  • Maintain high responsiveness and professional relationship management with key accounts and stakeholders.
  • Achieve or exceed agreed commercial and sales targets.

  • Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Fluent English communication is mandatory; additional languages are considered an advantage.

Preferred Candidate Profile

  • The ideal candidate is a commercially aggressive yet relationship-oriented aviation professional who:
  • Can generate business through existing market connections.
  • Is comfortable building and growing commercial structures in a lean organization.
  • Understands the dynamics of international aviation support operations.
  • Can work directly with leadership and contribute strategically beyond traditional sales activities.
  • Is highly self-managed, proactive, and results-driven.

Working Structure

The role is performance-driven and focused on commercial impact, relationship management, and business growth outcomes.

& Benefits

  • Competitive fixed monthly compensation.
