About the role

Aptiv’s Adjacent Market sales team is seeking a Defense Drones & Robotics Sales Director to lead quota-bearing growth across robotics, UAVs, and unmanned systems. You will own pipeline, penetrate new markets, and drive growth with a full-solution mindset—hardware, software, and services. You will engage senior leaders, orchestrate cross-functional resources, and manage opportunities end-to-end from pipeline creation to quarterly closures. Travel across the USA is required.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
