Summary Generated by Built In

Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

About the Role

We're hiring a VP of Sales to join our Business Development team based in the United States. In this role you will take ownership of business development in the Robotics / Warehouse / Logistics and Automotive / Manufacturing verticals. You’ll be at the front line of securing pre-sales, commercial agreements, strategic partnerships, and pre-orders for our robots.
This is a high-impact role for someone hungry to grow quickly, hit ambitious targets, and accelerate their career in robotics and automation.

 
What You'll Do
  • Execute ambitious sales strategies targeting Warehouse / Logistics and Automotive / Manufacturing clients.

  • Drive the full sales cycle: lead generation → pitching → negotiation → contract closure.

  • Secure pre-sales, commercial agreements, and strategic partnerships for robots still in development.

  • Develop and deliver compelling business cases & ROI analyses for potential customers.

  • Build relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders in target industries.

  • Partner with product & engineering to align solutions with customer needs.

  • Track market trends and competitor activity to refine go-to-market approaches.

 
What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field.

  • Background in robotics, automation, or advanced manufacturing technologies.

  • 3-5 years’ experience in business development in Robotics/Warehouse/Logistics or Automotive/Manufacturing.

  • Demonstrated success in reaching or exceeding sales targets, especially with complex or technical products.

  • Strong network in the relevant industries and a track record of securing strategic partnerships.

  • Exceptional negotiation, communication, and presentation skills.

  • Expertise in calculating ROI and developing bulletproof business cases.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a results-driven mindset.

  • P&L management and financial modeling experience.

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

 
What We Offer
  • Comprehensive health coverage for US‑based employees, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, with virtual care and employee assistance resources.

  • Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of PTO (accrued), separate sick leave, and paid company holidays.

  • 401(k) retirement plan with 4% employer match.

  • Equity included–we believe builders should share in what they build.

  • Free daily catered lunch, snacks, and drinks in‑office.

  • Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.

For this role in the United States, the expected base salary range is $180,000-$250,000 USD per year + Sales Incentives; your placement in that range depends on geographical location and how your experience maps to our internal leveling.
