Role Overview
As our Flight Operations Program Manager, you’ll own the cross-functional programs that keep our growing fleet delivering on that promise — driving aircraft delivery, onboarding, and operational readiness, and giving the whole organization a clear, real-time picture of where things stand. You’ll work directly with Flight Operations, Technology, and our partners, and you’ll brief the executive team.
What You’ll Do
- Own end-to-end program plans for flight operations initiatives — scope, milestones, risks, and KPIs — and drive them to completion across multiple teams.
- Drive aircraft delivery and onboarding readiness, tracking every task from acquisition through operational readiness.
- Build the dashboards and trackers that give BOND a single source of truth on fleet delivery, onboarding, maintenance, and program health.
- Partner with Flight Operations, Technology, and external partners to keep programs grounded in operational reality.
- Manage vendor and partner relationships, holding them accountable to scope and timeline.
- Translate operational data into executive-ready reporting and present it directly to our leadership team.
- Identify process gaps and lead the improvements that make us faster, more reliable, and more scalable.
Required Qualifications
- 6+ years of program or project management experience owning cross-functional programs with measurable outcomes.
- Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent practical experience.
- Strong technology fluency — comfortable across modern SaaS and operational tools (project/work-management platforms, CRM such as Salesforce, BI/dashboards) and quick to learn new systems.
- A track record of presenting to and influencing senior and executive stakeholders.
- Proven ability to juggle competing priorities and deliver in a fast-moving environment.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, translating complex operational detail into clear decisions.
- Fluency in AI tools like Claude, with the ability to apply them to everyday program and operational work.
