Company Overview

World View Indo-Pacific is a wholly owned subsidiary of World View Enterprises, a US stratospheric exploration company that has been operating in the stratosphere for over 12 years. We are not iterating on the past, we’re building what comes next. From a clean slate, we’re establishing a sovereign aerospace and intelligence capability that serves both government and commercial sectors, with no legacy limits and no direct rivals.

We exist to inspire, create, and explore new perspectives for a radically improved future. We reach new perspectives through navigable long‑duration and short‑duration stratospheric balloons that carry instruments and sensors into the stratosphere.

We help contribute to a radically improved future by capturing high‑quality imagery and data, coupled with bespoke analytics for imagery and data interpretation. The knowledge created by this data delivers insights with the goal of saving lives and averting disasters.

Are you ready to be part of something truly extraordinary and out of this world!

The Role of Business Development Manager (BDM)

The stratospheric ballooning industry is on the cusp of exponential growth, offering low‑cost, high‑altitude solutions for Earth observation, real‑time data collection, communications, research, and more. You'll be pioneering an entirely new frontier of technology exploring the earth from the stratosphere.

As the Business Development Manager, you’ll forge key partnerships, define market strategy, and guide how the Indo‑Pacific region leverages this transformative technology. With strong government relations expertise across the Asia region, you’ll develop and execute strategies to expand business opportunities and support our ambitious growth plan.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading government engagement efforts to influence policy, procurement strategies, and partnership opportunities
• Navigating complex regulatory and compliance frameworks to ensure business dealings adhere to local and international law
• Working closely with internal teams to tailor solutions that meet the needs of existing and potential customers, driving contract negotiations and proposal development
• Representing World View Indo‑Pacific at industry events, trade shows, and government meetings to enhance our brand visibility
• Articulating our value story, technology, and product positioning to both business and technical users
• Monitoring geopolitical and industry trends to anticipate opportunities and risks for business growth
• Traveling domestically and internationally as required to support business development opportunities

What You’ll Bring To The Team

You’ll be yourself and make your mark, comfortable with ambiguity, seeing challenges as opportunities and adopting a growth mindset to anticipate change, solve complex problems, be creative, and continuously seek improvements. You will have a strong ability and desire to understand sophisticated systems, investigate and tackle challenging problems, and thrive in a dynamic and evolving environment. Comfortable building and earning trust, maintaining positive and supportive relationships, and leaning into our inclusive and caring culture, you’ll bring an innovative mindset every day.

What Else Do You Need To Know
