About the role
Leap is our fast track for sharp generalists who want to build something meaningful at the frontier of industrial AI Many of our best people come from generalist backgrounds, e.g., founded sth on their own, worked in consulting, finance, or high-growth tech. They've seen what great looks like and at some point, decided they want real ownership and impact over outcomes instead of watching from the sidelines. When you want to be a builder, this program is for you. We're hiring 5+ special roles across our commercial and product teams. You bring the toolkit, we give you ownership, resources, and a playground to build. Generalist means you're not easily boxed into one function or don't yet know where you want to specialize. You've operated across strategy, operations, sales, commercial, product, tech, or all of the above. Some of you have done that by building your own company or starting an initiative. Others have done it within high-performance environments like strategy consulting, venture capital, or finance. You learned to pick up new domains fast, structure hard problems, and deliver under pressure. Now you want to use those skills to build something meaningful with real ownership to make it work.
