fly Exclusive is one of the fastest-growing private aviation companies in the country — and we are just getting started. We operate a modern, curated fleet and deliver a world-class experience to our customers, backed by a team that holds itself to the highest standards of safety, service, and operational excellence. From our roots in Kinston, North Carolina to our expanding Raleigh headquarters, we are building something the industry has not seen before.

As we continue to build a leading aviation brand, nothing is more critical to this mission than the talented professionals that make up fly Exclusive. We’re more than just a private jet company. We go beyond the industry standard to create a uniquely detailed customer experience that is visible throughout all our departments, from our software design and fleet coordinator teams to our pilots and technicians.

If you are looking for people who motivate others around them, and build relationships that create trust and open communication, you will find that here. The people at fly Exclusive create a culture of positivity and aren’t afraid to make decisions for the good of their team and the company.

This role owns the full MRO sales cycle: building the customer pipeline, quoting and closing work packages, and partnering closely with MRO operations and production leadership to convert hangar and shop capacity into profitable, on-time business.

The Director sets sales strategy, builds and leads the MRO sales team, and represents fly Exclusive's MRO brand across the Cessna Citation, Challenger, and broader business-aviation market as the division scales its facilities and footprint.
