Job Description

  • Responsibilities
    ■ New Development-Based Approach and Key Person Approach:
    ・Build customer and market hypotheses that lead to sales and commercialization of our own aircraft, and promote new development targeting local governments, infrastructure companies, major business firms, and leading local firms.
    ・Personally execute everything from approaching decision-making layers to building relationships and creating business negotiation opportunities, repeatedly validating and improving hypotheses to maximize promising projects.
    ■ Planning and drafting of "Use Case Development" to create markets:
    ・Rather than simply selling aircraft, we conceive and develop concrete use cases from scratch tailored to the characteristics of each region and company that stakeholders agree.
    ■ Backcast-style customer issue analysis and value proposition:
    Analyze customers' business environments, potential challenges, and future opportunities with an eye toward the future of flying cars.
    ・We plan and promote proposals that clarify the added value and return on investment created by implementation based on data and logical hypotheses, and clarify the "significance of engaging now" for customers.
    ■ Contract Closing and Negotiation Lead for Large Projects:
    We address customer concerns arising from unprecedented product uncertainty one by one, and through persistent negotiations and overwhelming problem-solving skills, we steadily guide business negotiations to secure monetization through contract signing (aircraft sales and service introduction).
    ■ Project progress management and internal feedback:
    ・Lead progress management of assigned projects, contract response, and coordination with legal and technical teams.
    ・Quickly feed back real feedback from frontline customers to the development team, driving the market-fit (PMF) of products and services.
    ■ Support for fundraising as an extension of business development:
    ・Assist with business plan presentations, pitches, and investment negotiations for collaborative partners as large-scale projects are promoted or expanded, supporting company fundraising from a business development perspective.

    ■Hypothesis-Driven Business Development and Key Account Approach
    ・Develop hypotheses around customers and markets that can drive aircraft sales and business commercialization, and pursue new business with local governments, infrastructure companies, major corporations, and leading regional businesses.
    ・Independently lead the entire process—from approaching decision-makers and building relationships to create business opportunities—while continuously testing and refining hypotheses to maximize promising opportunities.
    ■Planning and Development of New Use Cases to Create the Market
    ・Go beyond simply selling aircraft by developing concrete, compelling use cases from the ground up, tailored to the characteristics and needs of each region and company, and gaining alignment among relevant stakeholders.
    ■Backcasting-Based Customer Analysis and Value Proposition
    ・Analyze customers' business environments, latent challenges, and future opportunities with the widespread adoption of air mobility in mind.
    ・Develop proposals that clearly demonstrate the value and ROI created through adoption, based on data and logical hypotheses, and articulate why customers should take action now.
    ■Closing and Negotiation Leadership for Large-Scale Deals
    ・Address customer concerns arising from the uncertainty and unprecedented nature of the product, and lead negotiations with persistence and strong problem-solving capabilities to convert opportunities into tangible monetization through aircraft sales and service contracts.
    ■ Project Management and Internal Feedback・Lead project
    progress management, contract-related matters, and coordination with legal and technical teams.
    ・Rapidly communicate real-world customer feedback to the development team and drive product and service-market fit (PMF).
    ■Fundraising Support as an Extension of Business Development
    ・Support the company's fundraising efforts from a business development perspective by presenting business plans and pitches to potential partners and supporting investment negotiations in conjunction with large-scale projects and business expansion.
  • Requirements
    ・Those who have achieved top-class results (such as the top 10%) in corporate sales and have achieved
    high goals individually. ・Experience in thoroughly self-managing "KPIs and action volume" such as number of visits, key person contact rate, and negotiation transition rate, and achieving results based on
    logic rather than intuition. ・Experience in personally controlling

    and winning the customer's internal decision-making process (approval process and involving key persons) for products that are "high barriers to adoption for customers" such as price, unprecedent, and difficulty of internal communication. ・Proven track record of achieving top-tier results in B2B sales, ranking among the top 10% and consistently exceeding ambitious targets.
    ・Experience in rigorously managing sales KPIs and activity levels—including visit volume, key decision-maker contact rate, and opportunity conversion rate—and delivering results through a data-driven, logical approach rather than intuition.
    ・Proven experience selling high-barrier products or services where factors such as price, lack of precedent, and internal approval complexity make customer adoption challenging, including taking control of the customer’s internal decision-making process, engaging key stakeholders, and winning the deal.
  • Preferred
    ・Experience in
    aerospace or the eVTOL industry ・Experience launching new businesses or starting startups with zero→-to-one sales or monetization
    experience ・Experience handling large projects from order acquisition to contract negotiation and handling
    with government agencies and local governments ・Experience formulating business plans (P/L, COMMERCIAL, etc.), or investor pitching, Experience in finance such as
