VP of Growth - Aviation Software Company
About The Position
We're conducting a search on behalf of a growing company in the aviation software space. This is a newly created role that has not yet been announced internally — details on the company will be shared as candidates progress through the process. This is not a replacement hire; it's a brand-new strategic role being built around the right person. This is a high-visibility, high-growth opportunity for a business development leader who wants ownership over how a company expands into new revenue streams — not a traditional sales management role. As VP of Growth, you'll be charged with identifying, building the business case for, and driving new revenue-generating initiatives and partnerships. Over the next 3–5 years, this role is expected to contribute $25–50M in new revenue to the business. This is fundamentally a new business development role in the truest sense — less "manage a sales team," more "find the opportunity, build the case, go get it done."
Requirements
- Strong analytical/business case background — MBA or MBA-equivalent skill set preferred (financial modeling, ROI analysis, strategic case-building)
- A track record of building and closing new business development initiatives or strategic partnerships — not just managing an existing book of business
- Experience in technology, software, marketplace, or platform businesses; aviation industry experience is not required
- Ideally, experience structuring partnership, OEM, or white-label deals that drove meaningful new revenue
- Comfort operating in ambiguity — this role has the scope to grow significantly as the company scales
Responsibilities
- Identify and evaluate new growth initiatives, partnerships, and market opportunities
- Build rigorous business cases and ROI/financial analyses to prioritize and pitch initiatives
- Lead and execute on selected initiatives from concept through revenue generation
- Develop and negotiate strategic partnerships — potentially including technology partnerships, OEM relationships, or white-label arrangements where outside technology is packaged and resold
- Operate as a strategic, analytical thinker as much as a relationship-driven dealmaker
- Work closely with executive leadership as a key driver of the company's growth strategy
Benefits
- Strong, competitive compensation package (base + bonus + potential long-term incentive)
