Overview
Commercial Lead Jobs in United States at Airline SMEs
Title: Commercial Lead
Company: Airline SMEs
Location: United States
We're hiring: Commercial Lead, Airline SMEs
Airline SMEs embeds experienced airline professionals inside client teams to execute the work — not deliver decks. We're growing the network and the client base, and we need a commercial lead to drive both.
The role:
Recruit senior airline professionals into our network and develop partnerships with the organizations that need real airline expertise.
Who you are:
You've spent meaningful time inside airlines — ideally in a commercial, planning, or strategy function. You can hold a substantive conversation without translation.
You've also sold, partnered, or run business development somewhere along the way. You know how to build a pipeline and close.
Why this matters:
A lot of senior airline expertise sits with people who've stepped back from full-time roles but still want to do the work. Clients want access to that expertise on real projects. We're the bridge — and the commercial lead is central to making both sides of the equation work.
What you get:
Real ownership of the commercial function, and the runway to grow and build the team as we scale.
