(Senior) Deployment Strategist (Zürich)
Job Description
Ethon was built to eliminate the trillion-dollar waste problem in manufacturing. We are the technology leader in Industrial AI, building agentic workflows that help manufacturers optimize cost, quality, and speed of production. We serve manufacturers from Siemens and Bosch to Lindt and Roche, and are backed by Index Ventures, General Catalyst, and Earlybird. Our team draws from Palantir, McKinsey, Meta, Google, and top manufacturing companies, all here for the same reason: giving manufacturers the technology to run every factory at unprecedented productivity.
What is this job about?
You will take a signed logo and turn them into a flagship reference. That means getting onto the shopfloor fast, understanding what drives their KPIs, and deploying Ethon's agentic workflows where the impact is highest. You implement the first use case while already mapping the next. When the engineer is sold, you bring in the plant manager. Once the plant manager is convinced, you get to the COO. This is what you'll do:
Own the deployment: You're the person who makes sure go-live happens on time and the customer's team knows how to use it. You handle the onboarding, the training, and the change management that gets a new platform embedded into daily operations.
Turn shop floor problems into business cases: An operator tells you yield drops on line 3 every Tuesday night. You figure out why, quantify what it costs, and build the case for the next deployment. You're as comfortable talking to a process engineer as you are presenting to a VP of Operations.
Drive expansion: You know which teams in the account haven't seen Ethon yet, which problems are still unsolved, and what it takes to get the next use case signed.
Be on-site: You're in factories. The insights that matter don't come from email chains and slides, they come from being on the floor.
Feed the product: You're closest to what customers actually need. You bring that signal back to Engineering and Product and you help us build something better.
Work with the team: GTM & Sales brings the logo with your help as a trustworthy industry expert, you take it from there. You work tightly with Engineering on delivery and with the commercial team on expansion opportunities.
