Global Robotics Partnership Associate

About IRL

Researchers at UC Berkeley have identified a "100,000-year data gap" - the gulf between what trained AI language models and what physical robots actually have to learn from. Closing that gap is the defining infrastructure challenge of the physical AI era. IRL is Instawork's answer to it. We deploy skilled workers into real commercial and residential environments - kitchens, warehouses, hotel floors, homes - to capture the high-fidelity task data that the world's leading Robotics labs use to train their foundation models.

The Mission

Instawork is building the data engine for the future of physical AI. We are looking for a Global Robotics Partnership Associate to bridge the gap between world-class robotics companies, the massive scale of our labor marketplace, and the 1000s of Partners who use Instawork for skilled labor every day.

The Hustle

This is a high-octane, 60+ hour-per-week role for someone who lives to close deals. You will work directly with our CEO and Head of Robotics to hunt and secure partnerships with companies that control diverse labor forces. Your goal: integrate Instawork's operations and tech to turn their manual labor into the high-quality training datasets needed to fuel the next generation of robotics.

Role

• Execute the Playbook: Identify and sign global partners who need Instawork's tech to capture and structure robotic training data. Build outbound pipeline via cold calls, email, and LinkedIn. This is a full-cycle partner acquisition role, from first outreach, to collecting quality data.
• Own the Road: Expect extensive global travel to partner sites.

Who you Are: You have a "founder" mindset and Bias for Action. You don't wait for permission; you deliver results. You thrive in a high-pressure environment where the pace is fast and the expectations are higher. You are comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration. 2+ years in Partnerships, Business Development, SDR, or inside sales, with experience owning deals beyond initial qualification.
