About the role
- Physical AI is our fastest-growing segment.
- Over the past 12 months, we've grown Physical AI revenue 10x.
- This is a full-cycle commercial closing role on the ground floor of one of the most consequential verticals in AI.
Responsibilities
- Own the full sales cycle end-to-end, from outbound through close, with pipeline generation support
- Build deep relationships with technical and executive buyers: heads of autonomy, VP AI, ML engineering leaders, and data operations teams
- Develop a sharp point of view on the Physical AI landscape - understanding where customer pain is sharpest and how Encord's platform delivers measurable impact
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to bring customer insight back into the roadmap
- Forecast accurately, maintain pipeline discipline, and operate with the rigor of someone building something that will outlast them
Nice to have
- Help sharpen the ICP as we expand into new Physical AI use cases and geographies
- A consistent top or near-top performer in your current or most recent sales role
- Comfortable selling technically complex solutions to skeptical, STEM-trained buyers - you don't need to be an engineer, but you can hold the room with one
- Energized by ambiguity and early-stage environments where you have real ownership and real accountability
- A natural relationship builder who earns trust through preparation, follow-through, and genuine curiosity about customer problems
- Entrepreneurial by disposition - you see gaps as opportunities, not blockers
- Resilient, high-output, and genuinely motivated by the quality of your work
- 3 to 7 years in a B2B SaaS or enterprise technology sales role, with a track record of hitting or exceeding quota
