Transdigm Group Inc Hiring for Vice President of Sales & Marketing Job at Union Gap, WA Full Time

Pexco Aerospace is looking for a dynamic and influential leader to join our executive team as the Vice President of Sales & Marketing at our corporate office in Yakima, WA. This in-person position reports directly to the President and has complete leadership over our Sales & Marketing team and strategy execution.

We are not looking for a sales star instead for a strategic leader. We do not need a lone-wolf sales driver rather a strategic-minded coach who will motivate the team to win. We have a close-knit, family culture where all employees feel welcome, valued, and encouraged to contribute to the company’s long-term success. We are dedicated to fostering a culture built on inclusion and appreciation.

The Vice President of Sales and Marketing is a high-profile position with a direct line to the President in the succession plan. We believe in promoting from within, and this position is being groomed to be our next President. We also look to advance high potential people within the TransDigm Group, which allows for promotions outside of Pexco Aerospace.

Total rewards are highly competitive and comparable for a sales department leadership role within a 100+ person organization. They include a competitive salary, an annual performance bonus, and a high level of equity in our parent company TransDigm Group (TDG on the NYSE).

For over 49 years, Pexco Aerospace (www.pexcoaerospace.com) has been a leader in the aircraft interiors market. With production in our facility in Washington, we service our customers nationwide and internationally by designing and manufacturing cutting-edge engineered products.

Yakima is a place where you can drive up your net worth and have an excellent quality of life with our relatively low cost of living. Our central location allows for easy access to the Yakima, Columbia, and Snake Rivers, mountain and lowland lakes, abundant greenways, and scenery you’ll have to see to believe. You’ll find 300 days of sunshine a year in a city nestled in a valley surrounded by camel-colored desert hills in Yakima. You’ll enjoy four distinct seasons and endless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Should you choose to hit the road, Seattle, Portland, and Spokane are within a three-hour drive, close enough to enjoy without dealing with a grid-locked life.
