At RobCo, we automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary. To achieve this, we are looking for an ambitious Account Executive – US to help us establish RobCo as leading provider of automation solutions.

In this key role, you act as a primary driver for our revenue growth in the US market. You will own the full sales lifecycle to expand our footprint, forging strong partnerships with industrial enterprise accounts.

• 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.

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

• Business acumen: you are comfortable with production KPIs, cycle times, machine utilization and shift structures, and you know what a payback period has to look like before a CFO signs it.

• A proven track record selling technical or hardware products to industrial clients and technical stakeholders.

• Proven track record of consistently exceeding quota ($1M+ ARR responsibility) and successfully negotiating complex enterprise agreements.

• Mastery of structured sales methodologies (such as MEDDPICC or SPIN) applied in technical sales environments.
