Manager, Maintenance Sales and Customer Service
Tampa, FL
Full Time
Mid Level
At FlyUSA, we are redefining the private aviation experience by providing exceptional service to our clients from start to finish. As leaders in the industry, we are committed to delivering unparalleled travel experiences that exceed expectations. We’re not just about flying passengers from point A to B; we’re about creating memorable journeys and exceptional moments for every client, every time.
Position Summary
The Manager, Sales & Customer Service (MRO Operations) is the primary commercial and client-facing representative for FlyUSA's maintenance repair organization. In the near term, this role operates primarily within FlyUSA's Part 91 and Part 135 ecosystem, working closely with the Aircraft Management Services (AMS) team, who serve as the primary representatives of FlyUSA's managed aircraft owners and clients, and with Maintenance Controllers, who coordinate squawk identification, work scoping, and quote approval. This role is embedded in that workflow, ensuring quotes are accurate, timely, and properly routed through the right internal channels before reaching the client, as well as managing expectations, and communicating scope increases and changes through work completion.
As FlyUSA launches its Part 145 Repair Station, this role will evolve into a more externally facing commercial position, developing direct relationships with third-party operators, corporate flight departments, and aircraft owners who engage FlyUSA's MRO capabilities on a standalone basis. This individual will play an important role in helping establish the customer-facing processes, service offerings, and revenue pipeline that support the growth of the Part 145 operation.
