Product Operations

About World Labs:

We build foundational world models that can perceive, generate, reason, and interact with the 3D world — unlocking AI's full potential through spatial intelligence by transforming seeing into doing, perceiving into reasoning, and imagining into creating. We believe spatial intelligence will unlock new forms of storytelling, creativity, design, simulation, and immersive experiences across both virtual and physical worlds. We bring together a world-class team, united by a shared curiosity, passion, and deep backgrounds in technology — from AI research to systems engineering to product design — creating a tight feedback loop between our cutting-edge research and products that empower our users.

Role Overview

We're looking for an operational lead to drive the operating cadence of the Marble team — across research, platform, and product. You'll own the burndown and risk register across Applied, Product and Platform; chase blockers across senior engineers and researchers; and coordinate the launch readiness of our models & products.

This is a high-leverage, individual contributor role. You'll run standups,  run the Friday demo, file the Linear issue, own the design-partner onboarding checklist, and stay accountable for the artifacts long enough that they become routine. You'll partner directly with the Product, Platform and Research team leads — translating intent faithfully across teams and drive us towards success.

What You Will Do:

• Own and improve core product development processes, tooling, and team rituals (planning cycles, monthly reviews, roadmap prioritization, etc.)
• Build reliable run-of-business systems that scale as World Labs grows — launch calendars, intake frameworks, RACI structures
• Drive cross-functional alignment between Product, Engineering and Research
• Facilitate roadmap planning by coordinating stakeholder inputs and maintaining transparency across the org
• Support Early Access Programs and alpha testing programs that validate product-market fit and surface refinement signals before broad release
• Own launch coordination end-to-end — ensuring timely, high-confidence rollouts with clear success metrics and post-launch monitoring
• Maintain cross-team roadmap visibility that keeps GTM, Product, and leadership aligned on what's shipping and why

Key Qualifications:

• 5+ years in Product Operations, Product Management, or a closely related operational role at a high growth tech or AI company
• You've built processes and programs from scratch and scaled them thoughtfully — not just inherited and maintained them
• Experience working with AI-native products, ideally in a domain where model quality and output reliability are central to the user experience
• Strong ability to translate complex qualitative and quantitative data — usage metrics, feedback themes, retention signals — into clear recommendations and roadmap inputs
• Proven ability to drive alignment across Product, GTM, and Engineering without direct authority
• Comfort with translating strategy into actionable plans, driving them to closure and collaborating across functions 

Preferred Qualifications:

While not required, experience in one or more of the following is a strong plus:

• Experience working in AI-native organizations / labs
• Experience working on consumer products or entertainment industries
• Ability to build internal tools using AI

Who You Are:

• Fearless Innovator: We need people who thrive on challenges and aren't afraid to tackle the impossible.
• Resilient Builder: Impacting Large World Models isn't a sprint; it's a marathon with hurdles. We're looking for builders who can weather the storms of groundbreaking research and come out stronger.
• Mission-Driven Mindset: Everything we do is in service of creating the best spatially intelligent AI systems, and using them to empower people.
• Collaborative Spirit: We're building something bigger than any one person. We need team players who can harness the power of collective intelligence.

We're hiring the brightest minds from around the globe to bring diverse perspectives to our cutting-edge work. If you're ready to work on technology that will reshape how machines perceive and interact with the world, World Labs is your launchpad.

Join us, and let's make history together.
