The Opportunity
We are seeking a highly driven, strategic Key Account Manager to lead our expansion within the Oil, Gas, and Chemical industries. In this pivotal role, you will be at the forefront of category creation—introducing groundbreaking robotic inspection and maintenance solutions to offshore and onshore operations.

If you have a relentless builder mindset, deep sector knowledge in O&G, and the executive presence to influence C-level decision-makers, you will play a crucial role in scaling our commercial success and transforming industrial plant operations.
The Market & Our Technology
ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the energy, process, and utility sectors by introducing robotics to applications that were previously out of reach. Our customers—large asset operators and industrial service providers—are pioneering the use of robotics for autonomous routine inspections, driving increased safety, productivity, and reduced OPEX. We develop the entire robotic platform, including actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and the AI-driven software that enables world-class mobility and inspection insights. With proven technology and validated business impact, we are scaling up our commercial operations globally.
