Senior Sales Executive Global - Aviation Tech / Enterprise SaaS

 The Role

As the Senior Sales Executive – Global, you will be at the forefront of our client's international commercial expansion. This is a high-visibility, high-impact enterprise sales role requiring a unique mix of technical software literacy, structured executive-level negotiation, and a deep appreciation for the complex operational pain points faced by modern aviation hubs.

You will manage the entire enterprise sales lifecycle, navigating prolonged procurement cycles to close high-value, long-term ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) software contracts with complex airport networks, airlines, and aviation authorities globally.

 The Responsibilities

• Drive Global Pipeline: Prospect, qualify, and close six-figure enterprise SaaS deals with international airports, global airline groups, and civil aviation authorities.

• Navigate Complex Stakeholders: Champion the platform across multi-layered stakeholder environments—aligning Operations, IT, Procurement, and C-Suite executives (CEOs/COOs) toward a unified digital transformation vision.

• Value-Based Selling: Translate complex AI/predictive data capabilities into tangible financial and operational business cases (e.g., demonstrating concrete savings in taxi-out times, delay reductions, and CO2 parameters).

• Cross-Border Management: Manage end-to-end responses for intensive international RFPs, tenders, and commercial proposals.

• Ecosystem Collaboration: Partner with global system integrators, consultants, and aviation bodies to drive indirect pipelines and embed our client's solutions into larger airport infrastructure projects.

• Strategic Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with internal product and technical integration teams to ensure client technical requirements (legacy data integrations, A-CDM configurations) align with contract scopes.

 The Skills & Competencies

• Enterprise SaaS Expertise: A minimum of 5 to 8+ years of proven success selling high-value, enterprise-grade B2B SaaS solutions into complex institutional, enterprise, or heavily regulated environments.

• Track Record of Scale: Demonstrated history of consistently meeting or exceeding individual quotas exceeding $1M ARR, managing long sales cycles (6 to 18 months).

• Language Proficiency: Absolute fluency in English (written and spoken) is mandatory. Excellent presentation and elite-level business writing skills are non-negotiable.

⭐ The Differentiators

• Aviation Industry Exposure: Prior experience selling into the aviation, aerospace, or broader travel infrastructure ecosystem (e.g., selling AOMS, AODB, A-CDM, or air traffic management software) is highly advantageous but not required if enterprise SaaS credentials are world-class.

• Regional/Language Plus: Fluency in Arabic or additional global languages (French, Spanish, etc.) is a major plus.

• Geographic Flexibility: Ideally based in Qatar, with a willingness to travel internationally up to 30–40% of the time to meet prospective global clients.

⏳ The Benefits

• A competitive salary with an aggressive commission structure aligned with ARR generation.

• Travel around the world for deal making.

• The opportunity to shape the future of global aviation tech as part of an agile, elite team.

• Strategic backing from Tier-1 investors, providing massive institutional runway, stability, and growth potential.
