Who is Skylink?
We’re a dedicated team working together to bring efficient supply chain solutions to international airlines, MROs and military aircraft fleets.
We deliver this by following our “Never Forget Your Wings” mantra. We're their wings when they need them the most.
Every day we help fleets remain in the air and avoid the complexities of aircraft maintenance.
Since 1986, Skylink has been providing material solutions to the aviation industry. But in 2008 we were reborn. We’ve focused deeply on innovating, relationships and customer service which has been the cornerstone of the Skylink you see today.
As we peak into the future, we are at an incredible point to become a much bigger player in the industry where our team, our customers and our solutions thrive. With 30 years of history behind us we are well positioned for years to come.
At Skylink, we only hire the best, whose values and commitment are #1. It’s your hustle, commitment and service to excellence.
And that's why we want you to join our team!
Where will I work?
You’ll work at our Skylink hub in Sanford, FL, right outside of Orlando, FL.
It's a little more quiet out here.
You’ll have your own workspace and organize it with what makes you happy and inspires you.
You will work daily with various Skylink teams, clients, and supply chain partners that span every country on this fine planet we call home.
How do things happen at Skylink?
You'll work within your purchasing and material team with your own goals and objectives.
But we don't believe in silos and each team has direct impact on other teams. That's why cross functional communication and training are very important here.
Teams are able to make their own decisions as long as they involve people affected in the decision and people who have knowledge in the decision topic.
We are constantly innovating and everyone’s ideas matter. Flexibility and improving is our middle name.
We all work to maximize the value we create for customers and to create “WOW” experiences every step of the way.
What we're looking for
We’re looking for a go-getter who has purchasing and material knowledge, preferably within the aviation industry.
These awesome team members ensure our material requirements are on time and on budget.
You’ll work closely with customer happiness engineers, content creators, dedicated account manager, warehouse and other supply chain champions to provide efficient supply chain solutions for our customers and potential customers.
In order to thrive and survive you’ll need to know how to negotiate, cut POs / ROs and the importance of expediting and following up. You’ll build close relationships with vendors and OEMs so a positive and engaging personality is infectious and required. We only breathe optimism.
You'll also work on re-stocking high consumption material, monitoring minimum stock levels, creating kits and evaluating material to stock. If you have a lot of experience with aviation material...that's a huge browney point.
You’ll run into issues every day. Being able to accept problems and then solving them is a big point when working on our team.
As an individual we invite you to be create and innovate. We look for people that have this unique characteristic to join our team and you very well may be that person.
Being organized is essential and having a cross-cultural mentality is a must as we work with many people from all over the world. Even in stressful times you’ll need to keep calm and focus on creating the “WOW.” You’ll be tested to think outside of the box and avoid industry norms. Being organized will help you get through these difficult points.
We strive for a balance of being a team that feels like a family. This means we share feedback regularly, support each other’s self-improvement efforts, and take mistakes as opportunities to learn together. Using your mind to innovate is highly regarded.
If your not afraid to negotiate, your organized and you communicate well you’ll be a perfect person for this role.
What we value
We are deeply passionate about working as a team and going over and beyond for our customers.
Creating “WOW” experiences, be willing to adapt and drive change, hustling and driving maximum efficiency, accepting problems and solving them, building a team-oriented approach, and having passion and integrity are the core values we live by.
