About OpsLab:
Modern warfighters require state-of-the-art software platforms to maintain operational readiness. Today's forces rely on antiquated squadron operations tools that are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and lack the ability to predict readiness levels. OpsLab leverages automation and innovative asset management software to enhance operational readiness for warfighters. Harnessing the power of operations research, our software eliminates the guesswork from squadron operations by automatically generating forward-looking flight schedules, instantly adapting to disruptions, predicting critical resource deficits, and streamlining logistics. This not only improves well-being for pilots, schedulers, and trainers, but it also empowers commanders with unprecedented capabilities to predict operational readiness.

- Experience with – or an authentic desire to learn – CRMs and sales management platforms (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.)
