FlyAway operates a 24/7, 365-day transit service between LAX and two locations—Union Station and Van Nuys—with over two dozen buses running every day. The GM will function as the CEO of the FlyAway program, responsible for day-to-day operations, client relationship management, vendor oversight, and internal team leadership. 

This is a hands-on leadership role that requires deep operational expertise, familiarity with public transit or shuttle environments, and the ability to work across a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.

  • Manage subcontractor and vendor relationships including motor coach operators, maintenance providers, dispatchers, and third-party technology vendors.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with CharterUP's strategy, finance, legal, ops, and marketing teams to ensure program compliance, reporting accuracy, and full operational support.
  • Oversee program finances, including invoicing, budget tracking, and profitability metrics.
  • Maintain and improve SLAs and KPIs, identifying and resolving operational inefficiencies before they impact service.
  • Own project oversight by monitoring and tracking new initiatives, billing cycles, service metrics, and contract compliance.
  • Report regularly on program performance, presenting data-driven updates and actionable recommendations to senior leadership.

What You’ll Bring

  • 8+ years experience in transportation, logistics, or shuttle operations, with at least 3 years in a senior leadership role.
  • Proven ability to lead complex, round the clock programs with multiple internal and external stakeholders.
  • Experience in public transportation, shuttle operations, or contract-based transit services preferred.
  • Strong understanding of fleet operations, vendor management, and service delivery standards.
  • Executive presence and communication skills; comfortable representing CharterUP with municipal clients and large-scale partners.
  • Exceptional organizational and problem-solving skills; thrives in ambiguity and leads with clarity.
  • High operational acumen with experience managing compliance-heavy contracts.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
