Full Job Description

Job Summary

We're looking for a driven, self-motivated Operations Manager to help lead our next phase of growth — with a clear, defined path to General Manager for the right person. This is a hands-on role for someone who's spent time in aviation detailing (or a closely related aviation service field), knows how to sell and build relationships, and can run a tight field operation.

You'll start by owning day-to-day operations for a team of 3–4 detailers. As you build the book of business and prove out leadership across accounts and territory, you'll grow into a General Manager role with expanded ownership over the P&L, multi-territory oversight, and a direct seat at the table on company strategy.

What You'll Do

Team & Operations Leadership

Manage day-to-day scheduling, quality control, and field performance for a team of 3–4 detailers
Ensure every job meets our documented SOPs and brand standards
Own crew logistics — vehicles, equipment, and supply inventory — across a multi-airport territory

Business Development & Sales

Prospect, cultivate, and close new accounts with FBOs, corporate flight departments, charter operators, and private aircraft owners
Build relationships with key decision-makers — Directors of Maintenance, Chief Pilots, FBO General Managers, and schedulers
Deliver proposals, negotiate service agreements, and convert prospects into long-term recurring customers
Represent RealClean at the airport — ramp presence and FBO relationships are part of the job

Customer Relationships

Serve as the primary point of contact for existing customers, driving retention and satisfaction
Handle escalations and quality issues with professionalism and urgency

Business Management

Track jobs, quotes, and customer activity in our field service software
Monitor territory performance against revenue and margin targets
Report regularly to ownership on pipeline, crew performance, and growth opportunities

What You Bring

Prior experience in aviation detailing, aircraft appearance services, or a closely related aviation ground-service/maintenance field
A track record of selling and closing business — comfortable prospecting, building relationships, and asking for the close
Experience leading or supervising a small team (3+ people)
Self-starter mentality — you don't wait to be told what to do
Comfortable working around aircraft and on ramps at FBOs; able to obtain airport security badging
A&P certification or hands-on aircraft maintenance/detailing background is a strong plus
Valid driver's license; ability to pass a background check and drug screening
Willingness to travel across the Greater Houston territory as needed

Compensation & Growth

Competitive base salary plus performance-based bonus tied to new business growth and account retention, commensurate with experience. This role carries a defined path to General Manager, with expanded compensation, territory scope, and ownership-level involvement in company direction for the right performer
