Job Title
This role exists to grow our revenue in Germany and the wider German-speaking market. You'll own the full sales cycle, from finding and qualifying opportunities through to closing and growing key accounts, and you'll be the face of Perceptual Robotics for wind operators, service providers and OEM partners across the region. As business needs evolve you may take on other markets.
We're new to the German market, so the weight of the role sits on prospecting, customer education and winning new customers. Growing existing accounts matters too. Wind is the starting sector, and you'll help us find where else we can bring value. This suits someone who wants to build a market close to the ground, backed by a company with proven traction and a strong product.
Winning New Business (the priority)
- Prospect and self-source opportunities: wind asset owners, ISPs and OEMs
- Run outbound outreach and qualify inbound leads from Marketing
- Educate a market that's new to autonomous inspection
Closing
- Own demos, proposals, negotiation and close, across unit sales, inspection services and subscriptions, including tenders
- Hit monthly, quarterly and annual targets
