Enterprise Account Executive, Commercial & Defense

Build the Path Forward At Path Robotics, we’re building the future of embodied intelligence. Our AI-driven systems enable robots to adapt, learn, and perform in the real world closing the skilled labor gap and transforming industries. We go beyond traditional methods, combining perception, reasoning, and control to deliver field-ready AI that is risk-aware, reliable, and continuously improving through real-world use. Big, hard problems are our everyday work, and our team of intelligent, humble, and driven people make the impossible possible together. In this role, you will focus on finding and closing deals with a select group of top manufacturers, across both our commercial and defense businesses. These companies make decisions that involve teams across manufacturing, welding, quality, operations, safety, IT, finance, and leadership. You will create account strategies, build trust both on the shop floor and in the boardroom, and guide deals from the first plant tour to a signed order. Deals are typically worth millions and often lead to expansion across multiple sites. What You'll Do • You will manage a specific enterprise territory. Your job includes creating and carrying out account plans for a few large manufacturers, mapping opportunities across different plants, business units, and product lines. • You will handle the entire sales process. This includes finding prospects, qualifying leads, working with Solutions Engineering to define needs, building the business case, negotiating, and closing deals all the way to a signed order and funded deployment. • You will build the business case by turning data like throughput, labor, scrap, rework, and cycle time into an ROI model that plant managers trust and CFOs approve. • You will work with a large buying committee, connecting with everyone from the shop floor to top executives. Find the key decision maker early and manage supporters, blockers, and the complex procurement process typical of Fortune 500 companies. • You will negotiate commercial terms, working with GTM Ops on pricing, deployment milestones, acceptance criteria, performance metrics, and multi-cell rollouts. You should be able to handle most terms without needing to escalate every detail. • You will run capture, not just sales, on government opportunities. Shape requirements early, build teaming and prime relationships, and align a deal to a funded program rather than waiting for an RFP to appear. What you will bring • 8+ years of enterprise B2B sales with a consistent record of carrying and hitting a quota on complex, long-cycle deals. • Proven Seven-Figure Deal Experience: Demonstrated track record of personally creating, managing, and closing complex $1M+ enterprise opportunities, with experience navigating long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles. • A background in capital equipment or automation is important. This could include r obotics, machine tools, industrial automation, capital projects, or Robotics-as-a-Service—anything that involves implementation, an acceptance process, and a payback period. • You are able to think strategically even when things are unclear. You know how to choose the best accounts, plan long-term relationships, and turn down deals that will not scale. • Experience selling the RaaS model - able to navigate complex conversations and overcome objections from enterprise customers with long histories of purchasing capital equipment. • You do not need to be an engineer, but you should be comfortable discussing topics like cycle time, fixturing, part tolerance, and throughput. You should also know when to involve Sales Engineering. • Enterprise Multi-Threading: Proven ability to build relationships and drive alignment across Engineering, Operations, Manufacturing, IT/Security,
