About us
Waltzing Matilda Aviation is a Part 135 on-demand charter operator based at Hanscom Field in Bedford, MA. We fly a growing fleet of light, super-midsize and heavy business jets for charter clients and aircraft owners, and we're adding a second base at Dallas Love Field. We're a small team that cares about safety, sweats the details, and treats every trip like it matters, because to our owners and passengers it does.
The role
The Operations Coordinator is part of the team that runs our Bedford fleet day to day. You'll plan trips from quote to completion, crew them legally, coordinate logistics, and make sure our clients, owners, and crews have a smooth experience. You'll report to the Part 119 Director of Operations and work closely with our Chief Pilot, Maintenance, and Sales teams. The ideal candidate is familiar with 14 CFR Part 91 and 135 regulations with emphasis on Operational Control.

2+ years in Part 135/91 charter or corporate flight operations: scheduling, dispatch, or ops coordination
Working knowledge of Part 135 duty/rest rules and general charter operations
Experience with flight scheduling software (JetInsight, FOS, Leon, Avianis, Levelflight, or similar)
Calm, clear communication under pressure. Plans change, and you keep everyone informed.

Customer-service instincts for high-expectation clients
Ability to cover a shared on-call rotation in a 24/7/365 operation
