🏢 About Beta Technologies

Beta Technologies is pioneering a sustainable electric transport ecosystem with advanced vertical aircraft and extensive charging infrastructure.

About This Role

As a Commercial Strategy Analyst at Beta Technologies, you'll develop bottom-up financial models for commercial offerings like Energy By the Hour programs and aircraft pricing, directly influencing pricing decisions and new business models. This role is impactful because your analyses will shape how Beta monetizes its electric aircraft ecosystem and determines the commercial viability of emerging programs in a rapidly evolving industry.
