Who We Are
The mission of Gecko Robotics is to protect today’s critical infrastructure, and give form to tomorrow’s: refineries, power plants, heavy manufacturing facilities, vessels, water storage, and many more. We accomplish this through our robotics platforms in tandem with our enterprise software solutions, creating a virtuous cycle of data acquisition, processing, analysis, and decision-making. Our robots operate in some of the most dangerous industrial environments, collecting data of unprecedented value and magnifying the contributions of human experts, while keeping them out of harm’s way. Gecko is uniquely poised to maximize both the production and the useful life of the assets we rely on to meet the world’s energy needs.
About The Role: Gecko’s robotic solutions improve safety and speed (10x) while gathering more data (1000x) to predict infrastructure failures before they happen. In fact, we believe there isn’t a power plant, refinery, or naval vessel that couldn’t benefit from what we build. At its core, the sales team is responsible for helping customers to reach this belief as well. No one person can do this - it’s a team effort. As such, we are hiring for multiple sales roles at varying levels of experience and customer specialization. If you’re excited by the size of the market opportunity, the boldness of our mission, and the role you could play in it, we want to hear from you. This role will focus on opportunities in our growing Latin American market.
What You’ll Do: Gecko is focused on solving valuable problems for our customers in ways they could not have imagined, let alone accomplished, just a short time ago. We aspire for our customers to experience how Gecko works and say “Wow, we will never do it another way again”. And we’re counting on you to make that happen, in the following ways:
- Working with customers to understand their goals and challenges, and mapping them to Gecko’s unique solutions.
- Prospecting to find new customers that Gecko can help as well as finding new problems to solve at existing customers, resulting in a high-quality sales pipeline.
- Prioritizing your time to focus on the highest-value opportunities, and leverage internal resources and support accordingly.
- Collaborating closely with your colleagues to exceed customer expectations. We need the whole team to come together to solve the customer’s whole problem.
- Learning quickly and being generous with your knowledge. When it comes to shared success, the only secret is that there are no secrets.
Invest to Win: Just as Gecko’s technology is an investment in a safer, more efficient, and more prosperous future, we invest in our people for continuing professional growth. This begins with our structured onboarding program, which is designed to help you ramp up quickly, gain meaningful exposure to our customers, and begin the sales cycle as soon as you’re ready. We are equally committed to continuing education, offering access to a wide range of advanced trainings and industry certifications, as well as a generous allowance for self-directed learning.
