• Develop and deliver compelling business cases & ROI analyses for potential customers.
• Build relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders in target industries.
• Partner with product & engineering to align solutions with customer needs.
• Track market trends and competitor activity to refine go-to-market approaches.

What We're Looking for

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field.
• Background in robotics, automation, or advanced manufacturing technologies.
• 3-5 years’ experience in business development in Robotics/Warehouse/Logistics or Automotive/Manufacturing.
• Demonstrated success in reaching or exceeding sales targets, especially with complex or technical products.
• Strong network in the relevant industries and a track record of securing strategic partnerships.
• Exceptional negotiation, communication, and presentation skills.
• Expertise in calculating ROI and developing bulletproof business cases.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a results-driven mindset.
• P&L management and financial modeling experience.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive health coverage for US-based employees, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, with virtual care and employee assistance resources.
• Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of PTO (accrued), separate sick leave, and paid company holidays.
• 401(k) retirement plan with 4% employer match.
• Equity included-we believe builders should share in what they build.
• Free daily catered lunch, snacks, and drinks in-office.
• Collaboration with top-tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.

For this role in the United States, the expected base salary range is $180,000-$250,000 USD per year + Sales Incentives; your placement in that range depends on geographical location and how your experience maps to our internal leveling.
