Sales Manager (m/f/x) - #2758414

Our Mission

At Circus (Xetra: CA1), headquartered in Munich, we are pioneering global developments in on-demand autonomous food production. Everything from creation to production and operation – enabled by seamlessly integrated cutting-edge robotics and transformative AI technology.

Our robots serve fresh food across every format — from full autonomous kitchens producing complete meals, to compact blend bars turning out fresh smoothies, soups and shakes in under two minutes from a single square meter. Staff-free, around the clock, wherever people need it.

Our foundation rests in the extensive developments of groundbreaking robotics driven by artificial intelligence, previously the missing link in achieving true autonomous food automation. This is the moment for a new status quo: just as autonomous driving will disrupt how we build cities, organize our days, and live our lives, so will we shift our whole reality around food.

Our Team is backing a paradigm shift in one of humanity’s most important sectors with the sharpest minds in Robotics, AI, Engineering and Culinary, collaborating closely with industry-leading partners to revolutionize every aspect of the food service experience.

Join us as we forge ahead, crafting a future where the art of cooking and the science of technology converge to create a world that thinks differently about food than it has for thousands of years — a world where food means something new.

About The Role

At Circus, we’re building physical AI robotics that produce food autonomously, and our sales pipeline is how that technology reaches the market.

As Sales Manager, you’ll open conversations with new prospects, build pipeline across sectors that haven’t worked with autonomous food robotics before, and close the deals you create. You’ll run live demos for prospects in our Munich showroom, from operations teams to decision-makers, and work with Marketing to open new lead channels.

This is a high-ownership role. You bring a proven track record in sales, know what outbound feels like, and use AI and data to work smarter, not just harder. Here you’ll own your deals from first call to signature and grow your scope as you deliver.

• Negotiate offers and close deals, taking ownership of your numbers
• Develop sector-specific outreach, using AI tools for account research, personalization and prospecting at scale
• Work closely with our Marketing team on lead generation campaigns and help build out digital lead-gen channels
