Role Description

We are looking for a results-driven Commercial Manager to spearhead our growth initiatives and elevate our market performance. This role is built for a hands-on leader who excels at translating strategy into action with a strong commercial mindset.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and scale the commercial team in Thailand, driving B2B and B2C revenue across business development, sales, and guest relations.
  

• Own and execute the go-to-market strategy for amphibious flight operations (land, water, air), B2B partnerships, and commercial activities tailored for the Thai market and wider region.
  

• Identify, engage, and secure high-value partnerships with luxury hotels, resorts, villa collections, travel designers, DMCs, concierges, and corporate clients.
  

• Drive direct revenue for private charters and scheduled 'by-the-seat' routes while leading, supporting, and elevating the performance of Sales Associates and Guest Relations team members.
  

• Design and launch customer loyalty programs, membership structures, and incentive schemes for Thailand while enhancing the Group’s broader commercial ecosystem.
  

• Lead route optimization initiatives, identify prospective destinations, and negotiate commercial agreements, including rates, commission structures, and partnership terms.
  

• Partner cross-functionally and cross-regionally with Operations, Marketing, Finance, and Executive Leadership to convert commercial opportunities into seamless operational delivery.
  

• Establish robust sales tracking processes, pipeline management systems, and revenue KPIs using CRM platforms and reporting tools to evaluate commercial performance.
  

• Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing sales and marketing team as organizational operations scale.
  

What You Bring

• 5+ years of professional experience, including at least 3 years in business development, sales, or strategic partnerships within the aviation, hospitality, luxury travel, or related industries.
  

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Hospitality Management, Marketing, or a related discipline.
  

• Strong passion for luxury travel, aviation, hospitality, and premium experiential tourism.
  

• Professional fluency in both English and Thai (written and spoken).
  

• Strong interpersonal, networking, and relationship-building capabilities with external partners and key stakeholders.
  

• Proven capability in structuring, negotiating, and managing commercial deals and strategic partnerships.
  

• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with proficiency in Google Workspace, Canva, AI productivity tools, and CRM systems (e.g., HubSpot).
  

• Proactive, entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to take initiative and work independently.
  

• Creative problem-solving ability in designing partnership models and campaign offers
  

• Positive attitude, strong team spirit, and continuous curiosity about industry trends.
  

• Adaptable and resilient, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities effectively.
  

• Based in or willing to relocate to Bangkok, Thailand.
  

What We Offer

• Opportunity to join a fast-growing, innovative aviation venture alongside a high-performing global team.
  

• Clear pathways for career growth and leadership development within the expanding business.
  

• A vibrant office environment in central Bangkok with an energetic, collaborative company culture.
  

• Direct exposure to key stakeholders in the luxury travel and regional aviation sectors.
  

• Competitive base compensation, performance override incentives, and annual bonuses tied to individual and corporate goals.
  

• Comprehensive coverage of business-related expenses, including travel, accommodation, and dining allowance.
  

• Mentorship and direct working experience with seasoned international C-level executives.
