Your Role:

The Sr. Manager, Tech Direct Sales will lead the dual-path market entry for FF's robotics ecosystem. In this role, you will manage direct sales touchpoints to deliver high-impact "Lighthouse" projects, creating the technical and commercial blueprint for our Partner (Par) network. You are not just a seller; you are an ecosystem builder who transforms direct-market intelligence into scalable channel strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Leverage a sharp understanding of user business scenarios to adapt FF's robotics technology, transforming technical strengths into quantifiable commercial value for both direct touchpoints and the wider partner ecosystem.
• Utilize successes from direct sales touchpoints to recruit and vet specialized dealers in key verticals. Translate complex robotics architecture into "Partner-Ready" solution kits to lower the technical barrier for new distributors.
• Act as the primary technical interface for prospective partners. Articulate FF's advantages in edge-computing and safety architecture to eliminate technical and security concerns for enterprise-level deployment.
• Drive the data loop from both direct sales touchpoints and partner deployments. Systematically collect real-world "Corner Cases" to fuel the continuous iteration of FF's Brain and Data Factory.
• Manage the integrated sales funnel, focusing on both direct sales targets and the technical readiness and growth of the authorized partner network.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or above in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field is required.
• Technical Sales Proficiency: 3-5 years of experience in technical sales, solutions architecture, or field application engineering (FAE) within robotics, AI, or intelligent hardware sectors.

Note: We welcome candidates with a strong foundation in embedded systems, MCU architecture, or robotics control who possess a high aptitude for business exploration, solution-oriented problem solving, and technical evangelism.

• Solution Architecture: Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical system architectures (e.g., edge computing, sensor fusion, data privacy protocols) into high-value business solutions for enterprise clients.
• Sales Lifecycle Management: Proven track record in managing end-to-end sales cycles-from technical POC and system integration to commercial contract execution and delivery.
• Data-Driven Intelligence: Ability to identify market gaps, document field-level "Corner Cases," and leverage data analytics to refine sales strategies and support product evolution.
• Communication & Trust Building: Superior ability to bridge the gap between technical engineering teams and C-level stakeholders; expert in articulating FF's safety and compliance architecture to overcome security barriers.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Integration Expertise: Hands-on experience in complex system integration (e.g., API integration, cloud/security/campus management systems).
• Vertical Expertise: Prior success in delivering complex technical projects within high-density public spaces (e.g., smart hospitality, logistics hubs, or large-scale campuses).
• Analytics & Insight: Expert level in utilizing data analytics (CRM/Salesforce) to optimize sales velocity and user experience.
• Security & Compliance Awareness: Deep knowledge of ICTS/supply chain security concerns and the ability to articulate mitigation strategies in AI/Robotics contexts.
• Scalable Enablement: Experience in developing technical training programs or "Sales-in-a-Box" kits for third-party distributors.
• Touchpoint Strategy: Prior success in managing showroom-based sales or experiential marketing projects that drive secondary partner leads.
• Hybrid Channel Management: Familiarity with managing the balance and conflict-resolution between direct and Partner (network sales) channels.
