Co-founded by Dr. Fei-Fei Li, Justin Johnson and Ben Mildenhall, the company is pioneering world models that perceive, generate, reason, and interact with virtual and physical worlds.\nThe company’s flagship product, Marble, transforms text, images, and video into fully navigable 3D worlds, unlocking applications across gaming, film, architecture, robotics, and immersive digital experiences. Backed by leading investors and with over $1B raised, World Labs is assembling a world-class team at the intersection of AI research and real-world deployment.\nRole Overview\nWorld Labs is seeking an Executive Business Partner (EBP) to support the CEO. This is a highly strategic and execution-oriented role designed to create leverage for one of the most influential leaders in AI.\nThe EBP will operate as a hybrid of Executive Assistant (EA) and Personal Assistant (PA), owning priorities end-to-end, anticipating needs, and ensuring seamless execution across the CEO’s professional landscape, including both World Labs and her ongoing commitments at Stanford.\nThis is a high-trust role for someone who brings excellent judgment and discretion, is highly detail-oriented without sacrificing speed, and knows how to create leverage in a fast-moving environment with significant internal and external demands. The ideal candidate will not only manage execution, but also act as a force multiplier, reducing cognitive load, driving alignment, and enabling the leadership to focus on the highest-impact priorities.\nKey Responsibilities\nOwn CEO’s calendar end to end: sequence priorities, protect focus time, anticipate conflicts, and exercise sound judgment on what requires her time and attention. Partner closely with the COO and EA/Ops team to coordinate schedules and priorities.\n\nWork very closely with the CEO’s Stanford team on competing conflicts and priorities to ensure a seamless schedule. Coordinate complex internal and external scheduling, including executive meetings, press, speaking engagements, and cross-functional initiatives.\n\nPlan and coordinate meetings, travels, events, and logistics end to end, ensuring the right preparation, context, and follow-through.\n\nBuild and maintain a lightweight operating system around priorities, open loops, follow-ups, and key commitments so important work continues moving forward.\n\nEnsure the CEO is prepared for key meetings with the right context, pre-reads, agendas, and understanding of who is in the room and what matters.\n\nCapture decisions and action items, proactively drive follow-through, and ensure nothing important gets lost between conversations.\n\nManage and triage CEO’s inbox, surfacing what requires her attention and drafting thoughtful responses when appropriate. Serve as a trusted partner in prioritization.\n\nPersonal Assistance: Provide thoughtful personal support when needed, including appointments, vendors, and travel coordination, handling sensitive matters with discretion and sound judgment.\n\nAnticipate needs, identify issues early, and take initiative to resolve them proactively with minimal direction.\n\nBe comfortable working within a high-stakes and time sensitive environment.\n\nKey Qualifications\n8+ years of experience supporting c-suite, founder, or similarly high-profile leader in a fast-paced startup environment.\n\nExceptional judgment, discretion, and ability to handle highly confidential information.\n\nOperationally minded, organized, and detail-oriented, with a natural ability to build systems, create structure, and anticipate needs in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.\n\nDemonstrated capability orchestrating very complex local and global travel logistics, giving consideration to any additional requirements for a high profile and highly recognized individual.\n\nStrong written and verbal communicator who can adapt thoughtfully to different working styles and build effective relationships across research, engineering, product, marketing, and operations.\n\nExperience in technology, AI, academia, or research environments is a plus.\n\nBilingual fluency in English and Mandarin is a must.\n\nThoughtful, considerate, and proactively identifies situations and events that require a more nuanced approach or special touch.\n\nTech-savvy, with fluency in modern productivity tools (e.g., Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini, Google Workspace, Slack, Signal).\n\nWillingness to be in the San Francisco office 5 days. Flexibility to travel to Palo Alto as required.\n\nWho You Are\nFearless Innovator: We need people who thrive on challenges and aren't afraid to tackle the impossible.\n\nResilient Builder: Impacting Large World Models isn't a sprint; it's a marathon with hurdles. We're looking for builders who can weather the storms of groundbreaking research and come out stronger.\n\nMission-Driven Mindset: Everything we do is in service of creating the best spatially intelligent AI systems, and using them to empower people.\n\nCollaborative Spirit: We're building something bigger than any one person. We need team players who can harness the power of collective intelligence.\n\nWe're hiring the brightest minds from around the globe to bring diverse perspectives to our cutting-edge work. If you're ready to work on technology that will reshape how machines perceive and interact with the world - then World Labs is your launchpad.\nJoin us, and let's make history together.\nLogistics:\nLocation: This role is based in San Francisco, California; we work in-person in the office 5 days a week.\nVisa sponsorship: We sponsor visas. While we can't guarantee success for every candidate or role, if you're the right fit, we're committed to working through the visa process together.\nBenefits: We offer generous health, dental, vision and 401K benefits, flexible PTO, paid parental leave, and relocation support as needed.\nEqual Employment Opportunity\nWorld Labs is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable law.
