About Accenture and the Physical AI Team

Accenture's Supply Chain & Engineering team helps clients transform how physical operations are designed, simulated, automated, operated and continuously improved. Our Physical AI portfolio spans strategy and operating model, digital twins and simulation, robotics intelligence and training, orchestration, industrial integration and managed operations across manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and other asset-intensive environments.

The Work:

The Robotics Services Sales Senior Manager originates, shapes and closes robotics automation and robotics-services opportunities within Accenture's broader Physical AI portfolio. The role requires a working understanding of the full Physical AI transformation, from strategy and simulation through robotics intelligence, orchestration and managed operations, combined with deep specialization in robotics automation, autonomous systems, fleet operations and production deployment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute a robotics-services sales strategy across priority accounts and industries, aligned to the broader Physical AI portfolio and client transformation agenda.
• Build and manage a qualified pipeline across industrial robotics, collaborative robots, AMRs/AGVs, mobile manipulation, machine vision, robotic material handling, inspection, intralogistics and autonomous operations.
• Identify and qualify opportunities based on operational pain points such as labor constraints, throughput, cycle time, quality, safety, uptime, fleet utilization, material flow and cost per task or movement.
• Build trusted relationships with operations, manufacturing, engineering, automation, supply chain, warehouse, technology and executive stakeholders.
• Lead robotics pursuits from discovery and qualification through value case, solution shaping, ecosystem strategy, proposal, commercials, negotiation, contracting and delivery transition.
• Serve as the robotics and automation domain sales lead in broader Physical AI pursuits involving digital twins, simulation, AI training, orchestrators, industrial data, edge platforms and managed operations.
• Work with solution and technical architects to shape scalable robotics roadmaps covering pilot, production deployment, multi-site rollout, lifecycle support and operating model.
• Develop commercial constructs spanning consulting, systems integration, platform-enabled services, managed robotics operations, Robotics-as-a-Service and outcome-linked services.
• Ensure proposals address automation feasibility, site readiness, safety, IT/OT integration, partner and hardware responsibilities, business value, deployment risk and scale pathway.
• Create executive presentations, workshop materials, proposals, demonstrations, case studies and reusable sales assets that connect robotics capabilities to measurable business outcomes.
• Develop joint go-to-market motions and co-sell opportunities with robotics OEMs, AMR and fleet providers, vision and sensing vendors, automation companies, NVIDIA, cloud and edge providers, and industrial software partners.
• Maintain disciplined pipeline management, forecast accuracy, pursuit governance, win/loss learning and transition quality.
• Convert successful robotics engagements into repeatable offerings, credentials, reference patterns and scaled client programs.

Physical AI Breadth and Robotics Specialization

The role must understand how robotics services fit within an end-to-end Physical AI transformation while bringing deep robotics automation expertise. Working understanding across Physical AI: Enterprise strategy and operating model; digital twins; discrete-event and physics-based simulation; synthetic data and robot training; robotics intelligence; orchestration; industrial data; edge/cloud platforms; managed operations and outcome-based services. Deep specialization in robotics automation: Industrial robots, cobots, AMRs/AGVs, mobile manipulation, vision-guided automation, robot cells, controls integration, fleet operations, safety, commissioning, production support and multi-site scale.

Specialist role in broader pursuits: Translate the robotics portion of a Physical AI agenda into a value case, solution scope, partner model, commercial construct, deployment roadmap and scalable operating service.
