Where You Make Your Mark

The Charter Sourcing Specialist is a strategic and operational role within Jet Access's charter pipeline, responsible for evaluating supplemental lift solutions, managing vendor relationships, and guiding trips from initial request through confirmed booking. This role requires independent judgment, market intelligence, and active negotiation to identify the most effective sourcing strategy for each trip - balancing aircraft suitability, operator reliability, client expectations, and commercial viability.

• Coordinate cross-functionally with servicing and operational teams to resolve discrepancies, operational concerns, or sourcing conflicts proactively before advancement to the servicing stage.

• Maintain clear documentation of booking status throughout the confirmation and handoff process to support audit trails and accountability.

Operational Decision-Making and Continuous Improvement

• Operate with a high level of autonomy and professional judgment while managing multiple active sourcing initiatives simultaneously, making confident decisions under time-sensitive conditions.

• Prioritize competing operational demands independently, assessing commercial and operational tradeoffs to protect trip quality, profitability, and client experience without requiring escalation.

• Anticipate sourcing challenges before they surface, leveraging industry knowledge and operator relationships to influence outcomes proactively.
