At RobCo, we develop AI-powered robotic systems that make industrial processes more autonomous, efficient, and scalable. Our Autonomous Manufacturing Platform combines modular industrial hardware with physical AI, enabling rapid deployment and continuous optimization in real production environments.

With locations in Munich, San Francisco, and Austin, and backed by leading investors such as Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation, and Sequoia, we are working to redefine industrial automation

At RobCo, we automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary. To achieve this, we are looking for an ambitious Partner Manager to help us establish RobCo as leading provider of automation solutions.

As a Partner Manager at RobCo, you'll be the driving force behind building and scaling our partner network in the United States. You will identify and develop new business opportunities, nurture and strengthen existing partnerships, and contribute significantly to revenue growth in the US.

At RobCo, you are part of a highly innovative robotics manufacturer that designs, develops, and builds its own modular industrial robots from the ground up. That means you have direct access to the people, technology, and know-how behind the product — enabling you to build a powerful partner ecosystem without the limitations of off-the-shelf systems.

You will report to the Director of Global Channel & Alliances, work closely with our revenue team, and develop a multi-tiered partner network consisting of System Integrators, Referral, and Channel Partners. You will have full creative freedom to think strategically, identify new partners, and build partnerships that demonstrate the power and flexibility of modular robotics.

For the US position, Austin, Texas is the ideal location, but we also accept applications from all other US states with remote work options.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Strategic business development – Build and scale a powerful, multi-tier partner network to drive sustainable revenue growth in the United States
• Partner enablement – Onboard, train, and enable partners to successfully market and implement RobCo solutions
• Holistic partner management – Develop and manage partner and end-customer projects together with partners throughout all phases of the sales cycle, from initial engagement to close
• Market and competitive analysis – Identify new opportunities, trends, and strategic partners to proactively guide partner strategy
• Goal-oriented pipeline management – Own partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue targets, precisely manage sales opportunities, opportunity management, forecasting, and reporting in close alignment with the Sales Leadership team

Gather insights – Capture partner and customer feedback and feed it directly into product and partner development for continuous improvement
