Senior Lead - Agile Creation Development

<h4>In short</h4> <p>As the Sr. Lead - Agile Creation Developer, you will be the architect for new products &amp; platforms that venture beyond current capabilities.&nbsp; As a development “Rover”, you must have technical knowledge of vastly different full system development types with the ability to work autonomously on tooling engineering and material development.&nbsp; You are the “Swiss Army Knife”. You require minimal supervision and your reach, end-to-end, will be broader than any other on the team.&nbsp; You are highly curious, highly ambitious, and are energized by the fact that your day-to-day is never the same. Of our five spirits at On, you identify most with the Explorer Spirit. You rethink and venture into the unknown.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Your mission</h4> <ul> <li>Commit to the Unknown: You lead the technical development silhouettes that may never have been done at ON, ensuring that the full system plus every detail translates into a premium experience with the long-term structural integrity expected of a Swiss Engineered product.</li> <li>Master Complex Integration: You serve as the primary technical partner to Design, converting high-concept visions into reality.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li>Drive Swiss Ingenuity: You apply a "zero-compromise" mindset to manufacturing, utilizing advanced construction to achieve the clean, minimalist finish that serves as a global benchmark for quality as the most premium sportswear brand.</li> </ul> <h4>Your story</h4> <ul> <li>The Technical Authority: You have 12+ years of advanced footwear development experience, with a proven track record of launching highly complex, performance-driven products or platforms.</li> <li>Resilient Individual Contributor: You have the patience and persistence to navigate the long road. You take full accountability for the technical lifecycle, from initial discovery to the final production sample.</li> <li>A Problem Solver by Nature: Ingenuity is at your core. You think differently, challenge the status quo, and find elegance in solving the most difficult construction puzzles while maintaining superior performance.</li> <li>The Swiss Army Knife Skillset: Deep, hands-on expertise in advanced tooling engineering, mold design, injection/compression molding processes, and cutting-edge material development.</li> <li>Autonomous Execution: A self-starter mindset with the ability to operate with minimal supervision in ambiguous, rapidly changing environments.</li> </ul> <h4>Attributes of a successful candidate:&nbsp;</h4> <ul> <li>Architect the Unknown: Translate innovative concepts into scalable, commercial footwear platforms and manufacturing processes.</li> <li>The "Rover": Act as an internal consultant and firefighter, stepping into highly complex or "critical condition" projects to course-correct technical execution, tooling engineering, or material development. &nbsp;Proven resilience and emotional intelligence when leading high-stakes projects under tight deadlines or technical constraints.</li> <li>End-to-End Orchestration: Manage the entire development lifecycle for strategic initiatives, oscillating seamlessly from microscopic technical details to macro-level launch strategies and sourcing considerations.</li> </ul>
