CUSTOMER SERVICE ACCOUNT MANAGER, WAREHOUSE AUTOMATION (EXPANSION SALES)

Remote, US | Swisslog

Walk the floor. Own the accounts. Grow the business.

Most account manager jobs come with a headset and a ticket queue. This one comes with a hard hat, a customer who trusts you, and a warehouse that could be moving a lot more.

Swisslog is growing its installed-base business and hiring a Customer Service Account Manager to own a pod of strategic accounts: well-known brands that already run Swisslog automation and want more from it. Your job is Total Customer Care. Know their operation, spot where throughput is being left on the table, and turn it into upgrades, modifications and expansions. Deals typically run from $10K to a couple of million dollars.

This is not a PO desk. It's not cold-call hunting either. It's the sweet spot: customers who already know Swisslog, systems you can walk through, and a business case you build in person.

THE DAY-TO-DAY:

- Own a portfolio of strategic Swisslog customer sites and the relationships behind them

- Walk the floor: visit sites, learn how the operation runs, and find the changes that lift throughput

- Manage service and support contracts end to end: proposals, negotiation, renewals and upgrades

- Be the customer's voice inside Swisslog, and explain the tough bits clearly, within the contract, when the answer isn't the one they hoped for

- Partner with engineering, service and sales to scope and deliver solutions

- Draft proposals and contract documents clear enough to survive a customer's legal team

- Own the numbers: service revenue against your accounts' targets

YOU'RE OUR PERSON IF:

- You know warehouse automation or intralogistics from the inside, whether on the integrator, OEM, vendor or end-user side (AS/RS, shuttles, conveyors, sortation, AGV/AMR)

- You've spent real time on customer sites: scoping, go-live, ramp-up or support

- You've owned something: a project, an initiative, a site (direct reports not required)

- You communicate clearly, write well, and stay calm when the news is awkward

- You want a career in enterprise sales and you're ready to earn it

- You have a bachelor's degree in business, engineering, supply chain or a related field, or equivalent experience

Backgrounds that fit: solutions, application and sales engineers; project, implementation and customer success professionals at integrators; account managers ready for their next step; automation leaders from end-user operations.

Helpful extras: familiarity with SAP or a similar ERP, and exposure to budgets or P&L.

WHERE IT GOES:

Start here. Learn Swisslog's technology, customers and processes. As results build, move into a pure sales role within the CS group. Top performers have a route into integrated system sales. Progression depends on performance and business needs, but the path is real.

WHAT YOU GET:

- Remote within the US, with 30-40% travel to customer sites

- A manager who is a seasoned automation sales leader

- Real automation at real scale, and a seat at the table when customers decide what to build next

HOW IT WORKS:

Four steps, no mystery: a conversation with a recruiter, a short screen with Swisslog, a first-stage interview, and a final conversation with the hiring leader.

Curious? Apply, or message me, Gideon Sam directly. Confidential conversations welcome.

Regional Sales Manager - West Coast

Direct Sales | LOGIMAT Vertical Lift Module | SSI SCHAEFER

We build the machines. You build the territory.

SSI SCHAEFER has been engineering warehouses for 87 years. Family owned. Financially independent. Not the kind of company that reinvents its values every time the market has a bad quarter. And right now, we're rebuilding our West Coast direct sales territory, and we're looking for the person who wants to be the one who builds it.

This isn't a "join our fast-paced, dynamic team" job ad. It's a real seat, with a real number attached to it, and a real reason it's open: we need someone who knows how to go find business, not wait for it to show up.

What you'll be doing

Selling the LOGIMAT Vertical Lift Module, a genuinely impressive piece of engineering that turns underutilised warehouse space into serious storage capacity, direct to end customers. No dealer layer, no shared commission, no middleman relationship. You run the whole cycle: find the account, understand the problem, build the case, close it.

This isn't small-ticket transactional selling. It's consultative, technical, and it rewards someone who thinks in terms of real engineered solutions, not just line items.

What we need from you

Be honest with yourself about this one: can you generate your own pipeline? Cold call, prospect, target the right accounts, build something from nothing? That's the actual job. Everything else - the product knowledge, the technical side - we can get you up to speed on fast if you've got any background in material handling, industrial equipment, or complex capital equipment sales (medical, pharma, anything with a real sales cycle and real stakes).

If your last few roles lived off inbound leads and warm accounts someone else built, this probably isn't the one. If you've opened new territory before and liked it, this is exactly that, at scale.

Why this is worth your time

We're hiring now. If you're the kind of person who's already thinking about how you'd attack this territory, that's exactly who we want to hear from.

What you'll need

The standard stuff, because it matters

SSI SCHAEFER is 8,600 people across 80 operating companies and 7 production sites worldwide. We've been named a Best Places to Work™ several years running, and we back that up with real benefits: 401(k) with match, strong PTO, and generous medical coverage. We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Ready to build something real? Let's talk.
