  4. As a key leader in On's extended leadership team, champion, safeguard and evolve On's unique culture, as we continue to grow and ignite more human spirits through movement.
Your Story
  1. 15+ years of global leadership experience in high performing product creation / R&D organization, in consumer products industries.
  2. You're native to a complex reporting organization, sitting in different geographic locations and across different product functions and categories, and you are both strategic and pragmatic, at designing and evolving a growing organization with high complexity.
  3. You are a strategic product leader, you are excited by On's technology and performance focus, and commitment to make a positive impact on the planet, through our products; and you want to push On's growth potential, by building a world-class product creation engine.
  4. You are a sharp business leader, with strong business acumen and natural instinct on how to drive operational excellence in R&D.
  5. You are a visionary people leader, your biggest passion is to inspire, coach, mentor and develop people and organizations.
  6. You are a natural connector with excellent communications skills, capable of building strong and meaningful relationships with internal and external team members and stakeholders.
  7. You have thorough understanding of product creation and manufacturing processes (especially in an OEM environment); deep insights on performance footwear, apparel and accessories preferred.
  8. You genuinely feel for the planet, and are keen to make a difference in sustainable product creation, knowing how difficult it is.
  9. You bring experience leading digital transformation, data governance and analytics.
  10. Academic background in Business Administration or product creation related field.
  11. This position is based in Zurich, Switzerland and our working language is English.
Meet The Team

On's product creation and operations team is innovative, creative, down-to-earth and enthusiastic about athlete and consumer needs. Our team works closely together to convert ideas and designs into prototypes and exceptional, high quality performance products. This team works closely with all R&D functions and beyond, and hosts expertise in materials, engineering, product development, quality and testing, R&D system and data, as well as R&D operations excellence.
