We are looking for an exceptional Corporate Strategist, Go-to-Market to work at the intersection of corporate strategy, product, markets, and commercial execution. You will work directly with Avathon’s executive leadership and cross-functionally with Product, Sales, Marketing, and AI teams to turn strategy into action and measurable growth. For someone who wants to build a career at the intersection of AI, technology, strategy, and company building, this is an opportunity to help shape the commercial trajectory of a rapidly scaling Physical AI company.
What You'll Work On
- Develop strategies for taking Avathon’s Physical AI platform, products, and industry solutions to market, from identifying opportunities through commercial execution and scale
- Evaluate industries, geographies, customer segments, and operational use cases to determine where Avathon can create differentiated value and build category leadership
- Identify emerging opportunities where advances in Physical AI, agentic AI, and autonomous operations can create entirely new products, markets, and business models
- Build data-driven segmentation and prioritization frameworks for the world’s largest industrial enterprises and identify pathways to land, expand, and establish strategic enterprise relationships
- Partner with Product and industry teams to connect market needs with Avathon’s technology roadmap, influencing what we build, for whom, and how it is commercialized

- Evaluate pricing, packaging, sales models, strategic partnerships, channels, and ecosystem opportunities that can accelerate growth and create scalable commercial models
- Develop a deep understanding of AI, industrial technology, competitors, customers, and market dynamics to identify shifts that should influence Avathon’s strategy
- Work directly with senior leadership on high-priority initiatives, strategic customer opportunities, partnerships, market-entry decisions, and company-level growth priorities
- Develop the metrics and analytical frameworks required to understand what is working, identify constraints to growth, and continuously improve commercial execution
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 or GTM strategy
- Strong interest in AI, enterprise technology, industrial technology, and the transformation of the physical economy
- Ability to take an ambiguous strategic question, develop a rigorous point of view, and translate it into clear decisions and executable actions
- Strong commercial instincts and an understanding of complex enterprise markets and multi-stakeholder buying environments
- Exceptional written, verbal, and executive-level communication skills
- Comfortable working directly with executives while collaborating across Product, Sales, Marketing, Engineering, and AI Research
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.
