Thinking Machines Lab's mission is to empower humanity through advancing collaborative general intelligence. We're building a future where everyone has access to the knowledge and tools to make AI work for their unique needs and goals.
We are scientists, engineers, and builders who’ve created some of the most widely used AI products, including ChatGPT and Character.ai, open-weights models like Mistral, as well as popular open source projects like PyTorch, OpenAI Gym, Fairseq, and Segment Anything.
We're hiring an Executive Business Partner to support several technical leaders out of our New York office. You will help our team stay focused and organized, managing personal logistics and any tasks that might fall through the cracks. You'll also be the operational lead for our NYC office — coordinating with other locations, planning team events, and managing travel and schedules.
This is a non-traditional EA role, requiring creativity in adapting to different people’s work styles and the new challenges that emerge at a fast-moving startup. As the senior operations person in NYC, this role entails real autonomy in making decisions without tight supervision.

- Track projects and commitments so nothing falls through the cracks
Minimum qualifications:
- 4+ years of executive or administrative support experience, ideally in AI labs or tech startups

Preferred qualifications:
- Track record supporting a diverse team, adapting assistance and communication styles to individual needs
- Experience managing a satellite office and coordinating across time zones

- Location: This role is based in New York City, NY.
- Compensation: Depending on background, skills and experience, the expected annual salary range for this position is $200,000 - $250,000 USD.
