Product Manager, Flight Ops

This is an exciting opportunity for a Product Manager with agile software development experience to contribute to the evolution and optimization of Vista Global’s Flight Operations worldwide. This role is centered on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the technology supporting multiple Flight Operations teams, enabling high quality air mobility services.

Vista Global is building the future of private air travel so the world can experience aviation as it was meant to be. There was a time when we waited in long lines, removed our shoes, and shuffled through crowded security checkpoints. We settled for search engines, commoditization, and a plethora of apps. Meanwhile, thousands of private jets sat on runways and in hangars depreciating in value, and 40% of the private planes in the sky were flying empty. No-one stopped to ask if there wasn’t a better way.
