Please note: This is a remote role, but it’s not a stay-at-home job. Some days are spent working from home, and other times you’ll be out around Columbus handling time-sensitive tasks or coming into the office when needed. Candidates must be based in the Columbus metropolitan area with reliable transportation and able to handle in-person tasks across the city, including short-notice requests.
Who We Are & What We’re Building
Goodwin is building the next generation of software for charter aviation. In private aviation, brokers work directly with clients to plan trips, while operators own and fly the aircraft, and Goodwin powers the workflows that connect the two every day. We’re focused on solving real-world complexity with elegant technology, bringing instant sourcing, polished proposals, modern payments, and AI-driven insights to an industry long held back by manual processes and legacy systems. Our platform helps aviation brokers win more deals, work smarter, and deliver exceptional experiences for their clients.
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 CEO is operating across a wide range of priorities, and both time and attention are limited. Day-to-day logistics, scheduling, and coordination need consistent ownership. Small gaps create real friction. Missed details slow things down.
This role exists to keep things organized and moving so the CEO can stay focused on the highest-impact work. You take ownership of the details, follow-through, and day-to-day execution that keep everything moving.
What You’ll Work On
- Own the CEO’s calendar, ensuring time is scheduled thoughtfully and realistically
- Coordinate meetings, logistics, and follow-ups so commitments happen as planned
- Plan and organize company events, handling details from coordination through execution
- Handle time-sensitive, in-person logistics across Columbus, including tasks that require quick travel and same-day execution
- Move throughout the city as needed to complete high-priority tasks and keep things on track
- Track open items and ensure nothing gets missed or forgotten
- Prioritize competing requests throughout the day using sound judgment
How You’ll Know You’re Succeeding
- Meetings, events, and commitments run smoothly without last-minute issues
- You are consistently fast to respond and take action without repeated follow-up
- Day-to-day logistics are handled reliably and do not create friction
- The CEO’s calendar is well-organized and reflects thoughtful prioritization
- You manage both structured work and unpredictable tasks without things slipping
- The CEO trusts you to handle details and make good decisions independently
- You are known as someone dependable, organized, and easy to reach
What We’re Looking For
