About Us:
Flytrex is revolutionizing suburban on-demand delivery from the skies up, literally. As the leading drone delivery company in the U.S., we’re scaling our operations across Dallas-Fort Worth, bringing ultrafast, on-demand delivery to doorsteps via autonomous aircraft.
What You’ll Do:
The DFW General Manager leads Flytrex’s operational and commercial activities across the metro, ensuring successful drone station performance, market penetration, and customer adoption. This role spans operations management, commercial growth, and marketing execution, with direct responsibility for building and mentoring local teams while aligning closely with global leadership.
We're looking for a builder: someone who's built something up from scratch, knows what breaks in the field, and has the commercial instincts to grow a market, not just run one.
Key Responsibilities:
- Operations Leadership: Oversee end-to-end operations of all active DFW drone stations, ensuring reliable performance, safety, and scalability. Define KPIs, SLAs, enforce operational standards, and implement process automation to drive efficiency.
- Commercial Development: Lead local commercial activities including customer acquisition, partner development, and expansion into new markets. Support strategic partnerships building and long-term growth.
- Marketing Execution: Support execution of the Company’s marketing strategy, including local campaigns, community outreach, social media initiatives, and doorhanger distribution programs. Drive customer penetration and engagement at the neighbourhood level.
- Team Building & Leadership: Recruit, build, train, and mentor high-performing operations, commercial, and marketing teams. Foster a culture of excellence, accountability, collaboration, and customer obsession.
- Site Deployment: Collaborate with the Real Estate deployment team on site deployment projects for new drone station facilities to ensure smooth site setup and handoff to successful operational launch.
- Fleet & Resource Planning: Define drone and infrastructure needs across stations, ensuring service availability, capacity planning, and alignment with global supply and engineering. Collaborate closely with the CAO, R&D, and Engineering teams.
