CAE

About CAE

CAE's sales force works two very different markets: armed forces buying training systems, simulators and mission support, and airlines, business jet operators and MROs buying pilot training seats, simulators and aftermarket service. Defense selling is capture work on long government pursuits: in the US, business development managers are individual contributors each tied to one customer or mission (the Army and Navy training commands in Orlando, the US Air Force, missile defense and command and control from Tampa or Arlington, Texas), qualifying opportunities and shaping solutions with capture, proposal, engineering and contracts teams, under a director who sets the enterprise business development strategy. The same seat exists country by country: an Ottawa manager carries an annual order intake target for Canadian defence programs (offsets and Indigenous partnering included), a Sesto Calende manager works the Italian Ministry of Defence and armed forces for Southern Europe, a Stolberg manager sells fixed wing and drone training to the Bundeswehr and NATO, and training solutions specialists in Australia design the tactical side of air and naval rear crew training bids. On the civil side a Dubai account executive sells aviation training to airlines, MROs and government agencies in the Bahasa and Turkish speaking markets, a Toluca territory manager owns business aviation accounts across Mexico against Salesforce activity metrics, a Montreal technical sales specialist grows simulator aftermarket services in Asia-Pacific, and a Bogotá account executive handles training bookings and customer requests for an assigned aircraft platform. The Italian seat prefers former officers or senior NCOs of the Italian forces, the Australian seats require NV1 security clearance, and US defense hires must handle controlled government information.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at CAE

Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30
Stated per posting

From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026

Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: Pay is printed only where local rules push it: the Ottawa business development posting gives a base pay range in Canadian dollars (written with a stray K) plus a performance-based sales bonus, and the Italian defence posting a gross annual salary range in euros, both set by experience, skills, location and internal equity. None of the US defense postings in the sample (Orlando, Tampa, Arlington) states a figure, and the Dubai, Toluca, Bogotá, Stolberg, Montreal and Australian postings name none either, the Montreal one saying only competitive compensation. No posting describes commission or an OTE. Ask whether the bonus pays on order intake (contract award) or on revenue as it is delivered over a multi-year program, whether US business development managers sit on the same sales bonus plan, and for Dubai which allowances the package carries.
