Director Service Accounts (m/f/d)

Director Service Accounts @ Sereact 🦾 Director Service Accounts (m/f/d) · Stuttgart, with frequent travel to customer sites across Europe · Reports to the VP Operations · Full-time Who we are Sereact builds the robot brain for physical work. Cortex, our vision-language-action foundation model, is hardware-agnostic: the same model runs single-arm and dual-arm systems and mobile manipulators that pick, sort and handle returns in live production across Europe and the US. Customers include Zalando, IKEA, BMW, Rohlik and DHL. Founded in 2021 in Stuttgart, with an R&D hub in Zurich and a US office in Boston. We have raised more than $145 million, most recently a Series B led by Headline, with Zalando as a strategic investor. We work in small, senior teams with a flat structure; execution counts more than titles. Why this role, why now The Site Acceptance Test is where a deployment ends and a customer’s operation begins. From that day our robots pick in someone else’s building, every shift, against targets the customer measures. Many of our customers buy Sereact as a service: they pay for robots that work, not for robots that were delivered. Our deployments are growing from single robots to fleets, and the site that performs is the site that grows. We now want one leader who owns every live site from SAT on: keeps it at target, brings it everything we ship in software and hardware, speaks for the customer inside Sereact, and turns a working site into a growing one. The Real-World Learning Loop runs through your sites Cortex learns from live deployments. Every station at a customer is part of that loop, so a station that is down is more than a service problem: a cell sitting dark is a stopped sensor. • In-Situ Policy Execution. Every live station runs the current policy in a real operation. Your surface on it: each site at target, every shift. • Continuous Data Acquisition. Robots annotate their own work while they run. Your surface on it: stations that run and stay connected, so the data keeps coming. • Data Curation and Learning. Failures and edge cases decide what Cortex learns next. Your surface on it: what your sites tell us reaches engineering and research with the context they need. • Evaluation and Policy Redeployment. Updated policies pass validation gates before they return to the fleet. Your surface on it: they land in your customers’ operations on a schedule the customer can plan around, with a way back if something is off. A site that runs well teaches Cortex more, and it grows. Responsibilities • Take over every site at SAT. Set the standard for what a site needs before your team takes it on: documentation, open points, spare parts, contacts and targets. If a site is not ready, it stays with deployment until it is. • Keep every site at target. Own each site’s performance against its contract: availability, throughput and pick success. See a problem coming before the customer does, and run the recovery plan when a site falls behind. • Run planned change. Software releases and model updates reach customer operations in a rhythm customers can plan around: release notes, change windows, blackout periods, validation on site and a rollback path. • Run hardware updates and retrofits across the installed base, from new gripper generations to station upgrades and fixes, with Hardware Engineering and the field teams, without stopping the customer’s operation. • Get every site ready for peak: hypercare and coverage plans for the weeks that matter most to our customers, from Black Friday to the January returns wave. • Be the customer’s advocate inside Sereact. Bring their priorities into product, R&D, hardware and operations, make sure what we promised at SAT holds, and own the customer communication when something goes wron
