Role overview
Cenotian provides deployment capabilities and capital for industrial and commercial automation. The company focuses on enabling robotics and automation OEMs to scale equipment sales through asset-backed financing structures. Its model is inspired by aircraft leasing but designed to remove operational burden from OEMs, allowing them to offer their customers flexible, finance-enabled deployments of robots and automation equipment. Cenotian’s platform securitizes financed equipment into pooled structures to create a fixed-income product backed by robotics and automation assets, unlocking lower-cost capital for end customers and investors while facilitating broader adoption of automation technologies in industrial and commercial settings.
What you will do
- Lead time-bound, founder-mandated missions embedded across finance, product, and commercial functions to validate and launch new services.
- Use modern AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor) to collapse engineering and commercial interfaces, shipping working prototypes in days rather than weeks.
- Drive ‘go/no-go’ decisions on multi-million dollar initiatives by surfacing hard truths about unit economics, scalability, and real-world execution.
Who this is a fit for
- Possesses a strong STEM/CS foundation (Engineering, Physics, or Math) combined with a career primarily focused on high-pressure commercial delivery.
- Demonstrates extreme AI fluency, acting as a force multiplier who can build software, automations, and models without relying on external engineering resources.
- Features a background as a former founder or a ‘launcher’ from high-growth environments like Revolut, Uber, or top-tier management consultancy.
Why this role is remarkable
- Work directly with founders and the executive leadership team as a high-agency ‘founder-in-residence’ on the company’s most consequential strategic bets.
- Join a category-defining startup backed by a Tier-1 investor with a track record of decacorn outcomes in fintech and frontier robotics.
- Move beyond advisory or management into true ownership, with successful missions transitioning into permanent leadership of the new business units you build.
