Global Solutions Manager

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 4000 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. Theyve had three failed attempts at automating a deep bin-picking task with traditional vision systems. You walk them through GRIIPs CAD-to-pick workflow pulling up a live Rapid Operator AI demo and showing 99% first-pick accuracy on parts that look almost identical to theirs. The robotics engineer is skeptical about occlusion handling in deep bins you address it directly with technical specifics then pivot to the payback model. The ops VP leans in when you show sub-two-year ROI on a two-shift line. You leave with a proof-of-concept scoped and a next step on the calendar.

By mid-morning youre on Slack with three sales reps across different regions one in Germany needs help positioning GRIIP against a competitors vision system for an industrial machinery account; another in the US wants qualification criteria for a CPG prospect whos asking about lights-out operation. You answer both in minutes this is the muscle the playbook youre building will eventually put in every reps hands without needing you in the room.

After lunch you join a call with Ventions Head of Product and two product managers. Youve been tracking a recurring objection in A&D: customers want traceability logging at the grasp level for quality assurance. Youve heard it in four deals this quarter. Today youre presenting the pattern the revenue at stake and a proposed positioning response while the roadmap team assesses feasibility. This is the loop that makes the product better and your deals easier.

You end the day preparing for next weeks site visit to a CPG plant in the Midwest a strategic account the regional rep has been working on for six months. Youre joining for the final technical evaluation. You review the plant layout the parts they need to pick and the competitive alternatives on the table. Tomorrow you board a flight. By Thursday you expect a purchase order.
