Who We Are

--------------

Percepta’s mission is to transform critical institutions with applied AI. We care that industries that power the world (e.g. healthcare, manufacturing, energy) benefit from frontier technology.

To make that happen, we embed with industry-leading customers to drive AI transformation. We bring together[:](https://challenge.percepta.ai)

• Forward-deployed expertise in engineering, product, and research

• Mosaic, our in-house toolkit for rapidly deploying agentic workflows

• Strategic partnerships with Anthropic, McKinsey, AWS, companies within the General Catalyst portfolio, and more

Our team is a quickly growing group of Applied AI Engineers, Embedded Product Managers and Researchers motivated by diffusing the promise of AI into improvements we can feel in our day to day lives.

Percepta is a direct partnership with General Catalyst, a global transformation and investment company.

About The Role

Percepta's research org runs four parallel tracks — world modeling, forecasting, user modeling, and optimization — each feeding a shared pipeline: a world model compresses the operation, forecasters and user models score what happens next, and optimizers choose the best action. That structure only works if someone is actively running the machinery behind it — tracking where each track's research actually stands, where shared resources like compute are going, and whether commitments made to research leadership and customer-facing teams are on track.

Responsibilities

• Own the operating rhythm of the research org: roadmap tracking, milestone check-ins, status reporting, and the recurring rituals that keep four research tracks legible to each other and to leadership.

• Track dependencies across the four research tracks (e.g. a forecaster waiting on a world model, an optimizer waiting on a user model) and surface them proactively, rather than letting them surface late.

• Manage allocation of shared infrastructure — compute, data access, and research engineering time across competing priorities, and escalate trade-offs rather than resolve them unilaterally.

• Maintain a single, accurate view of commitments: what's been promised to customer-facing teams, what the research org has committed to shipping, and progress against both.

• Coordinate the ...
