About Us:

Kenexai is an emerging AI consulting and services firm helping industrial enterprises unlock measurable outcomes through AI-automation, advanced analytics and data-driven transformation.

Department: Sales and Marketing

Job Type : Full Time
Preferred Immediate Joiner

Job Location: United States (Remote with Travel)

Roles and Responsibility :

We’re looking for a driven, entrepreneurial Outside Sales Representative to help scale our U.S. presence in the manufacturing vertical. This is a hands-on, hunter role ideal for someone who thrives in startup environments, where there’s no brand recognition and every conversation counts.

You’ll be responsible for generating demand, opening new doors, and converting opportunities into long-term consulting partnerships. Success in this role means building trust quickly, translating manufacturing pain points into KenexAI solutions, and hustling to grow pipeline from scratch.

• Drive net-new client acquisition in the manufacturing space with minimal brand awareness and yet will have marketing support
• Develop and execute your own territory and outreach plan, including cold prospecting, referrals, and networking
• Position KenexAI’s consulting services and accelerators as high-value solutions for targeted business improvement opportunities
• Collaborate closely with delivery leads to craft custom proposals and solution roadmaps
• Engage senior-level buyers across operations, digital, and IT to understand needs and shape value-driven conversations
• Attend industry events, participate in thought leadership, and create visibility for KenexAI in target accounts
• Own full sales cycle and pipeline management, maintaining accuracy in CRM and forecast reporting

Skill Requirement:

• 5+ years of outside sales experience in consulting, digital transformation, or advanced data & AI services
• Experience selling into manufacturing clients and understanding of key operational pain points
• Proven track record of building pipeline and closing deals without the support of a major brand
• Self-starter with a high tolerance for ambiguity and an entrepreneurial approach to prospecting and deal creation
• Strong communication and storytelling skills—able to simplify complex solutions for business buyers
• Willingness to travel up to 50% across the U.S.

Preferred Qualifications :

• Background in or exposure to sectors such as industrials, automotive, CPG, or high-tech manufacturing
• Familiarity with selling AI, analytics, or cloud data solutions in a services context
• Experience working in or with early-stage startups or boutique consulting firms

Why Kenexai?

• Be part of building something from the ground up in a high-growth, high-impact domain
• Work alongside passionate experts in AI, data, and industry consulting
• Competitive base + uncapped commission structure tied directly to performance
• Remote-first flexibility with real ownership and career growth potential
• The company provides comprehensive health insurance coverage including medical, dental, and vision benefits for eligible employees.
• Employees are eligible for 10 to 20 days of paid time off per year, depending on their role and tenure with the company. In addition, the company provides 8 to 12 paid public holidays annually, based on the official holiday calendar.

Real pleasure consulting with Kenexai to set up our company's entire data warehouse and dashboards on AWS. I will definitely be reaching out to them for future work to be done. Our project was effective and 100% achieved what I planned to do in the beginning, in a shorter time frame and with less effort than I expected.

CCR Data perform complex data migrations, we needed and extra pair of hands to restore an Oracle database and transfer the data to a Microsoft SQL database ready for our migration analysts to do their stuff. Nitesh was able to make available at short notice one of their team who was able to see the project through from start to finish. We would not hesitate in recommending or using Kenexai again and would be happy to outsource bigger projects to them in the future.
