Full Job Description

Headquartered in Montreal and Berlin, Vention helps manufacturers automate their operations in record time with the only hardware and software AI-powered platform built for the factory floor. Our technology powers over 25,000 machines across 4,000 factories across 5 continents and we have the privilege to work with a significant proportion of Fortune 500 manufacturers, from space rockets, to electrical cars, to robotics. At Vention, you’ll work alongside driven and talented people who care deeply about their craft and the impact they create. We’re a team of high achievers who grow through meaningful work, solving complex challenges, learning fast, and seeing the results of our efforts every day. We move quickly and aim high, but we do it together with care, collaboration, and respect. Our culture celebrates diverse perspectives and supports your growth through intentional development, strong leadership, and opportunities to make a real difference. Manufacturing is at an inflection point. Labor shortages, production variability, and the arrival of production-grade Physical AI are converging — and Vention is leading the charge. We launched Rapid Operator AI at NVIDIA GTC 2026, introduced GRIIP™ to the world, and now operate across 4,000 factories. What we need now is someone who can lead this area of opportunity to global success. This is not a traditional sales role. You are a Physical AI authority embedded across the entire sales force — technically deep enough to architect solutions for a robotics engineer, commercially sharp enough to lead on strategic accounts, and credible enough to move a VP of Operations from curiosity to signed purchase order. A DAY IN THIS ROLE You start the morning on a video call with a process engineering team at a Tier 1 aerospace components manufacturer. They’ve had three failed attempts at automating a deep bin-picking task with traditional vision systems. You walk them through GRIIP™’s CAD-to-pick workflow, pulling up a live Rapid Ope
