As our Welding Sales Manager, youll show shops what cobot welding does for their throughput, quality, and people, and youll own the national welding number. Welding is one of our fastest-growing applications, and youll be the person who helps it grow even faster.

This role is remote within the United States, and we prefer candidates in NYC metro, North Carolina, California, Illinois or Texas. Expect to travel frequently to customer sites, regional teams, trade shows, and partners (~50% domestic travel).
What youll do - Own the welding number. You carry the national quota for welding systems and revenue across direct and partner sales. You build and manage the welding pipeline and forecast with each region, and you measure success by installed, producing systems, not just bookings.
- Partner with Regional Sales Managers. You co-sell welding opportunities with RSMs in every territory, from discovery through close. That means welding-specific discovery, part and joint reviews, and ROI conversations with fabricators. Youll join customer site visits, demos, and weld trials alongside our Welding Applications Engineers, and youll raise the welding knowledge of the broader sales team through training, deal reviews, and ride-alongs.
- Sell direct MIG welding systems. You help shops evaluate cobot MIG welding against their part mix, volumes, and labor constraints, and you lead the proposals, pricing, and negotiation on welding deals.
- You recruit and manage gas and welding distributors as a lead source for Standard Bots welding. You also support partner-built solutions, such as laser welding cells, from the first conversation to repeatable sales.
- Be the voice of the welding customer. You bring field feedback on ease of use, features, and competitive gaps to the welding product team, and you represent Standard Bots at welding and fabrication trade shows and industry events.

Hands-on welding experience. 5+ years in welding sales or welding applications, ideally robotic or automated welding.
- A track record of closing capital equipment deals with manufacturers and fabricators.
- Comfort working as an individual contributor who leads through influence across regional sales teams.
- Willingness to travel frequently to customer sites, trade shows, and partner meetings.

Experience with a welding OEM, welding distributor, or robotic welding integrator.
- Existing relationships with gas and welding distributors.
- AWS certification (CW, CWI, or similar).
- Experience building or managing a channel partner program.
