Regional Sales Manager, Asia (Business Aviation)
Regional Sales Manager, Asia (Business Aviation)
Building the commercial engine that expands our footprint across Asia’s business aviation ecosystem with a runway into commercial aviation once scale is achieved.
Role Purpose
This role exists to establish, grow, and own new business acquisition across the Asia business aviation sector, creating a repeatable, regionally-aligned commercial motion that converts market opportunity into revenue, partnerships, and long-term operator adoption.
Once a stable platform is built, the role expands to commercial aviation, leveraging the same GTM architecture to penetrate airlines, MROs, OEMs, and regulatory bodies.
Core Mandate
Acquire new business across Asia’s business aviation operators, charter companies, FBOs, management firms, and OEM ecosystems.
Build a scalable regional commercial platform that can later extend into commercial aviation.
Establish strategic partnerships with operators, regulators, OEMs, and technology integrators.
Create predictable pipeline and revenue growth through disciplined GTM execution.
Position the organisation as a modern, technology-forward partner for operators seeking operational clarity, compliance strength, and efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
1. New Business Acquisition & Market Penetration
Identify, target, and close new business across Asia’s business aviation markets (SE Asia, Greater China, India, Japan, Korea).
Build and manage a high-value pipeline across operators, charter providers, and management companies.
Develop region-specific value propositions aligned to operator pain points: readiness, compliance, crew management, safety, and operational efficiency.
Deliver consistent quarterly acquisition targets with disciplined forecasting and governance.
2. Regional Commercial Strategy & GTM Architecture
Design and execute a multi-market GTM strategy tailored to Asia’s fragmented regulatory and operator landscape.
Define ICP, segmentation, pricing, and commercial motions for business aviation.
Build repeatable sales processes, playbooks, and partner frameworks that support scale.
Establish the commercial foundations required to expand into commercial aviation (airlines, MROs, OEMs).
3. Strategic Partnerships & Ecosystem Development
Build relationships with OEMs, regulators, CAAs, FBO networks, and regional aviation associations.
Develop partnerships that accelerate adoption — training organisations, technology integrators, and operator groups.
Represent the organisation at regional aviation events, forums, and regulatory engagements.
4. Operator Engagement & Solution Positioning
Engage directly with operator leadership (CEOs, DOs, CPs, Safety Heads).
Translate operational complexity into clear commercial value: safety uplift, compliance strength, operational efficiency, and crew readiness.
Work with product and operations teams to ensure regional needs shape platform evolution.
5. Expansion into Commercial Aviation
Once business aviation scale is achieved:
Extend GTM architecture into commercial aviation markets across Asia.
Build acquisition motions for airlines, MROs, OEMs, and training organisations.
Lead early commercial aviation deals, partnerships, and regulatory engagements.
Establish the organisation as a credible technology partner for regional carriers.
