【What Makes the "Business Talent Acquisition Lead" Role at AIRoA Unique】

AIRoA is an organization that aims to advance large-scale robot data sharing and the development of foundation models for robots through the fusion of AI and robotics technology, ultimately realizing a society where robots play an active role. Turning this mission into real-world projects is the responsibility of our business professionals, who lead collaboration with member companies and drive project execution.

As the Business Talent Acquisition Lead, you will be the one gathering those value-creating teammates and actively shaping teams that take on global social challenges. You will experience first-hand how the people you hire go on to launch new projects and partnerships, creating tangible impact and contributing to transformation across the robotics industry as a whole.

【AIRoAの「ビジネス職採用担当」の醍醐味】

AIRoAは、AIとロボット技術の融合により、大規模なロボットデータの共有と基盤モデル開発を進め、ロボットが活躍する社会の実現を目指す組織です。ミッションを基に実際のプロジェクトを動かすのが、会員企業との連携やプロジェクト推進を担うビジネス職のメンバーです。ビジネス職採用担当は、価値を生み出す仲間を集め、世界の社会課題に挑むチームづくりに主体的に関わっていきます。自ら採用した人材が新しいプロジェクトやパートナーシップを生み、ロボット産業全体の変化につながっていく手応えを得られます。

【The Appeal of Taking On This Challenge at AIRoA, Just as We Are Getting Started】

AIRoA was founded in December 2024 and entered full-scale operation in FY2025, making it a truly early-stage organization. Major corporations and AI startups participate as full members, forming a unique ecosystem where universities, research institutes, and companies intersect.

In this environment, working as a Business Talent Acquisition Lead is not just about executing routine hiring operations. It is about designing from scratch "what backgrounds we should place at the core," and "what kind of culture and business portfolio we want to build." Rather than simply following fixed rules, you will have the freedom to design ideal candidate experiences and recruitment approaches yourself.

【スタートを切ったばかりのAIRoAで挑戦する魅力】

AIRoAは2024年12月設立、2025年度から本格始動した立ち上げフェーズの組織です。大手企業やAIスタートアップなどが正会員として参画し、大学・研究機関・企業が交わるユニークなエコシステムを形成しています。この環境でビジネス職採用担当として働くことは、単なる採用実務ではなく、「どんなバックグラウンドの人材を核に据え、どのようなカルチャーと事業ポートフォリオをつくるのか」をゼロから設計すること。決まったルールに従うのではなく、自ら理想の候補者体験や採用手法をデザインしていけます。

【Other】
While remote work is possible, this role is primarily expected to be office-based.
Most of our engineers and researchers also work on-site, conducting research and development directly in front of the robots.【その他】

リモートワーク可ではありますが、原則として出社での勤務を想定しています。

エンジニアや研究者も多くは出社し、ロボットを前に研究開発に取り組んでいます。

【About AIRoA】
AIRoA was established in December 2024 with two core objectives: "to revolutionize the technology of robot development through the fusion of robots and AI" and "to promote the use of robots in society." While AI is rapidly advancing worldwide, the shortage of data in robot development has become a critical issue.

To address this challenge, we are running a national flagship project funded by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), with an investment of over JPY 20 billion.

【AIRoAの概要】

「ロボットとAIの融合によってロボット開発の技術を革新すること」「社会におけるロボットの活用を推進すること」AIRoAは2024年12月に設立された組織であり、この2つの目的を掲げています。今、世界中でAIが急速に発展する一方、ロボット開発ではデータ不足が深刻です。私たちはNEDO(国立研究開発法人 新エネルギー・産業技術総合開発機構)から200億円を超える出資による国家プロジェクトを進行しています。

●Recruitment Background

AIRoA is launching multiple cross-industry projects centered on building a robot data ecosystem and developing foundation models for robots. As we move forward, the role of business professionals who connect technology with society—through planning and managing joint projects with member companies, designing business schemes for real-world implementation, and driving community building and external outreach—will become even more critical. To support this, we have created a new dedicated position to lead business-side hiring and build a robust recruitment foundation that underpins AIRoA's future growth.

●募集背景

AIRoAは、ロボットデータエコシステム構築とロボット基盤モデル開発を軸に、産業横断のプロジェクトを複数立ち上げていきます。今後、会員企業との共同プロジェクトの企画・運営、社会実装に向けたビジネススキーム構築、コミュニティ運営や発信など、技術と社会をつなぐビジネス職の役割は一層重要になります。ビジネス職採用をリードし、今後の事業成長を見据えた採用基盤の構築を担う専任ポジションを新設しました。

●Future Mission

In the short term, you will clarify hiring needs for business roles and improve both consistency and speed in recruitment by standardizing role definitions, hiring KPIs, and selection processes.

Beyond that, you will design a talent portfolio aligned with the roadmap for our robot foundation models and data ecosystem, and build a talent community by leveraging our networks with member companies, research institutions, and startups.

We expect you to help establish AIRoA's brand positioning—so that when people think about taking on challenges in "Robot × AI business," they think of AIRoA—through both recruitment and external communications. In the longer term, your scope will expand to include talent management and organizational development for business roles as a whole.

●将来的なミッション

短期的には、ビジネス職の採用ニーズを整理し、ポジション定義・採用KPI・選考フローを標準化することで、採用の再現性とスピード向上を実現していただきます。その後はロボット基盤モデルやデータエコシステムのロードマップと連動した人材ポートフォリオを描き、会員企業・研究機関・スタートアップとのネットワークを活かしたタレントコミュニティを形成してください。「ロボット×AIビジネスに挑戦するならAIRoA」と想起されるブランドポジションを、採用と発信の両面からつくっていく役割を期待しています。将来的にはビジネス職全体のタレントマネジメントや組織開発にもスコープを広げていただきます。
