Executive Recruiting Group•San Luis Obispo, CA

About The Position

As the AAM Market Develop Lead of North America, you will serve as the primary external catalyst for building commercial presence in North America, in strong alignment with the global business strategy defined in collaboration with the International based team. Your primary mission is to cultivate deep, trust-based relationships in North America with product customers, future operators, infrastructure partners, mobility integrators, and key stakeholders centered around the aircraft — and convert that engagement into structured commercial intent such as Letters of Intent, strategic partnerships, and long- term collaboration frameworks. Working closely with the International strategy team, you will support refinement of commercialization pathways. You will help ensure that market realities, stakeholder feedback, and regional dynamics are continuously reflected in global decision-making. You will not simply observe the market — you will shape engagement, strengthen strategic alignment, and help translate vision into credible commercial momentum.
