About the role

You are the founder's integrator and force multiplier.
You take intent and turn it into execution across every front Navi is fighting on, and you do it with taste, speed, and zero ego.
Deployment operations at training centers.

Own deployment operations and customer onboarding across flight schools, airlines, and military sites
Own the operational cadence on our Air Force engagements, including the deployment at the USAF Test Pilot School at Edwards and active integration work on the T-38 and T-6
Manage investor and partner communications: monthly updates, data room, metrics packages
Build and maintain operational dashboards: milestones, burn, pipeline, revenue conversion
Build the systems and cadences that let a small team operate like a much larger one
A role that scales into a senior operating position (COO, VP Ops, or your own thing) as the company grows

You have run programs in ambiguous, high-tempo environments.
You have closed things or structured them from scratch
You can brief an investor at 8am, coordinate a deployment at noon, and prep a DoD deliverable by EOD

Aviation or air operations experience
Military background (field grade officer, senior NCO, or special operations with program leadership)
Defense program experience, ideally with the Air Force or training commands
If we do this right, this matters
Flight training on Navi's dime.
Earn your pilot's license and learn the domain the only way it can actually be learned
A seat at the table on every major decision the company makes
We do not wait for permission or perfect information.

Meaningful equity in a category-defining company with real revenue, real defense contracts, and real commercial deployments.

Coordinate fluently across engineering, customers, defense stakeholders, and investors
Direct exposure to investors, generals, and customers most operators never get near in an entire career
