Our Operational Strength Program (OSP) is designed for ambitious, high-potential leaders ready to master our operations and drive their careers. This immersive program combines structured learning, functional rotations, and real-world immersion—equipping you with the strategic skills, leadership confidence and business acumen to successfully lead operation for a Fortune 500 organization.

What You’ll Do:

Join us as a Trainee in our Operational Strength Program and kick-start your path to becoming an Operations Manager. This full-time, immersive program combines hands-on training in operations, customer service, logistics, and team leadership with a cohort of peers from across the country.

You’ll rotate through key operational functions, receive personalized mentorship from experienced leaders, and build the skills to drive team performance and operational excellence in a fast-paced environment.

With operations across the country, successful candidates must be open to relocation in order to grow their careers and advance to more senior level management roles. Additionally, you may be moved during or upon successful completion of OSP as you transition into an Operations Manager role at one of our airport locations.

This is your opportunity to grow within a Fortune 500 company, accelerate your career, and build a strong foundation for long-term leadership success.

As an OSP Manager-in-Training, you’ll embark on a comprehensive 12-month career launching journey that includes:

  • Structured learning to strengthen your skill set
  • Growing within an OSP peer cohort designed for collaboration and support
  • Applying new skills daily through hands-on experience
  • Rotating across different operations functions
  • Coaching and support from senior leaders
  • Additional compensation for top performers
  • Perks to accelerate your journey, including a company car (insurance, gas, and maintenance fully covered)
  • Relocation support to move to a new location

Perks You’ll Get:

  • Annual Compensation: $52,000/year
  • Sign On Bonus: $2,500 to get you started
  • Company Vehicle: Gas, insurance, and maintenance included
  • Career placement: Guaranteed transition into a management role upon program completion
  • Paid Time Off
  • Leadership Development Training & Coaching from Senior Leaders
  • 401K Retirement Plan with full company match up to 6% following 1-year of service
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Competitive Medical, Dental, Vision, Life and Disability insurance
  • Voluntary Benefits: Group Legal, Identity Theft Protection, and additional life insurance coverage, and other voluntary benefit programs
  • Employee Discounts: Reduced pricing on Avis / Budget vehicle purchases and other employee discounts
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Counseling, financial/legal consultation, and care service referrals

What we’re looking for:

  • 2- or 4-year college degree OR 4 years of military service
  • Willingness to relocate based on business needs
  • Data-focused problem solver with strong analytical skills
  • Experience as a team member or leader (e.g. sports, clubs, military, etc.)
  • Ability to work shifts, weekends, and holidays
  • Valid driver’s license
  • Strong, leadership potential, resilience and passion for leading teams
  • Ability to thrive in a hands-on, fast-paced, high-volume environment
  • Emotional intelligence, urgency, and a solutions-focused mindset
  • Regular, on site presence (this role is not remote)
