Solutions Account Manager

Introduction

Slip Robotics is a venture-backed, supply chain robotics startup that provides robots-as-a-service for automated truck loading unloading in under 5 minutes. 23% of a truck driver’s workday is typically wasted idling and waiting for their truck to be loaded/unloaded at a dock, while forklift drivers face constant pressure to quickly load/unload freight despite the high risks of damage and injury. SlipBots auto-load/unload all types of trucks in less than 5 minutes to increase safety, speed, and savings across the supply chain. Slip is headquartered in Atlanta, GA, and serves multiple Fortune 500 customers in 24/7 production manufacturing and logistics operations throughout North America. We’re looking for motivated people to join our team to help fuel our growth and modernize the supply chain.
