Director of Sales; US & Canada

Apera AI—Revolutionizing Industrial Vision

We are an innovative, Vancouver-based startup at the forefront of robotics, AI, and machine vision technologies. Backed by VC funding and recognized with the 2025 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Leadership Award, the AAM Supplier Excellence Innovation Award, and the 2024 BC Tech “Company of the Year – Growth”, we are on a mission to redefine the future of AI‑driven robotic vision systems.

Apera AI helps manufacturers make their factories more flexible and productive. Robots enhanced with Apera’s software have 4D Vision—the ability to see and handle objects with human‑like capability. Challenging applications such as bin picking, sorting, packaging, and assembly are now open to fast, precise, and reliable automation.

Apera AI builds vision systems that let industrial robots see and think with human‑level vision and intelligence. Our technology powers smart factories around the world—from precision automotive assembly to advanced electronics. We’re scaling fast, and our commercial engine needs the same intelligence we build into our robots.

Apera AI is looking for a revenue leader who thrives in the field, not behind a desk or dashboard. As Director of Sales (US & Canada), you’ll own pipeline, forecast, and expansion in a region that’s critical to our next phase of growth.

We need a builder. Someone who can run disciplined weekly sales cadences, coach high‑performance teams, and engage directly with executives at top manufacturing accounts. This is 50% field execution, 50% strategic acceleration. This role will have a seat at the table to shape the future of Apera AI.

• A quota‑carrying leadership seat that mixes coaching with conquest
• Deep customer visibility and strategic deal ownership
• A team that obsesses over pipeline discipline, not pipeline drama
• A real shot at VP‑level responsibility (18‑24 months)

• Achieve 100%+ revenue targets
• Be on‑site with customers 3–4 days a week (3 out of every 4 weeks)
• Coach SAMs and BDMs on customer qualification, progression, and expansion
• Run tight weekly deal clinics and activity audits
• Drive CRM accuracy and forecast precision
