Founded in 1995,
Elevate Aviation Group is the parent organization uniting Elevate Jet, Private Jet Services (PJS), and Elevate MRO under one standard of aviation excellence. We operate in the space between small operators and faceless corporations – large enough to deliver global capability, yet agile enough to provide true personal service. As we enter our fourth decade, we’re revolutionizing how we approach the market, combining decades of operational expertise with modern technology to deliver certainty, safety, and seamless experiences across every stage of private aviation – from charter to acquisition, management, and maintenance.

Elevate Aviation Group is seeking a dynamic Data Steward to join our technology team in a unique dual role that blends data governance leadership with hands‑on application development. This position is ideal for an emerging data professional who wants to shape data strategy while actively building their data science capabilities in a fast‑paced aviation technology environment.

This role offers a rare combination of strategic influence and technical growth, perfect for someone who wants to be more than a policy writer—you'll be a builder, problem‑solver, and key contributor to our mission of transforming private aviation through technology.
