About Procense
Procense.ai is building the next leader in industrial automation — starting with process manufacturers. From food and pharmaceuticals to chemicals and personal care, process manufacturers produce the essential goods that power our daily lives. Yet many of these operations still rely on outdated, paper-based, and legacy systems for managing production and quality.
Procense is changing that. We're building an AI-powered software and industrial-grade IoT platform that helps manufacturers modernize how they collect, analyze, and act on critical production and quality data — resulting in faster production, improved efficiency, and higher quality.
We're gaining real traction:
- Pre-seed round led by Kevin Mahaffey (Business Insider's #1 Seed Investor of 2025) and HighSage Ventures
- Post product-market fit with marquee enterprise customers including Tyson Foods, J&J, and Dr. Squatch
- Bootstrapped ARR with a fast-growing pipeline of 6-figure deals
About the Role
The ADR role is the launching point for a high-growth career in enterprise SaaS sales. You'll be at the front of Procense's go-to-market strategy — hunting for leads, mapping manufacturing accounts, and building demand for our AI-powered production and quality platform across process manufacturers nationwide.
This is a volume-first role. You'll make 80+ calls a day to operations leaders, plant managers, and VPs of Manufacturing — every day. But the best person for this role doesn't just grind. They also think like a builder, using AI tools and automation to prospect smarter, personalize at scale, and continuously iterate on what's working. If cold calling AND engineering workflows with Claude that cuts your research time in half both sound exciting — you're who we're looking for.
Top performers in this role earn accelerated commissions and have a clear path to a closing Account Executive role within one year.

- Experience selling into manufacturing, industrial, food & beverage, pharma, or supply chain verticals is a plus
