Job Description

Join HRD Aerospace as our First Director of Sales

Airlines put their trust in us to service their emergency equipment on board and, without knowing it, you do too. We are with you every time you fly.

You don’t want to have to use our products, but in the unlikely event the unthinkable happens, you’ll be grateful they work flawlessly.

Providing peace of mind is what we do and we’re looking to grow our impact.

This is where YOU come in.

Why You’ll Love Coming to Work:

Imagine starting your day with a sense of purpose, knowing your ambition directly contributes to the safety of countless people. Your mission is to break the status quo and drive the strategy forward—one that you will collaborate on with the team.

Think coaching, training and mentoring the inside and outside sales teams while driving CRM adoption to ensure everyone is on track. With an overarching goal in the first year to build an inside sales process from scratch, you will also refine our outside sales strategies.

You’ll attend trade shows and dive deep into understanding pricing strategies, market trends and customer types. You’ll also play a crucial role in working with the team on contracts, overcoming barriers to expansion and aligning sales objectives with overarching business goals.

Beyond building and inspiring, you will develop and manage sales forecasts, budgets and reporting processes and share those data insights with our leadership team to help drive strategic decision-making—all in a day’s work.

What You’re Excited to Bring to HRD Aero:

Unafraid to try new things, measure the outcomes, tweak and try again, you’ll have the opportunity to build and implement, bringing your vision for a future-focused sales strategy.

Bringing your aviation/aerospace/MRO experience will help you in coaching, training and mentoring our small sales team. This position is a first for us and a thumbprint opportunity for you to inspire, provide feedback and set best practices.

Your knack for establishing data-driven processes will streamline operations and enhance efficiency. Not only do you love implementing and executing, you also value communicating transparently with the team, providing updates and driving collaboration across the board.

You thrive as you run towards solving problems, like why contracts were lost and where the team needs help. You challenge the status quo, keeping growth and innovation at the heart of all you do.

Bringing these qualities to HRD means you’ll grow your career while helping us continue our legacy of excellence and safety in the aerospace industry!
