Job description

Travel to customers and industry events

(OPEN TO ALL SENIORITY LEVELS)

I’m supporting a global battery technology and manufacturing business that is expanding its commercial team across the drone and UAV market.

The role will focus on opening new customer relationships, managing the full sales cycle and working closely with engineering teams to align product performance with customer requirements.

Key responsibilities:

• Develop new business with drone OEMs, UAV manufacturers, defence customers, pack integrators and component suppliers
• Manage opportunities from initial engagement through testing, qualification, RFQ and production order
• Build relationships across commercial, defence, public safety and advanced mobility markets
• Attend major drone and aerospace events to generate pipeline
• Work with technical teams around flight time, payload, energy density, safety and performance

The ideal person will already have strong relationships across the drone ecosystem and a proven track record of converting technical customer opportunities into revenue.

Battery experience is beneficial but not essential. Experience across drones, UAVs, eVTOL, defence, aerospace or autonomous systems is highly relevant and ideally a must have for this sales related role.

The role can be tailored around seniority, with strong commission upside.
