Business Development Manager
Aircraft Disassembly and Component aftermarket

Must have experience in a related Aviation sales role
A UK aviation services group is expanding its aircraft disassembly and USM trading capability across Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 family platforms.
We are seeking a commercially astute aviation professional to originate and execute aircraft acquisition and part out opportunities, converting end of life airframes into high value aftermarket inventory.
This is a strategic growth role with genuine influence over acquisition decisions, teardown planning and global remarketing strategy.

You will lead commercial discussions with airlines, lessors and asset owners, assessing end of life aircraft for part out potential and building compelling business cases around residual component value.
Working closely with technical and operational teams, you will shape disassembly strategy, optimise harvest planning and drive global sales of used serviceable material across airframe and component systems. Engines are not within scope.
The position offers a high level of autonomy and a mostly remote working structure, with travel across the UK and Europe as required.

Originate and close aircraft acquisition and disassembly opportunities for 737 and A320 family aircraft
Conduct technical and commercial evaluations to determine part out viability and residual value
Develop relationships with airlines, lessors, brokers and MRO providers
Lead due diligence including records review, maintenance status assessment and physical inspection coordination
Forecast component demand and market pricing trends within the narrow body aftermarket
Drive sales strategy for airframe and component inventory including avionics, landing gear, structures, systems, interiors and APUs
Ensure compliance with regulatory and export requirements
About You
Proven experience within aircraft asset acquisition, USM trading, teardown or airframe component remarketing
Strong understanding of 737 and A320 family systems and aftermarket demand dynamics
Commercially confident, capable of managing complex multi stakeholder negotiations
Experience engaging airlines, lessors or asset owners at decision maker level
Self directed, credible and comfortable operating with autonomy
