Keyence is committed to developing the most technologically advanced automation technologies in every market it enters. While our reputation is synonymous with innovative, industry-leading technologies, we consider ourselves first and foremost a sales company. At Keyence, being a sales company encompasses much more than managing distributors or meeting quotas, we pride ourselves on providing consultative services, solving difficult applications, and providing solutions that add value to our customers by solving critical quality control and efficiency problems. Keyence employees in every corporate department share this vision and strive to support customers and salespeople by increasing the capabilities and efficiency of our organization.

To continue our remarkable track record of sales growth and increasing market share, we must continue to serve our existing clients, while also emphasizing the value of demonstrating our products to potential new customers. We strive to offer our products in innovative ways, reach out to new companies, and quickly adapt to emerging markets so that we can stay a step ahead of our competition. Our readiness to change and adapt is one of our core values and we look for candidates who share this fundamental vision. With our successful direct sales strategy, ideal candidates for sales or corporate positions are flexible, goal-oriented individuals who exemplify strong customer service and problem solving skills.

The research, development, and sourcing of our products is overseen by our corporate parent in Japan; therefore, in the United States we typically offer two types of opportunities: Sales and Sales Support. Sales opportunities exist for both experienced sales professionals and motivated college graduates without experience. Candidates with a minimum of 1 to 2 years of relevant sales experience can be hired as Sales Executives, while recipients of bachelor’s degrees looking for entry-level opportunities are invited to join Keyence at the Sales Associate level.

TECHNICAL SALES OPPORTUNITIES

Our sales opportunities are located at our 30+ sales offices located throughout the United States. Experienced sales professionals looking to join a strong sales organization with a world-class support structure and opportunities for advancement may be guaranteed placement in a specific office and product group. With few exceptions, relocation flexibility is absolutely required from entry-level salespeople because office and product group assignment will be made in the second month of our Sales Associate training program. While every effort is made to accommodate preferences, placement of Sales Associates is determined by business need.

SALES SUPPORT AND CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

Sales Support opportunities encompass customer service, technical support, and corporate departments including: marketing, accounting, human resources, infrastructure management, and management information systems. At this time, Keyence does not offer any internship opportunities.

The majority of our sales support and other corporate opportunities are located at our United States headquarters in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey and in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.
