Who We Are

& What We’re Building At Goodwin, we build tech for companies that sell private charter flights. In this industry, brokers work directly with travelers to source trips and manage client relationships, while operators own and manage the aircraft and crews that actually fly them. Behind the scenes, brokers have traditionally juggled nonstop phone calls, email threads, and spreadsheets to match each client request with the right aircraft at the right time.

It is fast, detail-heavy work where timing and accuracy matter. Our platform brings structure and speed to that process. Brokers use Goodwin to send requests, compare options, and manage trips in one place instead of juggling dozens of conversations.

It drives efficiency and our operations team drives follow-through. Together, we help brokers move quickly and confidently when details matter most so they can focus on serving their clients and growing their business. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio with distributed talent across the US, Goodwin is on a fast-growth trajectory as we redefine private aviation technology from the ground up.

Why This Role Exists Our platform brings structure and speed to charter booking, and this industry still depends on real-time coordination and sharp judgment. Aircraft availability changes. Operators miss automated requests.

Urgent trips stack up quickly. When that happens, someone has to pick up the phone, get clear answers, and move the trip forward. That is where this role comes in.

The Aviation Operations Coordinator, (referred to the Sourcing Associate internally at Goodwin) sits at the center of live trip activity. You ensure requests do not stall. You follow up with operators, gather accurate quotes, clarify details, and keep momentum in the system so brokers can confidently present options to their clients.

As we grow, this role ensures our marketplace stays responsive and reliable. Our technology drives efficiency, and our sourcing team ensures execution. Together, that combination allows brokers to spend more time serving clients and growing their businesses instead of chasing down aircraft availability.

m. m. What You’ll Work On You’ll be part of our in-office operations team in Columbus.

The environment is fast-moving, collaborative, and built around constant communication. You’ll sit at the center of live trip activity each day.
