You also monitor the tech partner’s involvement against agreed development milestones. \nTravel expectation is 25%-30%\nKey Qualifications:\n15+ years of total professional experience, including multiple years in a technology partnerships role covering this full scope: landscape mapping, partner selection, business case, commercial model and roadmap execution. \nExperience in robotics, physical AI, warehouse automation, software/AI platforms, supply chain software and technical depth to judge technical fit and integration effort for hardware and software partners. \nA track record of partnerships you originated that reached launch and delivered measurable revenue or capability. \nDirect experience working with CEOs and founders of partner companies and negotiating at that level. \nExperience presenting strategy and partnership recommendations to executive management (EMT or equivalent) in a current or recent role. \nStrong commercial and financial skills: sizing revenue, margin and ROI, and structuring commercial models such as reseller, OEM, revenue share or co-development. \nExperience setting up partnership governance and working across Product, Engineering, Legal, Sales and Finance. \nSelf-sufficient and comfortable owning work end to end with little direction, in a matrixed international company. \nClear written and spoken communication, with the judgment to give a firm go or no-go. \nWe Offer:\nAutoStore believes in taking care of employees and is dedicated to providing a supportive and rewarding work environment.
