.
- Strong organizational skills and reliable follow-through.
- The ability to prioritize competing requests and adapt when plans change.
- Clear communication, good judgment, and discretion.
- A practical, service-minded approach: you notice what needs doing and take ownership.
- A scrappy, figure-it-out mindset. You’re comfortable working independently in a startup where responsibilities evolve and not everything has a process yet.
- Confidence using calendar, document, and communication tools.

What success looks like Montreal feels like a real home base for the team, with smooth systems you built yourself. The co-founder’s time is well managed, the office runs smoothly, and the team can focus on its work. Whether you’re coordinating an important meeting or restocking the kitchen, you bring the same care, initiative, and reliability.

## About AMI

## Core Business
- Primary industry: AI research and development, with a focus on world models for real-world understanding.
- Target customers: B2B enterprises in industrial process control, automation, robotics, healthcare, and wearable devices; also partners with industry and academic researchers.
- Mission: “Real intelligence does not start in language. It starts in the world.” – Build AI systems that are reliable, controllable, and safe by learning abstract representations of real-world sensor data.

## Products & Services
- **World Models**: Action-conditioned AI models that learn abstract representations of continuous, high-dimensional sensor data (e.g., cameras, sensors) and predict consequences of actions. Used for planning, control, and safety in industrial automation, robotics, healthcare, and wearables.
- **Research & Open Source**: Publishes findings openly and contributes to the global academic community; aims to advance AI research with a focus on reliability and safety.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company).
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $1.03B USD (~€890M) in a single seed round (closed February 2026).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Co-led by Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Hiro Capital, HV Capital, and Bezos Expeditions. Strategic backers include Toyota Ventures, New Legacy Ventures, Temasek, SBVA, NVIDIA, Mark Cuban, Samsung, Publicis Groupe, Xavier Niel, Eric Schmidt, and others.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount of 54 employees (as of mid-2026) with monthly growth of +24.6%. Recruiting across multiple continents (Paris, New York, Montreal, Singapore). Talented team sourced from Meta, ByteDance, OpenAI, NYU, and others.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Founding Team**: Led by Yann LeCun (former Chief AI Scientist at Meta) and a globally distinguished group of scientists and engineers.
- **Unique Technical Approach**: Focuses on world models rather than generative language models, targeting reliability and safety for real-world applications.
- **Massive Seed Round**: $1.03B provides deep resources for long-term research and scaling without near-term revenue pressure.
- **Global Presence**: Operating from day one across four major AI hubs (Paris, NY, Montreal, Singapore) with a multicultural team.

## Strategic Focus
- Advance world model research and develop applications where safety and controllability are critical.
- Build partnerships with industry and product developers while maintaining open publications and open-source contributions.
- Scale the team rapidly across research, engineering, and operations.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Frontier AI research lab with a mission-driven focus on real-world intelligence; emphasis on open science and collaboration.
- **Remote/Hybrid/Office**: Hybrid presence in four global locations; likely flexible given the distributed setup.
- **Notable Perks**: Work alongside world-renowned researchers (Yann LeCun, Pascale Fung, Saining Xie), access to massive compute and funding, opportunity to shape a new paradigm in AI.
- **Engineering Culture**: Strong research-to-engineering pipeline; roles span world models, infrastructure, and applied AI.
