About this role

ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries. Join our highly talented and motivated team of more than 200 people and work on cutting-edge robot technology.

Your Impact

- Deliver Automations: Build and deploy automations with clear baseline metrics (hours saved, cycle times reduced, errors eliminated). Every project must show a clear, measured return.

- Build an Operations Network: Identify and onboard key process owners across Commercial, Product, Operations, Finance, and R&D, establishing cross-functional delivery without direct authority.

- Improve Data Quality at the Source: Resolve data issues where they originate alongside process owners, eliminating the need for downstream BI fixes.

Your Profile

- ROI-Driven: You track exact costs before and after process changes. You focus on concrete operational outcomes rather than framework adoption.

- Proven Change Management: You have successfully redesigned cross-functional processes despite organizational friction, with measurable results.

- Hands-on Technical Capability: You have built and shipped automation or integration projects in the last 24 months. You are proficient with tools like n8n, Make, or Workato, standard ERP/CRM platforms, APIs, and AI integrations (knowing when to use AI and when deterministic systems are better).

- Systems Architecture: You have successfully established system-of-record policies that teams actively use.

- Influence Without Authority: You can drive organizational change through persuasion and execution rather than formal mandates.

- Stakeholder Alignment: You can hold your ground and negotiate effectively with senior business and technical leaders.

- Business Acumen: You understand how business operations directly impact revenue and prioritize accordingly.

- Global Presence: Willingness to travel frequently to HQ to collaborate directly with teams on-site.

Bonus Points

- Technical or engineering degree, with comfort working around hardware development environments.

- Background in manufacturing, supply chain, or industrial operations (including PLM, ERP, and SOP frameworks).

- Experience scaling business processes in a high-growth company.

- Familiarity with our stack: SAP, HubSpot, Wrike, Snowflake, Sigma, GitLab, HiBob, Notion.

- Experience with installed-base, entitlement, or recurring-revenue models for hardware/software products.

- Experience implementing internal AI training or adoption initiatives.

What We Offer

- Broad operational ownership across a 220-person company.

- A greenfield environment for workflows and automation, supported by established IT and Data infrastructure.

- A senior individual contributor track with high autonomy and no headcount management burden.

- Executive and board visibility on productivity outcomes in an AI-focused organization.

- Complex operational challenges supporting physical robotics deployed in extreme environments.

We offer you a very exciting and dynamic work environment, the opportunity to become part of a fast-growing company and an ambitious team that is on a mission to change the industrial inspection market, a chance to leverage your experience and bring in your own ideas, a fair market salary, an attractive employee stock ownership plan, and a job in the city of Zurich.
