The successful candidate will be tasked with converting a significant backlog of commercial market LOIs into firm agreements, ensuring the necessary ecosystem is in place for the new aviation model, and driving global market development.

Collaboration with regulatory bodies, particularly the FAA, and a network of global partners is essential. The CCO will also be responsible for team development, fostering a high-performance culture, and ensuring successful customer adoption and long-term engagement.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
