Pyka is building autonomous electric aircraft to revolutionize transportation and agriculture. The company designs, manufactures, and operates a full ecosystem of technologies including flight control software, avionics, high-power density motors, batteries, and carbon-fiber composite airframes. With industry-first FAA regulatory approvals and operations across four continents, Pyka serves two primary markets: autonomous cargo aircraft for remote connectivity and express delivery, and autonomous crop protection aircraft for precision agriculture.
As Senior Business Development Manager, you will drive market expansion and revenue growth in North America's agricultural sector. You'll identify and engage potential clients including large-scale farmers, agribusinesses, cooperatives, and distributors. Your responsibilities include managing the full sales cycle from prospecting through closing, communicating product value propositions, and providing tailored solutions based on client needs.
You will leverage deep knowledge of the US and Canadian agricultural landscape to build strategic relationships and accelerate adoption of Pyka's autonomous spray aircraft. The role requires strong negotiation skills, understanding of both agriculture and advanced technology, and the ability to articulate how Pyka's solutions optimize yields, reduce operational costs, improve safety, and lower CO2 emissions.
Ideal candidates bring proven sales success in Agtech or drone industries, familiarity with precision agriculture, and passion for agricultural innovation. You'll be a self-starter capable of building lasting client relationships and driving business growth in a high-growth, mission-driven company at the forefront of autonomous electric aviation.
