Head of sales and commercial - aerospace

Job Description

We're delighted to be working with an exceptional aerospace component repair specialist that has achieved something truly remarkable - growing from £10 million to £30 million turnover in just three years. This isn't just growth; it's transformation.


As a key supplier to Rolls Royce, our client sits at the heart of the aerospace industry, specialising in critical engine component repairs for the Trent fleet - from the 700 series through to the latest XWB engines.


Why is this opportunity special?


* You'll be joining a company that has doubled its sales output and more than doubled its footprint in the last 18 months
* Part of a tight-knit senior management team (6-7 people) where your voice genuinely matters
* Real influence over business direction across all functions, not just commercial


What You'll Be Doing:


Commercial Excellence

* Lead complex commercial negotiations with major aerospace customers
* Navigate sophisticated contract structures, including Rolls Royce's unique contract accounting methodology
* Renegotiate multi-year agreements, moving away from traditional 5-year fixed contracts
* Manage pricing strategies that demonstrate repair value versus new component alternatives
