Global Sourcing Specialist

Role Overview

As Global Sourcing & Recovery Specialist, you'll own the supply side of our charter business: sourcing wholesale aircraft capacity from third-party operators around the world and building out BOND's global operator network. You'll sit at the intersection of aircraft market knowledge and commercial negotiation, matching trip requests to available lift while protecting our margin, safety standards, and reputation.

You'll thrive here if you already have an established network of international operator relationships, understand the realities of cross-border flight operations, and have the judgment to move fast on time-sensitive sourcing requests without ever cutting corners on safety.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain a global network of vetted third-party operators to ensure consistent access to wholesale charter capacity.
• Prioritize deep, direct relationships with international operators across EMEA, APAC, Latin America, and the Middle East.
• Negotiate wholesale rates, block-hour agreements, and preferred-operator terms to secure competitive pricing on brokered trips.
• Source aircraft in real time for incoming trip requests, matching mission requirements to available third-party lift.
• Coordinate with Account Management, the OCC, and operators to confirm availability and lock in terms ahead of member-facing commitments.
• Conduct safety and quality vetting of prospective operators in line with BOND's safety standards (e.g., ARGUS, Wyvern, IS-BAO).
• Track and report on sourcing KPIs, including fill rate, margin per brokered trip, and operator response time.

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in aircraft charter brokerage, wholesale aviation sourcing, or aircraft sales, with a demonstrated understanding of aircraft types, performance, and market pricing across international markets.
• Existing relationships with a broad network of international operators (Part 135 and international equivalents such as EASA/UK CAA-regulated carriers) strongly preferred, particularly outside the U.S.
• Track record of negotiating wholesale rates or block-hour terms with aircraft operators.
• Deep understanding of international flight operations, including customs and immigration requirements, permits and overflight clearances, and regional regulatory differences.
• Familiarity with charter safety vetting standards (ARGUS, Wyvern, IS-BAO).
• High system proficiency with charter sourcing platforms and CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot).
• Excellent oral and written communication and negotiation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in aviation, business, or a related field is a strong plus.
