$19,214 more — $204,214 — moves this role to Level III and 3 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $204,214 would place this position at wage Level III. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Financial Managers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

About the role
- This role suits someone who combines AI transformation experience, product thinking, and operational instinct, and who has a clear point of view on what an AI-native company should look like.
- As a first responsibility-level role - you are not designing a process, you are designing how this company operates.
- Our in-house and external AI products are both your toolkit and the objects you are validating and refining.
Responsibilities
- Identify which traditional businesses and functions can be replaced or restructured by AI products / Agents, and lead the transition from "human-driven processes" to "human + AI Agent driven processes".
- Integrate the existing tool stack with the company's AI products - build on what's there rather than starting from scratch
- Partner with the founder and executive team to define the key decision-making framework at the company level, keeping strategy, business, product & technology, and organization in sync.
- Design a lightweight operating cadence (weekly / monthly / quarterly) anchored on data and AI-assisted decision-making, rather than replicating traditional management systems.
- Maintain equally clear judgment on "what not to do" and "what to delegate to AI"
- Guided by the company's "AI First" strategy, design the strategic roadmap, operating philosophy, organizational form, role structure, and overall collaboration model of the company's AI transformation - so that the way the company runs becomes a natural extension of our AI product capabilities.
- A conviction in staying lean: if one Agent can solve it, don't build a team for it
Requirements
- 15+ years of experience in product, strategy, or company-level operations, with at least 3 years in a core role at an AI / tech company during a 0-to-1 or 0-to-N stage
- Bachelor's or advanced degree in CS, Robotics, EE, or a closely related technical field.
- proven track record of replacing traditional management activities with tools and automation
Nice to have
- Product or operations background in AI products - particularly Agents, Copilots, or automation-class products
- Familiarity with the domain our existing AI products operate in, with the ability to quickly form a view on the product-organization-market relationship
- Startup experience, with a deep bias toward "lean" - capable of producing 50-person output with a 5-person
- Casual dress code + relaxed work environment
- Culturally diverse, progressive atmosphere
Skills
- Genuinely AI Native - not just "comfortable using AI tools," but defaults to asking "can AI do this?" for every problem
Compensation
- ($185,000 - $210,000 DOE), plus benefits and incentive plans
Benefits
- Perks + Benefits
- Healthcare + dental + vision benefits (Free for you/discounted for family)
Company info
- Faraday Future (FF) is a California-based embodied artificial intelligence ecosystem company, leveraging the latest technologies and world's best talent to realize exciting new possibilities in mobility and robotics.
- We're producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles and robots to establish new paradigms in human-AI interaction.
- We're not just seeking to change how our cars and robots work - we're seeking to change the way we drive and interact with machines.
- At FF, we're creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.
- We are looking for a leader who can reshape the way our company is strategically designed and operated through an AI-product mindset.
- The first responsibility of this role is not to "push AI adoption into a traditional organization" - it is the opposite: to treat the company itself as a product built on top of our AI capabilities, and to design its organizational structure, processes, staffing, and decision-making mechanisms around our core AI products.
- We are not looking to build a heavyweight traditional operating system - we are looking for someone who can use AI to drive change at the management layer and make the company itself the best showcase of our AI products.
- Direct collaboration with the founder, product, and engineering core - an extremely short decision chain.
- A genuine opportunity to redefine what a company can be with AI - not yet another AI project inside a traditional company
- Treats the company itself as a product, not an organization to be managed
Equal opportunity
- equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, protected veteran status, disability, age, or other legally protected status.
