Based onsite at our Creedmoor facility and reporting to the Director of Sales, you'll work with customers across commercial aviation, defense and government markets to identify opportunities and deliver solutions that support their evolving needs.

You'll take ownership of sales opportunities from initial engagement through quotation, negotiation and order capture, working closely with internal teams to improve profitability, support customer commitments and expand existing business. Your understanding of customer requirements, product demand and market opportunities will help shape sales strategies and drive long-term growth.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys combining technical knowledge with commercial strategy, building relationships and solving complex customer challenges. You'll have the opportunity to lead sales campaigns, develop key accounts and make a direct impact on business performance while supporting the aerospace products that keep critical aircraft flying.

• Resolve customer challenges related to product availability, pricing, lead times and quality while representing Ontic through customer meetings, site visits and regional or international travel as required.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience within the aerospace or aviation industry.
• At least 3 years of experience in technical sales or a comparable customer-facing commercial role focused on driving revenue growth.
