We are looking for an exceptional Corporate Strategist, Platform & Product Strategy to work at the intersection of corporate strategy, Physical AI, product, technology, and markets. You will work directly with Avathon’s executive leadership and partner closely with Product, AI Research, Product Engineering, Forward Engineering, and industry teams to help shape the strategic direction of Avathon’s platform and product portfolio. This is an opportunity to directly influence what Avathon builds, where we invest, and how we translate frontier AI capabilities into differentiated products for the physical economy.

What You'll Work On

Help define the long-term strategy, strategic priorities, and product investment roadmap for Avathon’s Physical AI platform and product portfolio

Evaluate Avathon’s platform capabilities, applications, and industry solutions to identify opportunities to build, expand, consolidate, partner, or enter new product categories

Analyze customer needs, industry workflows, operational challenges, and market dynamics to determine which problems Avathon should productize and where the greatest opportunities for differentiated value exist

Evaluate advances across agentic AI, autonomous systems, knowledge graphs, multimodal AI, digital twins, optimization, and decision intelligence and translate them into strategic implications for Avathon’s platform and roadmap

Develop strategic perspectives on how Avathon’s platform should address high-value opportunities across energy, mining, manufacturing, aerospace & defense, and supply chain & logistics

Develop analytical frameworks and business cases to evaluate new products, platform capabilities, market opportunities, partnerships, and strategic technology investments

Develop a deep understanding of the evolving AI and industrial technology landscape, identifying competitive shifts, emerging architectures, new entrants, and technology developments that should influence Avathon’s strategy

Partner with Product Management and Marketing to articulate how Avathon’s platform and products are differentiated and help define the strategic narrative for Physical AI and industrial autonomy

Work with customers, Forward Engineering, and industry experts to identify recurring operational problems and determine which customer-driven innovations can become repeatable, scalable products

Work directly with senior leadership on platform direction, product portfolio decisions, strategic partnerships, build-versus-buy decisions, market entry, and other company-level strategic priorities

What We’re Looking For:

MBA required from a leading global university, with a strong record of academic and professional achievement

Approximately 3–5 years of pre-MBA experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, product strategy or technology strategy

Strong interest in AI, enterprise technology, product strategy, industrial technology, and the transformation of the physical economy

Demonstrated ability to evaluate markets, technologies, products, and business models and translate complex analysis into clear strategic recommendations

Ability to take an ambiguous question whether around a new AI capability, product category, industry opportunity, or strategic investment and develop a rigorous point of view and actionable path forward

Strong understanding of how technology platforms become products, including the relationship between core platform capabilities, applications, customer requirements, and market opportunities

Strong analytical capabilities, including market sizing, competitive analysis, business-case development, strategic modeling, and product/portfolio analysis

Intellectual curiosity and sufficient technical fluency to engage effectively with Product, Engineering, AI Research, and Forward Engineering teams on emerging AI technologies and their commercial potential

Exceptional written, verbal, and executive-level communication skills, with the ability to distill complex technology and market questions into clear decisions and narratives

Comfortable working directly with executives and operating across functions in a high-growth environment where strategy, technology, and product direction are evolving rapidly.

What You'll Learn

Within your first few years at Avathon, you will develop a rare combination of AI fluency, strategic judgment, commercial acumen, and operating experience. You will learn how a frontier technology company identifies markets, defines new categories, shapes products, wins complex global enterprises, and scales from breakthrough customer deployments to repeatable businesses. Working alongside executives, product leaders, AI teams, and customers across some of the world’s most consequential industries, you will gain exposure well beyond a traditional post-MBA strategy role. If you want to help define how Physical AI becomes a global industry, come build the market with us.
