At A-ICE, we are experts in aviation IT, supplying innovative technologies to leading airlines and airport operators across Europe from our headquarters near Rome.

As part of a new phase in our growth, we are looking for an ambitious and energetic Business Development Manager to lead the expansion of our footprint into the US aviation market. Our goal is to build recognition of the A-ICE brand and forge strong relationships among customer targets in the region, ultimately driving sustainable financial growth.

As the company in-territory representative, the successful candidate will effectively be the face of A-ICE in the US. You will have the skills and experience to devise and implement an effective sales strategy as well as the commitment to bring agreed plans to life and the desire to ensure they deliver results.

The Business Development Manager will work closely with executives across A-ICE to review current market trends and propose relevant ideas for generating new revenues and improving margins.

While the Business Development Manager would officially be based at our office in Washington, this is predominantly a remote-working role, with limited requirement for an office-based presence.
