Build Something from Day One

SkyHop Global is expanding—and we’re launching a brand-new operation at Sacramento International Airport (SMF).

We are seeking a hands-on, high-impact Station Leader to build, lead, and grow this location from the ground up. This is a true launch role—you will establish the team, set the standard, and define what success looks like at SMF.

If you’re a strong operator who leads from the front and thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments—this is your opportunity to take ownership and make an immediate impact.

About SkyHop Global

SkyHop Global is a nationwide leader in airline crew transportation. We provide safe, reliable, and on-time transportation for pilots and flight attendants between airports, hotels, and training centers.

We operate 24/7/365—when flights are in the air, we are moving crews. Our work is mission-critical to airline operations, and everything we do is driven by Safety, Teamwork, Integrity, and EX=CX (Employee Experience = Customer Experience).

The Role: Player-Coach Leadership

This is not a desk job.

As the Station Leader, you will lead the operation—and step into it when needed. That includes supporting dispatch and driving routes to ensure seamless service.

You will be the face of SkyHop Global at SMF, responsible for building a high-performing team and delivering exceptional service from day one.

• Recruit, hire, onboard, and develop drivers and operational staff
• Lead from the front—supporting dispatch and driving when needed
• Ensure strict adherence to safety policies and operational standards
• Deliver “Raving Fan” service and exceed airline expectations
• Conduct ride-alongs and coach driver performance
• Oversee scheduling for a 24/7/365 operation
• Drive accountability through performance management and coaching
• Ensure vehicle compliance, permits, and maintenance readiness
• Build strong relationships with airline partners and stakeholders

Player-Coach Requirements

• Valid driver’s license with clean driving record
• Ability to meet company insurance requirements
• Ability to obtain airport and ground transportation permits
• Ability to lift up to 75 lbs. (airline crew luggage handling)
• Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions
• Willing and able to drive routes when operationally required

Driver Requirements

To be considered, you must qualify as a SkyHop Global driver. That means:

• Valid Driver’s License (clean and current).   
• Must hold a valid U.S. driver’s license for a minimum of 3 years.
• Safe Driving Record: No major violations, DUIs, or excessive points.  
• Background Check: Must pass criminal background screening.  
• Drug-Free: Must pass a DOT or company-required drug test.  
• Physical Readiness: Able to lift luggage and assist airline crew members.  
• Professional Standards: Reliable, presentable, and safety focused.  
• Airport Compliance: Ability to obtain and maintain required airport/city permits.  

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5+ years of leadership experience in transportation, logistics, hospitality, or airport operations
• Proven success in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
• Strong communicator who leads by example
• Decisive and confident in real-time problem solving
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and compliance
• Full availability including weekends and holidays (24/7/365 operation)

Compensation & Benefits

• $85,000 – $95,000 salary
• Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance
• 401(k) with Company Match
• Paid Sick Time & Holiday Pay
• Career growth within a rapidly expanding national company

If you’re ready to take ownership, lead from the front, and grow with a company on the rise—we want to hear from you.
