Aviation Regional Sales Manager (Southeast Region)

Drive growth, build relationships, and represent a trusted name in business aviation. As a Regional Sales Manager, you'll own your region, develop long-term customer partnerships, and help deliver high-quality aviation solutions across avionics, maintenance, paint, and interiors. This is a high-impact role for a sales professional who thrives on relationship-building, understands aviation services, and is motivated by both base salary and performance-based earnings.

Who We Are

Elliott Aviation, a leader in aircraft solutions, has an exciting opportunity for a Regional Sales Manager supporting our Southeast region. Since 1936, Elliott Aviation has been a trusted provider of customer-focused solutions for business aviation. In an industry where service, reliability, and expertise matter, our sales team plays a critical role in connecting customers to the right solutions, all while building trust that lasts well beyond the initial sale.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Own a high-potential Southeast region with strong market opportunity
• Sell a full suite of solutions: Avionics, Maintenance, Paint, and Interiors
• High visibility role with direct customer interaction and industry presence
• Salaried role with commission/bonus earning potential tied to performance
• Opportunity to build long-term relationships, not just transactional sales
• Travel across your region and represent Elliott at industry events and trade shows

Position Summary

The Regional Sales Manager is responsible for developing and executing sales strategies within an assigned region, cultivating customer relationships, and generating revenue through the successful sale of Elliott Aviation's service offerings. This role requires a strong understanding of aviation services, consultative selling skills, and the ability to manage a full sales cycle from prospecting to close.

You'll spend time building relationships with aircraft owners and operators, identifying their needs, and aligning them with Elliott's services. Behind the scenes, you'll collaborate with internal teams to develop proposals, coordinate schedules, and ensure the work you sell is delivered successfully.
