What you'll do
- Own the deployment: make sure go-live happens on time and the customer's team knows how to use it; handle onboarding, training and change management to embed the platform into daily operations
- Turn shopfloor problems into business cases: investigate issues such as yield drops, quantify the cost and build the case for the next deployment
- Drive expansion: identify teams in the account that haven't seen Ethon yet, which problems remain unsolved and what it takes to get the next use case signed
- Be on-site in factories, since the insights that matter come from being on the floor
- Feed the product: bring customer signal back to Engineering and Product
- Work with GTM & Sales, who bring the logo with your help as a trustworthy industry expert; work tightly with Engineering on delivery and with the commercial team on expansion opportunities
What we're looking for
- Technically sharp enough to understand a production process and commercially minded enough to turn a pain point into a business case
- 3-5 years of experience in something demanding: consulting, enterprise tech deployment, or a career on the shopfloor
- Know how to manage complex stakeholder environments, from shopfloor operators to C-suite sponsors
- Have run change management or adoption programs and know what it takes to get people to actually use new tools
- Builder mindset: when something isn't working, the instinct is to fix it rather than escalate it
- Open to travel 30-50% of the time
Nice to have
- Experience with MES, ERP, Historian, or quality systems in manufacturing environments
- Fluency in German, French, or another European language
Benefits
- Performance-based career & growth paths
- On-site work with significant scope for flexible schedules
- Competitive compensation including stock options giving you a stake in Ethon's long-term success
- Vacation bonus if you take two consecutive weeks of vacation
- Flexible parental leave
- Learning budget for courses, conferences, and coaching
