Key Responsibilities Business Development & Account Management Identify, target, and develop new customer relationships across Sapience's core industries and core application focuses, targeting larger and strategic accounts.

Customer Relationship & Strategic Positioning Build deep, trust-based relationships with key decision-makers — including engineering managers, operations directors, plant managers, and procurement leadership. Serve as the voice of the customer internally, ensuring that project teams understand customer priorities and expectations throughout the project lifecycle. Support customer onboarding and post-sale relationship management to ensure satisfaction, drive referrals, and establish long-term partnerships. Maintain awareness of competitor activity, market trends, and emerging automation technologies to inform Sapience's positioning and go-to-market strategy. Reporting & CRM Management Maintain accurate, up-to-date opportunity records, account information, and sales activity in the company CRM system. Provide regular pipeline reports, forecast updates, and market intelligence to sales leadership. Qualifications Required 5+ years of demonstrated success in industrial sales, with consistent achievement of revenue targets. Direct experience selling robot automation, custom machine systems, or systems integration services. Experience selling capital equipment, engineered systems, or automation solutions to manufacturing customers. Strong technical aptitude with the ability to understand and discuss robotic systems, manufacturing processes, and automation applications at a meaningful level.

Self-motivated, disciplined, and capable of managing a complex sales pipeline with multiple simultaneous opportunities. Proficiency with CRM tools and standard business software (Microsoft Office Suite). Willingness to travel to customer sites, trade shows, and partner locations as required (minimum 50%). Preferred Familiarity with FANUC robotics, vision systems, or industrial automation technologies. Experience selling into automotive, aerospace, or heavy manufacturing environments. Background in engineering (mechanical, electrical, or manufacturing) or equivalent hands-on technical experience. Existing network of manufacturing decision-makers in the region.
