Account Manager

Perceptual Robotics utilises ground-breaking, automated AI & Machine Learning technology to safely identify and predict operation-critical maintenance & repair needs for wind farm operations. Our technology and innovation is market-leading and truly ground-breaking and offers quantifiable and compelling value for our client base. We are expanding our team to drive and support our rapid growth.

This role has been specifically designed to drive revenue growth in our core markets. Initially, the role will deal with direct sales and partner channel relationships but ultimately will move to solely direct sales as the business grows. The Account Manager will be responsible for leveraging existing and establishing new relationships with key contacts in identified customer groups to secure new and repeat business for the full portfolio of our AI and Machine Learning-driven products and services. As Perceptual Robotics is relatively new-to-market, there will be a significant focus on prospecting, customer education and new customer acquisition although leveraging the existing base to drive additional share of wallet is also a key responsibility.

The initial primary target sector will be the wind industry although the individual will have the opportunity to identify and propose other market sectors in which Perceptual Robotics activities are business critical and to which we can bring significant value. Territory focus will be UK although this is likely to expand to include Europe and from time to time there may be a requirement to support enquiries or events from outside of these territories which may involve a level of international travel.

You will be comfortable operating as an integral part of a committed team where winning together is critical to individual and team success. Our products are leading the market in exciting and dynamic tech and software sectors and at the core of our market differentiation is our innovation.

The successful candidate will join a small, but highly capable team with great links into the industry and who are passionate about creating intelligent robotic solutions. Come and join the team and be part of our journey in an industry that’s making a difference.

We are dedicated to building a workplace of the future and believe in equal opportunities and that diversity drives innovation.
