Manager of Security

Location: Remote but reside within one hour's drive of one of Aero's primary locations (VNY, ASE, OPF, TEB/HPN) — travel to operating locations (Domestic and International) required as needed.

At Aero, we believe that exceptional journeys start with exceptional people. Inspired by the golden age of aviation, we're redefining air travel with a modern approach. Our direct, premium flights via private terminals deliver the comfort of low-contact travel and the effortlessly fabulous experience of flying private. Just as we create an elevated experience for our guests, we invest in creating the same for our people—prioritizing transparency, support, accountability and fulfillment to foster a culture of trust and purpose.

The Manager of Security owns the day-to-day administration of the company's TSA-approved security program and ensures full compliance across our on-demand and public charter operations.

This role is responsible for implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving security procedures—including passenger and accessible property screening, restricted-area and aircraft access controls, threat response, and personnel vetting—while serving as the primary liaison to the TSA and other government stakeholders.
