Manager Aviation Safety and Security (Dubai) Job Locations AE-Dubai ID 2024-3614 Category Safety Type Regular Full-Time Joby Overview Located in Northern California, the team at Joby Aviation is driven by our goal of creating an affordable, all-electric air transportation system. Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. Since 2009, our team has worked steadily to make this dream a reality. We’ve designed and tested many generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis. We’re looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push onwards toward certifying the Joby aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration, scaling our manufacturing, and preparing to launch commercial service in 2025. Overview

Joby Aviation is seeking a passionate and experienced aviation safety and security professional to join our UAE team in launching Joby’s first urban air mobility (UAM) air taxi service. This service, launched in cooperation with Dubai's Road and Transport Authority (RTA), will feature Joby’s all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) and is expected to be amongst the first eVTOL UAM services in the world. You will report to Joby’s UAE General Manager and will work closely alongside Joby’s US-based Head of Safety and US-based Head of Security.

You will also be required to manage, implement, and monitor the organization’s aviation security program to safeguard passengers, staff, aircraft, and facilities.

 

You must be a problem solver, a strategic thinker, and a driven individual who can represent Joby’s vision while still being capable of driving tactical execution tasks on-site, and with US-based counterparts.
