Strategic Projects Associate

Tutor Intelligence is building the technology and processes to let robots go where they’ve never gone before: the average American factory. We understand that general-purpose and generally intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes, and we’re combining human and artificial intelligence to lead the charge. As an MIT-founded AI software company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, every role at Tutor has a direct impact on the global, physical economy.Role summaryWe’re looking for an ambitious, externally-facing generalist to help drive new business initiatives, early product concepts, and exploratory commercial opportunities. As a Strategic Projects Associate, you’ll be dropped into ambiguous, high-leverage threads that shape the company's future: identifying new markets, developing partnerships, collaborating with financing sources, and helping leadership turn loose ideas into executable opportunities.This is a creative, fast-paced role heavy on communication, persuasion, and structured problem-solving. You’ll spend most of your time talking to external stakeholders, crafting narratives, selling possibilities, writing a massive volume of clear communication, and keeping complex exploratory threads on track. Not a process role, not an internal analyst role — this is closer to venture creation inside a robotics company.ResponsibilitiesDrive very early-stage exploratory sales and dealmaking processes, including outreach, framing, and follow-up.Coordinate with customers, partners, investors, vendors, and domain experts to move conversations and projects forward.Gather technical input from engineering teams and translate it into clear external communication and realistic opportunity framing.Maintain momentum across multiple threads through structured communication, scheduling, and consistent follow-through.Produce a high volume of clear written communication, including emails, briefs, one-pagers, and meeting recaps.Identify creative angles and approaches to advance new product concepts, partnerships, or commercial opportunities.Support leadership on high-impact special projects that span commercial, product, and strategic domains.Requirements1–4 years in a fast-paced environment (consulting, VC, IB, startup, PM, strategy, or similar).Technical background or comfort: engineering degree/minor, technical coursework, or experience working closely with technical teams.Strong client-facing instincts: able to sell, persuade, negotiate, and build relationships with external stakeholders.Exceptionally organized, capable of managing many concurrent threads without losing track.Excellent written communication: concise, precise, high-volume email and message writing.Creative and entrepreneurial mindset; ability to ideate, frame opportunities, and navigate ambiguity.High ownership and reliability; comfortable taking vague ideas and structuring them into concrete next steps.

Salary : $25 - $33
