About the company:

BETA Technologies is creating an electric transportation ecosystem that’s safe, reliable and sustainable. A relentlessly focused team is building an extensive charging infrastructure and ALIA, the world’s most technologically advanced electric vertical aircraft (EVA).

BETA’s platform and products are strikingly simple. Prioritization of safety and a pragmatic approach to certification drive elegant redundancy, appropriate diversity of implementation and simplicity of control. ALIA’s fixed-pitch propellers and centrally located batteries make it an inherently stable aircraft that is safe to fly and easy to maneuver.

At BETA Technologies, we apply our intellectual curiosity, passion for aviation, and commitment to sustainability toward a shared mission of revolutionizing electric aviation. Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture.

In this role, you will lead government-facing sales efforts that expand BETA’s aircraft charging footprint across federal, state, municipal, and military customers. You will interface with agencies, policymakers, appropriators, procurement officers, and airport authorities to advance the adoption of electric aviation infrastructure. The position requires a blend of government sales experience, understanding of the legislative and appropriations process, and technical aptitude to communicate complex charging system concepts to diverse stakeholders.

You will partner closely with Charge and Aircraft Sales, Government Relations, Product, Engineering, and Business Development teams to pursue opportunities, respond to RFPs, shape government program requirements, and support the development of policy-aligned growth strategies.
