Business Development Director (US Sales)

The Bigger Picture At Andromeda, we're building the social intelligence layer for humanoid robots - technology that allows robots to understand people, build relationships and become a meaningful part of everyday life. Our first robot, Abi, is already doing this in aged care and healthcare, where she brings conversation, companionship and engagement to people every day. Now we're scaling from early deployments into a platform that can operate across thousands of real-world environments. We're looking for individuals who want to tackle hard problems across robotics and AI, and help define what it means for robots to live and interact alongside people. With deployments already underway across leading care providers and backing from investors including Forerunner and Main Sequence, we're entering the next phase of growth. We're looking for leaders who want to solve some of the hardest problems in robotics and AI, and build technology that has a meaningful impact on people's lives. The Role This is a hands-on, execution-first individual contributor role with no direct reports today. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area or Sacramento Area, you will spend time in our San Francisco office (especially during ramp-up). Overall, your time will be split into two main focuses: 80% will be spent driving sales, combining local outreach in the Bay Area/Sacramento with 40–50% travel for client visits, on-site demos, and U.S. industry conferences, while the remaining 20% will involve acting as the "eyes and ears" of the U.S. market, feeding vital operational feedback directly back to our product and engineering teams. If you are someone who loves the chaos of early-stage startups, isn't afraid to roll up your sleeves to make a physical product shine in front of sceptical stakeholders, and knows how to turn a single-facility pilot into a multi-site enterprise rollout, this role is for you. Key Responsibilities Drive Full-Cycle Sales: Own the entire U.S. sales pipeline from cold outreach and initial C-suite engagement to complex multi-stakeholder closing. Target Regional & Multi-Site Operators: Focus on regional senior living operators (Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, and CCRC groups) where you can build consensus with COOs, VPs of Operations, and Clinical Directors. Run High-Impact Demos: Coordinate and execute live, high-stakes hardware demonstrations that clearly communicate both operational efficiency/labor relief and enhanced resident/staff experiences. Navigate Complex Decision-Making Units: Address the distinct concerns of cross-functional stakeholders, balancing financial ROI for CFOs, clinical safety/well-being for Nursing/Care VPs, and workflow feasibility for Executive Directors. Shape the U.S. Playbook: Help us define our initial U.S. packaging, pricing strategies, and pilot frameworks based on real-world market feedback. Partner on customer deployment and early customer success: Support pilot kickoffs and early deployments with Customer Success and Product/Engineering; capture customer feedback and hand off ongoing support to Customer Success. Sales Operations: Maintain accurate CRM records and pipeline hygiene; report weekly against agreed commercial KPIs. Track Record of Enterprise "Hustle": 5+ years of closing experience in B2B enterprise sales, ideally selling innovative technology, workflow automation, or specialized hardware into senior living, healthcare, or complex operational environments. Start-up experience is strongly preferred. Deep Senior Living Industry Fluency Preferred: You already understand how regional senior living operators function, what keeps their COOs up at night (labor shortages, staff turnover, margins), and how decisions are made. Existing relationships with regional operators are a massive plus. Physical Product & Demo Comfort: You aren't just a slide-deck seller. You are comfortable traveling to facilities, handling physical hardware logistics, and leading live customer-facing demos with confidence. The "Land and Expand" Mindset: Proven ability to turn a single-site proof-of-concept into a multi-facility enterprise rollout. Startup DNA: Comfortable with ambiguity, low initial overhead, high autonomy, and doing whatever it takes to get the first U.S. logos on the board. Cross-Geography Collaboration: Strong remote-working discipline and asynchronous communication skills; comfortable maintaining momentum with Australia-based team members. Ground-floor opportunity to shape the commercial trajectory of a cutting-edge humanoid robotics company in the US Meaningful equity ownership as an early commercial team member. Competitive salary and performance-based bonus structure. Direct line to the executive and product teams. The expected base salary range for this role is $160-200k USD + Equity + Bonus + Benefits. Actual compensation will be determined by a variety of factors, including the candidate's job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
