About Electra

Air travel is about to become something more: more direct, more accessible, and more connected to the places where people live, work and want to be. Every day in the U.S., people make 35 million trips of 50–500 miles, stuck in traffic or routed through crowded hubs. Chances are, you've been one of them. At Electra, we're changing that with the EL9, a nine-passenger, hybrid-electric aircraft that takes off and lands in just 150 feet. Our Ultra Short technology opens up thousands of new places to fly, beyond conventional runways, congested airports and long drives. We're backed by Lockheed Martin, Honeywell and Safran. Operators worldwide have signed intent-to-purchase agreements for the first 2,200 aircraft we produce, and we're moving toward first test flights in 2027.

Getting a new kind of aircraft airborne takes more than ambition. It takes our kind of bold: people who think big while working in the real world. Who move ideas into action and collaborate without silos. Who put people first and make room at the table for everyone. Who challenge one another without diminishing one another.

Sound like you? Then look beyond what you thought were your own limits, and help us take flight beyond runways.

The Role

As our Recruiting Coordinator, you'll own the day-to-day execution of Electra's interview process - spanning scheduling, panel coordination, and interview kit prep as our small TA team scales hiring across the company. You'll be the first point of contact for many of our candidates, ensuring every interaction reflects the caliber of team and mission we're building.

• Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to keep the interview process moving smoothly
• Troubleshoot scheduling conflicts and last-minute changes with a calm, solutions-first attitude

• Ability to be onsite in our Manassas, VA office
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Bonus Points

• Prior experience in a fast-paced startup environment
• Familiarity with aerospace, aviation, or hardware hiring
