Chicagoland | Uncapped Earnings | Build Your Territory

Automation Robotics Solutions (ARS), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARi (www.ARiGS.com), is hiring a true sales hunter to dominate the Chicagoland manufacturing market.

We design and build custom, special-purpose automation machines — robotics systems, assembly automation, test systems, and integrated production equipment. Our projects are complex, high-value, and mission-critical to our customers.

This is not an account manager role.
This is not a maintenance role.
This is a build-it, win-it, own-it role.

If you’re a top performer who wants control over your income and territory, keep reading.

• Sell six- and seven-figure custom automation projects
• Target manufacturers across automotive, medical device, industrial equipment, consumer goods, and more
• Work directly with engineering and operations decision-makers
• Own and build the Chicagoland territory
• Unlimited earning potential tied directly to performance

You will be responsible for generating new business, building pipeline, and closing complex capital equipment projects.

Experience & Expectation:

Top 10% performers who:

• Have 5+ years selling capital equipment, engineered systems, automation, robotics, or technical industrial solutions
• Consistently exceed quota
• Open doors without relying on inbound leads
• Are comfortable with 6–12+ month consultative sales cycles
• Can speak credibly with engineers and executives
• Want uncapped income and are willing to bet on themselves

You are competitive.
You hate losing.
You don’t wait for opportunities — you create them.

Compensation

• Strong base salary
• Aggressive, uncapped commission structure
• Significant upside for high performers
• Six-figure earning potential with opportunity to exceed $250K+

If you want a high base and low expectations, this isn’t for you.
If you want upside tied to performance, this is worth a conversation.

Duties & Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute a strategic territory growth plan
• Prospect via plant visits, networking, outbound outreach, and industry events
• Lead technical discovery conversations
• Partner with internal engineering to develop custom proposals
• Close high-value capital equipment projects
• Build long-term customer relationships
