Job title
Business Development Specialist
Overview
“We innovate kitchens with robotics and contribute to resolving the worker shortage problem in the food industry”
The food industry in Japan is facing a serious shortage of workers. In fact, many restaurants close down because they can’t find enough people to work for them. Some try to shorten business hours to remedy this, but we all need a more fundamental solution to the problem.
Our robots are saviors to the industry. In Connected Robotics, we develop robotic systems to help people cook and wash dishes in restaurants and homes.
As a business development specialist, you will be in charge of business development in general. Your role will include the following:
- Project management for newly developed robots
- Customer relationship and schedule management
- Building strategies and scalable business models
- Opening new stores and managing/supervising sales figures
- Supporting delivery of robots
- Building customer success department and supporting customers
- Managing our financial figures and annual schedules
- Patent filing
- Acting as a media outlet
Realizing RaaS
We aim to grow our business as RaaS (Robotics as a Service). Unlike the conventional way to sell robots with an integrated system, we rent out our robots as service packages like SaaS in software field. Sales is not over when we deliver the robot, nor is it just about updates and maintenances; it’s important that we accompany our customers, caring if their revenue has also increased from the introduction of our robots.
