Own end-to-end B2B technical sales across the UK and Scandinavia, developing pipeline, acquiring customers, closing opportunities, and meeting revenue targets. Engage operational, engineering, and executive stakeholders to identify automation needs, create ROI-driven proposals, and coordinate tailored solutions with product and engineering teams.

Account Executive – UK & Scandinavia
Role Overview
We are looking for a UK-based Account Executive with strong industry understanding and consultative sales capability to help establish and grow our footprint across the region.
The UK will be the primary focus market, accounting for approximately 70% of the role, while Scandinavia will form the secondary growth region. The role requires regular travel across customer sites, industry events, and partner ecosystems within the territory.
The ideal candidate brings experience in technical B2B sales within logistics automation, robotics, intralogistics, industrial technology, or warehouse solutions. Industry understanding is considered more valuable than generic sales experience, as the role requires engaging in meaningful operational and technical discussions with experienced customers.
Key Responsibilities

Consultative Technical Sales

- Conduct discovery discussions with operational, engineering, and leadership stakeholders
- Work closely with product and engineering teams to develop tailored automation solutions

- Build relationships with channel partners, consultants, integrators, and industry stakeholders
- Represent Unbox Robotics at trade fairs, customer meetings, and logistics events across the region
- Gather competitive intelligence and market insights to support strategic growth initiatives
Internal Collaboration

- Maintain accurate sales forecasting and CRM discipline

Skills

- Ability to engage both technical and business stakeholders
- Structured, disciplined, and proactive approach to sales execution
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced startup environment
- Strong commercial awareness and negotiation capability
Additional Requirements
- Based in the United Kingdom
- Willingness and ability to travel extensively across the UK and Scandinavia
- Valid eligibility to work within the UK and travel across Europe
