Hiring: Director of Sales for Service Robots

Join Our Team as Director of Sales – Service Robots

As the Director of Sales for Service Robots, your main role is to build a successful sales organization within a technology division that acts and feels like a startup. This is a strategic leadership role responsible for developing targeted sales strategies, consultative selling robotics solutions, driving revenue growth, and managing a small performance‑driven sales team. The position typically requires a combination of technical acumen and proven business development and sales skills.

In the early phase, this is a hands‑on, player‑coach role where the Director of Sales will personally lead and close deals while building the foundation for a scalable sales organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Sales Strategy: Identify SMEs and large enterprise customers who are early adopters of technology innovation, define and implement go‑to‑market strategic sales plans to expand market presence and achieve sales targets.
• Team Management: Lead, coach, and scale sales teams, setting performance metrics and providing feedback.
• Business Development: Identify new opportunities, knock on doors, manage key accounts, and build long‑term partnerships with clients and integrators.
• Operational Excellence: Optimize sales processes, manage substantial sales budgets, and ensure effective utilization of CRM systems (like HubSpot).
• Market Insight: Conduct market research, stay informed on industry trends, and represent the company at conferences, trade shows and events.
• Technical Collaboration: Work closely with engineering and technical support team to share customer feedback and translate customer needs and product requirements into customized and compelling service robotics solutions.

Daily Activities

• Lead the full sales organization, including team leads, account executives, and customer success specialists.
• Build go-to-market sales strategies, understand competition and product differentiation, develop sales playbook, and pricing alignment.
• Assign sales targets across groups and individuals; monitor daily progress, monthly reports, and quarterly forecasts.
• Drive performance through lead follow‑up discipline — all new leads must receive a response within one business day.
• Review sales pipeline health, conversion metrics, and deal velocity weekly to identify bottlenecks or wins.
• Participate in closing key strategic deals; guide contract negotiation and solution presentation.
• Collaborate with leads of Business Development and Marketing on feedback loops for lead quality, messaging alignment, and campaign ROI.
• Ensure accurate CRM usage, data collection, and documentation to support reliable forecasting.
• Turn data and market insights into sales execution and implementation.
• Report performance to executive leadership; help shape compensation plans, incentive programs, and hiring needs.

Experience and Qualifications

• Experience: 7+ years of progressive solution sales or business development experience, with at least 3-4 years in a leadership role, preferably in selling complex, capital‑intensive technology solutions.
• Target industries: hospitality, retail, airports, entertainment and sport facilities, education, hospitals, cleaning companies, residential and office buildings, warehouses, and logistics.
• Education: Post secondary degree, or a related technical field is required, with an MBA being a plus.
• Skills: Proven ability to sell solutions and ROI (not products), navigate complex sales cycles, excellent communication and negotiation skills, and a strong combination of commercial and technical acumen.
• Travel: Willingness and ability to travel for client meetings, trade shows, and business purposes is standard.

Salary Expectation and Extra Bonus

Salary for this position can range between $120,000 and $140,000 annually, health benefits, plus an attractive % in performance commission (uncapped opportunity to make more money) based on milestones such as revenue, margin, signing up new customers.
