  • 7+ years of experience in account management, business development, or enterprise sales within industrial automation, IoT, robotics, or safety-critical technology sectors.

  • Proven success managing large territories and key accounts — including both customer acquisition and growth.

  • Strong experience selling integrated hardware/software solutions and communicating complex technical value propositions.

  • Demonstrated ability to build and grow enterprise-level relationships and navigate multi-stakeholder sales cycles.

  • Consistent record of exceeding quota in complex, technical sales environments.

  • Skilled in regional territory planning, pipeline development, and strategic account management.

  • Exceptional communication and negotiation skills, with comfort engaging senior executives and technical buyers alike.

  • Proficiency with CRM systems, Excel, and sales analytics tools.

  • Entrepreneurial, self-directed, and comfortable working independently while collaborating with cross-functional leadership.
