Key Account Director

Build what matters. Grow where it counts.

Who We Are

AMCS is where AI meets the industries that run the world. Headquartered in Ireland, with teams across Europe, North America, and Australasia, we're a global technology company at an inflection point and we're building the team that will define what comes next.

What We Do

The waste, recycling, and transportation industries move billions of tons of material, manage millions of assets, and touch every city, business, and supply chain on the planet. For decades, they ran on manual processes and gut instinct. That era is over.

AMCS has spent 23 years embedding itself into these industries, learning the workflows, the edge cases, the operational realities that no startup can replicate overnight. That knowledge is exactly what makes our AI different. We engineer it to work the way teams already think, so it makes people faster, sharper, and more capable. Trained on thousands of real-world scenarios, built for mission-critical environments, and already trusted by more than 3,800 customers across 65+ countries.

We're at an inflection point where deep industry expertise meets the full force of modern AI, and the companies that get this right will define how these industries operate for the next generation.

Why Join Now

This is the kind of opportunity that comes around once in a career. The market is moving. The technology is ready. The customer base is already here. What we're building now will define the category for the next decade and the people who join us at this moment will help write that story.
