Our Mission: At Sunrise Robotics, we are dedicated to augmenting humanity through intelligent robotics. Our mission is to elevate the world of manufacturing by introducing intelligent, flexible robots that enhance human capabilities and existing machinery, ushering in the next era of production at higher quality, with less waste, and lower cost.

Our Vision: We see a future where every element of manufacturing, from design to assembly, is optimised with intelligent automation. Our vision is to integrate flexible robotic solutions, based on generic hardware and advanced software/AI capabilities, into manufacturing, particularly in small and medium-sized enterprises, to make automation economically viable and accessible, for all sizes of manufacturers. We are not just building robots; we are creating the strategically crucial components for autonomous, intelligent agents of the future.

The Role: As an Account Executive, you will drive Sunrise Robotics' expansion across the European manufacturing sector.

This is a senior, high-impact role where you'll leverage your established relationships and deep manufacturing expertise to build our presence in high-mix, low-volume production environments.

• Develop deep understanding of customer production challenges and articulate how Sunrise's robotic cells deliver measurable ROI.

Who You Are:

• A seasoned sales professional with 8-10+ years of proven success selling complex solutions to European manufacturers.
• Well-connected within the European manufacturing sector, with established relationships and a strong network.
• A self-starter with a demonstrated track record of self-generated pipeline development that exceed the quote consistently.
• Deeply knowledgeable about European manufacturing operations, buying processes, and decision-making structures.
• Familiar with long sales cycles typical in manufacturing, yet focused on shortening them by proving value early and aligning around ROI.

Good to Have:

• Knowledge of robotics, automation, or manufacturing technology.
• Experience working with or selling into manufacturing environments, ideally across high-mix, low-volume production.
• Experience successfully handing over customers to post-sales teams.
• Understanding of AI-driven or vision-based systems in manufacturing.
• Experience selling to mid-sized manufacturers or family-owned industrial businesses.
• Background in solution selling or consultative technical sales.
