• Support the development of proposals, quotes, and letters of intent, ensuring consistency and accuracy across customer-facing materials.
• Track competitive activity and market intelligence relevant to assigned opportunities and share findings with the Commercial team.
• Manage opportunity handoffs to senior sales leadership or the CCO for contract negotiation, ensuring complete and accurate transfer of account history and context.
• Maintain consistent pipeline hygiene and reporting cadence, including weekly pipeline reviews and monthly forecast updates.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with prospective customers throughout the sales cycle.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Aviation Management, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 3-5+ years of experience in inside sales, sales operations, business development, or a related commercial role, ideally within aerospace, aviation, or another complex capital-equipment industry.
• Demonstrated ability to manage a multi-stage sales pipeline and drive opportunities to closure.
• Strong proficiency with CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) and pipeline/forecast reporting.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to represent Horizon Aircraft professionally to external stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple opportunities concurrently.
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment with shifting priorities.
