Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND-01 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.
About The Role
We’re hiring a Senior Business Assistant to join our Office of the CFO team, based in London. In this role, you’ll sit alongside the CFO in key meetings - preparing the ground beforehand, capturing what matters as it happens, and making sure nothing agreed in the room gets lost afterwards. It’s a content-focused role: you’ll need a genuine working understanding of finance to follow the discussion, not just log who said what.
What You’ll Do
Meeting Support & Follow-Through
-
Join key meetings: Join meetings alongside the CFO - leadership, board, and finance-function meetings - capturing accurate notes and the decisions that come out of them.
-
Own the follow-up: Turn discussions into clear, assigned action items and drive them to completion, chasing owners and flagging slippage before it becomes a problem.
-
Track outstanding items: Maintain a live view of open actions and decisions across the CFO’s meeting cadence, escalating blockers to the CFO directly.
Pre-Meeting Preparation
-
Prepare pre-reads: Prepare pre-reads, briefing packs, and agendas ahead of key meetings, pulling together relevant background, data, and context.
-
Coordinate stakeholder input: Coordinate input from stakeholders across Finance - Controllership, Tax, Treasury, FP&A - so the CFO walks in fully briefed.
-
Anticipate what’s needed: Proactively anticipate what the CFO will need for a given meeting, rather than waiting to be asked.
Finance-Literate Business Support
-
Follow technical discussions: Apply a working understanding of financial concepts and terminology to accurately capture and summarise technical finance discussions.
-
Sanity-check materials: Review financial reports, decks, and models before they reach the CFO, spotting errors, inconsistencies, or omissions.
-
Partner across finance: Partner with Controllership, Tax, Treasury, and FP&A to gather the input and context needed for meetings and follow-ups.
Communication & Organisation
-
Produce clear meeting notes: Produce clear, well-structured meeting notes and summaries, distributed promptly to attendees.
-
Maintain a master tracker: Maintain a single source of truth for action items, decisions, and deadlines across the CFO’s meeting cadence.
-
Handle information with discretion: Manage confidential and sensitive business and financial information with sound judgement.
What We’re Looking For
-
Proven experience as an EA, business assistant, or similar role supporting senior executives, ideally within a finance function.
-
A working understanding of financial concepts and terminology (P&L, budgeting, forecasting) sufficient to follow and accurately summarise finance discussions.
-
Excellent note-taking and written communication skills, able to turn meeting discussions into clear, actionable outputs.
-
Strong organisational skills, with a proven ability to track and drive multiple action items to completion.
-
Comfortable preparing pre-meeting materials, pulling together data and context from multiple stakeholders.
-
High level of discretion when handling confidential business and financial information.
-
Proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
-
Strong proficiency with everyday productivity tools (Microsoft Office / Google Workspace).
-
Bachelor’s degree in finance, business, or a related field is a plus.
-
Experience supporting a CFO or finance leadership team specifically is a strong plus.
-
Experience in a venture-backed, high-growth startup or scale-up is a plus.
What We Offer
-
Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.
-
30+ paid days off, including 23 days of annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas-NewYear shutdown).
-
Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care.
-
Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.
-
Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office.
-
Work at the frontier - collaborate daily with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts building the next generation of AI and humanoid robotics.
-
Real ownership - direct access to founding leadership, meaningful input on product direction, and the ability to drive key initiatives from day one.
