Job description
Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.
About the Role
We're hiring a VP of Sales to join our Business Development team based in London. In this role you will take ownership of business development in the Robotics / Warehouse / Logistics and Automotive / Manufacturing verticals. You’ll be at the front line of securing pre-sales, commercial agreements, strategic partnerships, and pre-orders for our robots.
This is a high-impact role for someone hungry to grow quickly, hit ambitious targets, and accelerate their career in robotics and automation.
What You'll Do
Execute ambitious sales strategies targeting Warehouse / Logistics and Automotive / Manufacturing clients.
Drive the full sales cycle: lead generation → pitching → negotiation → contract closure.
Secure pre-sales, commercial agreements, and strategic partnerships for robots still in development.
Develop and deliver compelling business cases & ROI analyses for potential customers.
Build relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders in target industries.
Partner with product & engineering to align solutions with customer needs.
Track market trends and competitor activity to refine go-to-market approaches.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field.
Background in robotics, automation, or advanced manufacturing technologies.
3-5 years’ experience in business development in Robotics/Warehouse/Logistics or Automotive/Manufacturing.
Demonstrated success in reaching or exceeding sales targets, especially with complex or technical products.
Strong network in the relevant industries and a track record of securing strategic partnerships.
Exceptional negotiation, communication, and presentation skills.
Expertise in calculating ROI and developing bulletproof business cases.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a results-driven mindset.
P&L management and financial modeling experience.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
What We Offer
Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.
30+ paid days off, including 23 days of annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas–New Year shutdown).
Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care.
Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.
Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office.
Work at the frontier - collaborate daily with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts building the next generation of AI and humanoid robotics.
Real ownership - direct access to founding leadership, meaningful input on product direction, and the ability to drive key initiatives from day one.
