At Flexion, we're building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real-world humanoid deployment. We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex-Nvidia, ex-ETH Zürich), and backed by leading international VC firms. In just months, we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities.
The roleFlexion Robotics is looking for a Strategic Account Manager to own and grow relationships with our strategic customers after they come on board.
Our customers are some of the world’s leading humanoid and robotics companies. You will be the primary business owner for a portfolio of strategic accounts, responsible for understanding their products, technical roadmaps, and business priorities; identifying opportunities to expand Flexion’s role within their platforms; and representing the customer internally across Product, Engineering, Operations, and leadership.
You will develop a deep understanding of each customer’s robotics stack, product roadmap, and go-to-market plans: where Flexion creates value today, where our technology can enable new capabilities next, and what is required to turn an initial engagement into a long-term strategic partnership.
Key responsibilities- Serve as the primary business point of contact for strategic customers following initial acquisition.

What We Do
We at Flexion Robotics (flexion.ai) are a young company in Zurich working on the next generation of humanoid robot software to enable robots to perform useful tasks autonomously. We work dynamically and move fast. The team is still fairly small and every new employee at this stage will have significant ownership of their current project.
