Job description

Description

Build Something from Day One


SkyHop Global is expanding-and we're launching a brand-new operation at Sacramento International Airport (SMF).


We are seeking a hands-on, high-impact Station Leader to build, lead, and grow this location from the ground up. This is a true launch role-you will establish the team, set the standard, and define what success looks like at SMF.


If you're a strong operator who leads from the front and thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments-this is your opportunity to take ownership and make an immediate impact.


About SkyHop Global


SkyHop Global is a nationwide leader in airline crew transportation. We provide safe, reliable, and on-time transportation for pilots and flight attendants between airports, hotels, and training centers.


We operate 24/7/365-when flights are in the air, we are moving crews. Our work is mission-critical to airline operations, and everything we do is driven by Safety, Teamwork, Integrity, and EX=CX (Employee Experience = Customer Experience).


The Role: Player-Coach Leadership


This is not a desk job.


As the Station Leader, you will lead the operation-and step into it when needed. That includes supporting dispatch and driving routes to ensure seamless service.


You will be the face of SkyHop Global at SMF, responsible for building a high-performing team and delivering exceptional service from day one.


What You'll Do


  • Launch and lead all station operations at SMF
  • Recruit, hire, onboard, and develop drivers and operational staff
  • Lead from the front-supporting dispatch and driving when needed
  • Ensure strict adherence to safety policies and operational standards
  • Deliver "Raving Fan" service and exceed airline expectations
  • Conduct ride-alongs and coach driver performance
  • Oversee scheduling for a 24/7/365 operation
  • Drive accountability through performance management and coaching
  • Ensure vehicle compliance, permits, and maintenance readiness
  • Build strong relationships with airline partners and stakeholders


Player-Coach Requirements


  • Valid driver's license with clean driving record
  • Ability to meet company insurance requirements
  • Ability to obtain airport and ground transportation permits
  • Ability to lift up to 75 lbs. (airline crew luggage handling)
  • Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions
  • Willing and able to drive routes when operationally required


Driver Requirements


To be considered, you must qualify as a SkyHop Global driver. That means:

  • Valid Driver's License (clean and current).   
  • Must hold a valid U.S. driver's license for a minimum of 3 years.
  • Safe Driving Record: No major violations, DUIs, or excessive points.  
  • Background Check: Must pass criminal background screening.  
  • Drug-Free: Must pass a DOT or company-required drug test.  
  • Physical Readiness: Able to lift luggage and assist airline crew members.  
  • Professional Standards: Reliable, presentable, and safety focused.  
  • Airport Compliance: Ability to obtain and maintain required airport/city permits.  


What We're Looking For


  • 3-5+ years of leadership experience in transportation, logistics, hospitality, or airport operations
  • Proven success in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
  • Strong communicator who leads by example
  • Decisive and confident in real-time problem solving
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail and compliance
  • Full availability including weekends and holidays (24/7/365 operation)


Compensation & Benefits


  • $85,000 - $95,000 salary
  • Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) with Company Match
  • Paid Sick Time & Holiday Pay
  • Career growth within a rapidly expanding national company


If you're ready to take ownership, lead from the front, and grow with a company on the rise-we want to hear from you.


Apply today and be part of the launch of SkyHop Global Sacramento (SMF).


Job Type: Full-time


Work Location: In person


SkyHop Global is a drug-free workplace
