Your Responsibilities
  • Drive Pipeline Generation: Execute target outreach strategies in close collaboration with SDRs to systematically build qualified enterprise pipeline.

  • Champion Technical Solutions: Communicate the value proposition and technical ROI of RobCo's physical AI and modular automation solutions to C-level executives and plant leaders.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Solution Engineering and Product teams to align technical specifications, assess project feasibility, and deliver tailored automation proposals.
  • Pipeline Hygiene & Data Quality: Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene in Salesforce, ensuring accurate pipeline tracking, stage progression, forecasting, and key deal intelligence.

  • Industry knowledge: familiarity with manufacturing environments and the confidence to hold a conversation with a plant manager and a CFO in the same afternoon.

  • As part of a very dynamic and fast-growing scale-up, you will take on responsibility from day one, drive your own projects, and see the direct impact of your work.
  • Flat hierarchies, open communication, and regular 360° feedback enable fast decisions and support your professional and personal development.
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package - including medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus a 401(k) plan.
