About G42

G42 Americas is a global artificial intelligence and technology group with its origins in Abu Dhabi, rapidly growing its presence in the US, Europe and other global markets. We are building a vertically integrated AI powerhouse with an ambition and a proposition on par with the world's leading hyperscalers, spanning AI data centers, hyperscale AI cloud infrastructure and frontier AI applications.

At the core of that ambition is a simple idea: G42 is building the world's AI token factory and AI agent factory, the industrial-scale infrastructure that produces intelligence, and the platforms that turn that intelligence into agents and applications reshaping how governments, enterprises and society work.

You will partner closely with Human Capital, Talent Acquisition, Finance, Legal and business leaders, translating complex rewards data into clear recommendations for hiring, retention, internal mobility and organizational decisions.

G42 Americas is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, with this role based in Bellevue. We are in the formative stage of building the company, its leadership team, operating rhythms and culture, and we value meaningful time together in person. The role will require comfort operating across the US and Europe as G42 Americas scales its organization and operations.

Our Culture: Founder Mode

G42 Americas is a company for builders. We are scaling at extraordinary speed, and we run the business the way founders do: hands-on, close to the work, biased to action and personally accountable for outcomes.

• Hands-on leadership. Our leaders go deep. They build, ship and own outcomes; they do not simply oversee.
• Founder mode. High ownership, high velocity, direct communication, and minimal bureaucracy.
• Room to shape. The blank canvas and pace of a startup, built on the foundation of an established global business with capital, customers, infrastructure, and world-class partners already in place.
• Build something great. We are assembling a few exceptional people to build a generational company, and we expect everyone who joins to leave a personal mark on what gets built.
