About this role:

Nova is seeking a highly versatile Manager, Business Development to help lead our global growth. As a small, nimble team, we are looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity and can operate across strategic sales, geographic expansion, and financial and strategic analysis to support major company decisions.

This role sits at the center of Nova's growth efforts. You'll be part of a small internal "swat team," constantly identifying, prioritizing, and executing on the most critical opportunities to scale the business globally.

As a Manager, Business Development, you will be responsible for:

  • Lead strategic sales efforts and form high-impact partnerships
  • Manage and coordinate cross-functional growth initiatives
  • Support global expansion, including entering new countries, managing projects, and supporting local hiring efforts
  • Conduct financial and strategic analysis to inform major growth and investment decisions
  • Take ownership of ambiguous, high-impact projects and drive them from concept through execution
  • Travel to key events to assess competitive dynamics and engage with influential stakeholders

If you're the right fit for this role, you probably already get it: this is a high-growth, "do whatever it takes to help the company win" position with significant responsibility and exposure.

You'll need to have:

  • Experience in business development, sales, and/or finance at a high-growth company
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn insights into action
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
  • Ability to travel up to 50% of the time

It's a plus if you have:

  • MBA or advanced business degree
  • Experience in a capital-expenditure-based technology business (as opposed to purely software or services)
  • Experience in the entertainment industry

If you're ready to elevate drone shows into imaginative Sky Stories that ignite the skies and captivate audiences, we invite you to join the Nova Sky Stories team. Your passion for creative innovation, your strong drive and your 'get it done' attitude will thrive in our dynamic and collaborative environment. Apply now and be part of a team that brings dreams to life through the art of drone storytelling.
