Job Title: Defence Sales Manager
Salary: Negotiable dependent upon experience

Aeropeople have partnered with a privately-held Aerospace OEM company who are now looking to hire a Defence Sales Manager to join their team. The role will be hybrid working, with an expectation to be on site no more than 1 day per week at their site in Bedford but this can be negotiated.
The company’s first production aircraft will deliver up to a 90% reduction in carbon emissions compared to other aircraft, before attaining zero emissions by 2030. The aircraft is expected to be in flight from 2026 and in service from 2028 (capable of carrying up to 100 passengers or 10 tonnes in weight). As an aviation technology company one of their main core values is innovation and they have a genuine focus on being the best at all they do to positively impact their aircraft designs today and for the future.
Joining their team means contributing to an innovative, values-driven organisation while learning, growing, and helping shape the future of aviation.
The Defence Sales Manager role is a unique opportunity to support their growth and expansion. This is a hands-on, delivery focused role- you will manage and progress sales activity in the defence and security sectors within markets including the UK, EU and US, maintaining and developing relationships, progressing commercial agreements across a range of customers.

* Internal collaboration: Work closely with the Marketing team on campaign planning, coordination and CRM management updates. Coordinate with internal teams to identify and attend defence and security-focused events, exhibitions and trade shows that are likely to generate leads or strengthen existing relationships.
* Customer account management: Maintain regular engagement with new and existing defence and security customers, building strong, value-driven relationships and supporting repeat business.
* Feedback and continuous improvement: Document and act upon defence customer and market feedback to support product development, enhancement or refinement and commercial success.
Benefits:

About You:
* Ability to coordinate the full sales process, using a CRM to maintain and develop sales pipelines, applying lead generation and qualification methodologies to support consistent progress.
* Strong communication and organisation skills with the ability to translate detailed technical or product information into clear, engaging discussions with defence and security customers.
* Experience in supporting or undertaking people management, or willingness to develop in a line management capacity.
* Experience contributing to end-to-end sales processes, including pipeline development, opportunity qualification and tracking, contract negotiation, and contract progression.
* Familiarity with working within structured sales methodologies and campaign-based sales processes.
* Evidence of continuous professional development relevant to sales, business development, defence, security or aviation.
* You are a commercially focused professional with experience managing complex and detailed sales environments.
