Senior Lead - Corporate Strategy

Location: Zurich

Corporate Strategy

In short
------------

We are looking for a new team member in the Office of Corporate Strategy to join our team of explorers and dreamers. You will act as a strategic co\-pilot to our most senior leaders, translating our 2030 Long Range Plan into actionable, high\-impact initiatives. This is a role for a "strategic operator"—someone who can navigate the 30,000\-foot vision but isn't afraid to dive deep into the data to solve our most complex business challenges.

Your Mission
----------------

• Drive the Long Range Plan: Own and lead cross\-functional strategic projects that define the future of On. You will be the architect of high\-stakes initiatives across Product, Marketing, and Operations, ensuring they align with our global growth targets.


• Independent Strategic Analysis: Perform rigorous, end\-to\-end quantitative and qualitative analysis. You will identify market white spaces, evaluate new business models, and provide the data\-backed conviction needed to make "big bet" decisions.


• High\-Stakes Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a trusted advisor to the Executive Team. You will prepare and facilitate leadership operating rhythms (Board meetings, Executive Offsites, and Monthly Business Reviews), driving clarity and decision\-making at the highest levels.


• Orchestrate Cross\-Functional Synergy: Break down silos by leading "working pods" across the business. You will influence leaders who don't report to you, ensuring seamless execution of transformation projects from discovery to delivery.


• Performance Monitoring: Design and own the KPIs for our strategic portfolio, providing real\-time visibility into progress, risks, and trade\-offs for the leadership team.

• The Foundation: You have 5\+ years of high quality, relevant experience, ideally with a significant tenure at a top\-tier management consultancy. You have a proven track record of managing complex workstreams and high\-performing teams.


• Analytical Powerhouse: You are an expert in structured problem\-solving and financial modeling. You can turn messy data into a compelling narrative and "quick and dirty" models into boardroom\-ready insights.


• Executive Presence: You are comfortable standing in front of senior executives, defending your recommendations with poise and clarity. You possess the "influence without authority" required to drive change in a fast\-paced environment.


• Entrepreneurial Mindset: You thrive in ambiguity. You don’t wait for a playbook; you write it. You are passionate about the intersection of performance, sustainability, and innovation.


• Passion for the Brand: You live and breathe movement. Whether it’s a marathon or a morning yoga session, you understand the community we serve because you are a part of it.

On’s Corporate Strategy Team is in charge of shaping and defining the company’s strategic roadmap so we remain the most exciting and fastest growing global sportswear brands. We work closely with On’s top management to drive key strategic and operational initiatives across all functions and regions. This implies developing On’s 5\-year strategy, carrying out market analyses, as well as driving local execution. In order to have an impact on how On’s future is built, the team brings an entrepreneurial and results\-driven mindset combined with strong analytical and hands\-on execution skills.

Build the better you
What to expect
------------------

We want to set everyone up for success, so here’s the lowdown on how we hire. Our process is a two\-way street – bringing you into our culture, while helping us learn how you think.

Our full process can last about eight weeks from application to offer, because we care about getting it right. These steps explain how we usually do things.

Before you get started, feel free to consider if you want to work with us. Strange question? Well, we give people a lot of space to navigate their day\-to\-day and that style isn't for everyone. We want you to be passionate about what you do and be sure this is the right fit. Because when skills and passion combine – it creates that 'Wow' moment.

• ### Step One

It starts with you...

You'll start by submitting your application to a specific role. We try to keep this step as simple as possible. We do get a lot of applications, but we review them all. If you're a good fit to the role, a recruiter will follow up with you directly. If you didn't receive a reply, or were unsuccessful this time around, we encourage you to look for other possible matches at On.

• ### Step Two

Interview with a recruiter

What ignites your spirit? This is where we’ll start getting to know all about you and what makes you tick – and it’s your first chance to get a feel for our culture. Chatting with a member of our talent team, you’ll learn more about On and how we work. We’ll learn about what motivates you and what you could bring to the team.

• ### Step Three

Interview with a hiring manager

Ready to dig into the details? This second interview will be held with your future manager and will focus on the specifics of the job. Together you’ll delve into your unique skills and experiences and how they could be relevant at On. It's also a time to assess how you might feel working side\-by\-side. Bring any questions you have about the job, the team or anything else you might like to know – this is an open forum.

• ### Step Four

The Case Study

What's your style? This task will help us understand how you think, face a challenge and give insight into your novel ideas. Designed to give everyone their best shot, your case study is based on something you might typically experience on the job. This is your chance to show us what you’ve got. So express yourself. Be you.

• ### Step Five

The Experience Day

Your first taste of the Oniverse. This is a time to meet some of the people you'll be working closest with. In person or virtually, you'll get a feel for the day\-to\-day at On and the people who make it happen. You'll chat with a few potential teammates \- the conversations will be as equally driven by the role and your experience as by our values. We believe how you do things is just as important as what you do.

• ### Step Six

The Result

Are we a good fit? We’ll get together internally to share our feedback and decide if we’re a match. We know that job searching is a big time investment, so it’s not a decision we take lightly. It’s also time for you to reflect on the experience – are we the right place for you? No matter the outcome, we’ll give you meaningful feedback.
