CommonAI is redefining how deep tech AI solutions are built through shared infrastructure and collaborative engineering. CommonAI Compute, part of the wider group, delivers cost-effective multi-cloud compute services for AI teams. We are building at the intersection of AI, cloud and large-scale infrastructure—working with commercial, government and research partners to accelerate AI adoption across the UK and Europe.

The Opportunity:

This is not a traditional admin role.

We are hiring a high-potential early-career individual to work closely with senior leadership, directly shadowing the CTO. You will gain front-row exposure to how a high-growth AI company is built and run—across strategy, fundraising, partnerships, hiring and operations.

The role is designed as a launchpad. You will be given responsibility early, expected to operate with autonomy and supported to develop core business skills including negotiation, decision-making and team coordination.

For the right individual, this can evolve into broader roles across operations, commercial, or chief of staff.

What You'll Be Doing:

Managing schedules, coordinating meetings and ensuring senior leaders are focused on highest-impact priorities
Preparing briefings, presentations and materials for internal and external meetings
Attending selected meetings to track actions, follow up and learn how decisions are made
Supporting across key business areas including partnerships, fundraising, hiring and internal operations
Taking ownership of projects and improving processes as you identify opportunities
Acting as a reliable point of coordination across teams, partners and stakeholders
Helping organise events, meetings and external engagements

Requirements

We are looking for exceptional potential, not a specific background. You might be a recent graduate or early in your career, but you will already have work evidence demonstrating drive, ownership and high standards.

You are likely to have:

A good university degree or equivalent evidence of excellent written and verbal skills.
Meaningful experience beyond academics, for example leading or building something (e.g. university society, charity, project, event, production)
Work experience within a fast-paced, people-facing environment (eg bar work, admin work, receptionist)

You will stand out if you:

Take initiative and follow through without being asked
Have excellent writing and communication skills
Are highly organised and detail-oriented
Communicate clearly and confidently in person and on the phone
Are comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment
Are ambitious and motivated to build a career in business, operations, or leadership
Have strong judgement and a high level of professionalism
Are excited to work in a software engineering environment

Please note that this role is within CommonAI Compute and by applying you agree to CommonAI CIC sharing your details with them.

Benefits

Direct, day-to-day exposure to senior leadership
Hands-on learning across negotiation, fundraising, operations and team leadership
Early responsibility in a high-growth environment
Clear path to more senior roles for high performers
A chance to build a strong foundation for a future leadership career
A vibrant Cambridge office close to the station, with great perks including snacks and a well-equipped gym

CommonAI Compute is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace.
