As a company pioneering advanced air mobility and defining an entirely new category in aviation, we believe that the customer experience must be equally transformative— seamless, digitally-integrated, and lifecycle-driven from purchase to post-delivery support and sustainment. By joining this team, you will help shape this first-of-its-kind customer experience the BETA way, ultimately transforming and elevating the legacy aerospace customer experience. Spanning across our Commercial Aircraft, Ground Support Equipment (GSE), Defense, and Components customers, you will help foster relationships and provide a one-of-a-kind customer experience centered around reliability, sustainability, and elegance.
As a Strategic Account Manager for Commercial Aircraft Customers, you will develop, maintain & drive the customer’s contract execution and scope, administering both strategic and tactical plans centered around the delivery of the products and services to the customer followed by their successful integration into their operations. As a critical stakeholder of the strategic airline, lessor, partner, and larger fleet relationship, you are responsible for converting the agreed-upon terms of the customer(s) contract(s) into action for the entire lifetime of that contract, ensuring BETA meets its obligations in the contract(s). Success is achieved through the development, execution, coordinated delivery of a detailed project plan, encompassing contract term decomposition, aircraft assembly and delivery efforts, infrastructure readiness, operational requirements, integrations, sustainment and other MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) activities. Our ideal candidate will have a passion for aviation, be an exceptional communicator, have a keen attention to detail, have a passion for customer relations, and a track record of providing exceptional customer service.
