Your Mission

Develop, sharpen, and drive Neura’s AI, PLA and NeuraGym strategy - from business model design and market entry sequencing to competitive intelligence and partnership framework - ensuring NEURA stays at least 18 months ahead of every competitor in Physical AI.

Key Responsibilities

• Own Neura’s AI, PLA and NeuraGym strategy roadmap: define, together with business unit heads, the 12–36 month strategic priorities, translate them into executable initiatives, and track progress against them
• Continuously develop and stress‑test these business models
• Lead market entry analysis for new geographies—evaluating demand signals, competitive landscape, and enterprise anchor customer readiness
• Build and maintain Neura’s AI competitive intelligence framework: track humanoid OEM strategies, alternative training facility concepts, and Physical AI platform developments globally
• Develop and refine Neura’s AI, PLA, and NeuraGym investor and partner narrative—slide decks, financial assumptions, scenario models—in alignment with NEURA Robotics positioning
• Identify strategic partnership opportunities with academic institutions, industry partners, and new verticals beyond manufacturing
• Work directly with the Performance Manager to ensure strategy‑to‑execution translation: OKRs, KPIs, and milestone accountability

Your Profile

• 5–9 years in strategy, management consulting, or business development — with a preference for candidates who have made the leap from advisory into operational roles
• Sharp analytical mind: comfortable building market sizing models, business cases, and financial scenarios from scratch
• Experience with subscription/platform business models and/or infrastructure‑as‑a‑service strongly preferred
• Strong executive communication skills — you can write a compelling one‑pager and present it in the boardroom
• Entrepreneurial drive: you want to build, not just advise
• Fluent in English and German (additional languages a plus given our international expansion)
• Deep curiosity about robotics, AI, and the physical‑digital convergence of industrial automation
