How much CAE pays its sales hires
Our researched figure for sales pay at CAE is Stated per posting (stated by the company, checked 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.

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.
