Based in Europe but rarely bound to one place, it’s a dynamic career that blends luxury travel, high-level client relationships, and the thrill of selling fractional jet ownership, leases, and jet card solutions across both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.

A career that takes flight, literally

As a Remote Sales Director, your “office” shifts between home base, private terminals, five-star hotels, and client yachts. Your calendar might include a meeting with a Monaco-based financier in the morning, a product demo flight over the French Riviera in the afternoon, and dinner with a family office advisor in Geneva that evening.

This isn’t just a sales job—it’s a consultative role. You’re offering bespoke solutions to ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) who expect discretion, detail, and deep product knowledge. Whether it’s a Challenger 350, a Global 7500, or an AW139 helicopter, clients want confidence that their time, privacy, and lifestyle needs will be met.

Building relationships, not just closing deals

In this sector, deals aren’t made over email—they’re built over time. You’re not selling a seat on a flight; you’re offering access to time, flexibility, and exclusivity. That means spending real face-time with your prospects, understanding their travel habits, and tailoring solutions that align with their business and personal lives.

Many clients already own or charter aircraft, so it’s your job to present the value proposition of fractional ownership, leasing, or a jet card in a way that feels both aspirational and practical. And because the offering might extend to both jets and helicopters, you need to navigate diverse aircraft types and operational considerations with ease.

Why consultancy contracts make sense

In today’s private aviation market, many Sales Directors are brought on under consultancy contracts—particularly when companies don’t have a legal entity in your country of residence. While you’ll effectively operate as part of the internal sales team, your status remains that of an independent consultant.

This arrangement offers the best of both worlds. You gain the flexibility and tax efficiency of contracting, while the company benefits from your expertise without the administrative burden of establishing local payroll or corporate presence. You’re not juggling multiple clients—this is a focused, dedicated role—but you retain the autonomy to structure your workday and operate with entrepreneurial agility.

For seasoned professionals, it’s a smart, modern setup that reflects the global nature of aviation sales today.

The perks of the job

• Travel with Purpose: You’ll experience the best cities in Europe and beyond, often through the lens of your UHNW clientele.

• Flexible Living: Live in a cultural capital like Paris, Barcelona, or Milan—but stay nimble to follow opportunity wherever it lands.

• Networking at the Highest Level: Build relationships with family offices, private banks, and luxury brand executives.

• Performance-Driven Rewards: With commissions or performance bonuses, the earning potential reflects the high-value nature of the deals.

Is it right for you?

If you’re a self-starter with experience in private aviation, luxury sales, or high-net-worth relationship management, this could be the next chapter in a seriously rewarding career. You’ll need confidence, persistence, and a deep appreciation for the product—and the lifestyle your clients expect to live.
