Job Summary
flyExclusive is hiring two Regional Sales Managers to drive external sales growth for our Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) business unit-one dedicated to each of two key territories:

• Regional Sales Manager - Southeast: Palm Beach/Miami, Florida

• Regional Sales Manager - Northeast: New York/New Jersey metro area

Each is a remote position with regular travel required throughout the assigned territory-including visits to fixed-base operators (FBOs), customer facilities, and flyExclusive sites-to build relationships and close business face-to-face. Each Regional Sales Manager is responsible for building and expanding a book of third-party MRO customers within their market, developing new business through relentless prospecting, and owning the commercial relationship from first contact through contract execution. Above all, these are hunter roles: each Regional Sales Manager is measured on their ability to sell within their territory.
Key Responsibilities

• Own and grow external MRO sales within the assigned territory (Palm Beach/Miami or New York/New Jersey), generating revenue by selling maintenance, repair, and overhaul services to aircraft owners, operators, management companies, and other third-party customers.

• Aggressively identify, prospect, and qualify new business opportunities within the territory, building a robust pipeline and converting leads into long-term accounts.

• Work the territory in person-traveling regularly to FBOs, customer hangars, and industry hubs across the market to develop face-to-face relationships and win business where deals are made.

• Develop and maintain strong relationships with external customers, acting as a trusted advisor and ensuring a high level of client satisfaction and retention.

• Negotiate, structure, and manage all pricing agreements for MRO activities, ensuring pricing is competitive, profitable, and aligned with company margin targets and approval processes.

• Coordinate closely with internal teams-including maintenance operations, production control, and leadership-to accurately scope work, provide quotes, and confirm capacity.

• Assist in planning and scheduling MRO work between flyExclusive's facilities and external customers, balancing customer timelines with hangar availability, parts, and labor to optimize throughput.

• Track sales activity, forecast revenue, and report on pipeline status, wins, and market conditions to sales and operations leadership.

• Represent flyExclusive at industry events, trade shows, and FBO locations to promote the MRO service offering and strengthen the company's presence in the assigned territory.

Key Skills

• Hunter mentality-self-motivated, driven to prospect, and relentless about closing business.

• Consultative selling and the ability to act as a trusted advisor to sophisticated aviation clients.

• Strong commercial acumen, including pricing, margin awareness, and deal structuring.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills across both customers and internal teams.

• Organization and time management to run a remote territory independently.

• Cross-functional collaboration with maintenance, production control, and leadership.

• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Work Environment

• Remote position based within or near the assigned territory (South Florida or the NY/NJ metro area), with a home-office setup expected.

• Regular travel throughout the assigned territory is required, including frequent visits to FBOs, customer hangars, maintenance facilities, and industry events; periodic travel to flyExclusive sites is also expected.

• Time is split between a home-office environment and active field settings-hangars, ramps, and FBO facilities-where standard aviation safety protocols apply and exposure to noise, weather, and aircraft operations areas may occur.

• Work is performed in a fast-paced, high-growth business environment with revenue targets and deadlines that may require flexibility in hours to accommodate customer schedules and time zones across both markets.

• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions.

Dress Code

• Well-groomed appearance

• Adherence to department dress code

Travel

• This position requires approximately 75% travel within the assigned territory (Palm Beach/Miami or New York/New Jersey).

• Travel is a core function of this role; candidates must be able and willing to be in the field the majority of their working time.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business, aviation management, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.

• 3+ years of B2B sales experience with a demonstrated track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets.

• Experience selling within the aviation industry, ideally in MRO, aircraft maintenance, parts, FBO, or related services.

• Willingness and ability to travel regularly throughout the assigned territory (Palm Beach/Miami or New York/New Jersey) and to flyExclusive facilities as needed.

• Strong negotiation skills with experience structuring pricing agreements and closing complex deals.

• Proficiency with CRM systems and standard business software for pipeline management and reporting.

• Existing residence in or near the assigned market (South Florida or the NY/NJ metro area).
