In this role, you will:

• Take end-to-end ownership of several customer projects at once, coordinating cross-functional teams, staying close to key stakeholders and ensuring that project objectives are met, enabling customers to continuously use IQA
• Own the customer relationship throughout the entire journey with IQA - from first touchpoints through the pilot phase to roll-out and live operation - actively improving production processes and delivering measurable impact
• Draw on your in-depth expertise in production processes and lean manufacturing, combined with a clear understanding of the customer’s pain points to identify how IQA can become a major value driver for the customer
• Contribute to ONIQ’s product strategy by actively gathering customer feedback and requirements ensuring our solution remains responsive to customer needs and market trends

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU

• Strong relationship-building skills, outgoing and communicative personality
• Entrepreneurial mindset and enthusiasm to drive the transformation to sustainable manufacturing with our software IQA
• Ability to understand the most pressing customer issues in production and to present our matching solutions
• Strong customer focus to achieve the best results both for the customer and ONIQ
• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering & Management, or a related field
• Profound experience working in consulting, production management, lean manufacturing, operational excellence, or similar
• International experience and a strong awareness of regional business practices, combined with the ability to tailor communication strategies accordingly
• Excellent language skills (English and German C1 or higher)
• Willingness to travel internationally for customer meetings or industry events (typically 2-4 meetings per month)
• We love the energy that comes from working together in person, so spending time at our Cologne or Berlin office matters to us. One on-site day per week is the minimum, and more time together is always welcome whenever it works for you

WHAT WE OFFER

• A culture built on transparency, integrity and authenticity – we trust and respect each other and make decisions based on competence
• A fast-paced, agile environment where you can take on as much responsibility as you feel ready for and actively shape our marketing and go-to-market
• A team that genuinely cares about collaboration and work culture: we regularly reflect on our teamwork, invest work time into team spirit and consciously create balance in everyday work
• The opportunity to contribute to fighting climate change by helping industrial manufacturers to become more efficient and to reduce their CO₂ emissions, while we are mindful of our own environmental impact as a carbon-neutral company
• All the benefits that make work more pleasant: flexible hours, part-time options, remote work possibilities, regular team events and offsites, 30 days PTO, weekly yoga sessions, Deutschlandticket, Urban Sports Club and more
