This is a unique opportunity to join a fast‑growing market and work with innovative machine vision and automation solutions.

This strategic role requires significant travel (approximately 50%) across the EMEA region, which includes responsibility for major accounts in Israel. Therefore, convenient access to the airport is preferable. The position can be structured as remote or hybrid, depending on your location relative to one of our offices.

• Systematically map large, global accounts to uncover and capitalise on cross‑divisional opportunities, driving expansion within existing partners.
• Serve as the primary strategic consultant to clients, leveraging deep machine vision expertise to align our technology roadmap with their product development and business goals.
• Cultivate an influential network of executive and engineering relationships, building long‑term strategic relationships within the semiconductor automation ecosystem.

Qualifications

• A minimum of 5‑8 years in a strategic account management or technical sales role, with a proven track record of managing complex, high‑value semiconductor accounts.
• Deep technical knowledge in Machine Vision, Industrial Automation, or a related technology, preferably within the semiconductor industry.
• Demonstrable experience navigating long sales and design‑in cycles with multiple technical and commercial stakeholders.
• Exceptional ability to articulate a compelling technical and business value proposition to both senior engineering and executive‑level audiences.
• A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Automation, or a related technical discipline is strongly preferred.
• A self‑directed and highly autonomous professional, comfortable with ambiguity and skilled in building strategic business plans for a developing territory.

Benefits

• 25 days of vacation
• Up to 32 hours paid time off per year to volunteer with a charity of your choice
• Reward & Recognition scheme – earn points to spend online
• Training and personal development in soft skills and hard skills, access to our internal learning portal and internal career opportunities within Zebra departments
• Annual bonuses based on financial results
• Yearly salary increases according to individual performance
• Employee referral bonus for bringing New Talent to Zebra
• Pension Scheme with a matched contribution up to 7%
• Private medical and dental cover
• Access to an innovative online learning platform
• Cycle to work scheme
• Employee Assistance Program
• Please note that benefits may vary, depending on the country you’re based in.
