Within Metrea, the Special Air Missions Group (SAM) plays a crucial role. This group is responsible for the development and delivery of Metrea's Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Special Mobility, and Aerial Firefighting (AFF) capabilities.

The Travel Coordinator role at Metrea is an essential position focused on managing and coordinating complex domestic as well as international travel arrangements for Enterprise Teammates. This involves a deep understanding of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) and the ability to apply them meticulously to ensure that every travel activity complies with the relevant policies and procedures. The Travel Coordinator is tasked with processing travel authorizations, vouchers, and reimbursement packages accurately while working closely with travelers, leadership teams, and finance departments to obtain timely approvals and maintain proper documentation. Key responsibilities for this role include managing travel budgets, monitoring discrepancies, maintaining accurate travel records, and generating detailed reports for audits and management reviews. Additionally, the Travel Coordinator needs experience with federal travel systems such as DTS, ConcurGov, E2 Solutions, and D365 to handle travel requests efficiently and ensure compliance with FAR guidelines. This position requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to handle multiple priorities in a fast-paced, federal contracting environment. Metrea prides itself on its core value "rooted in humility" which is complemented by four key attributes: entrepreneurial, systematic, discerning, and over-deliver. These characteristics form the foundation of Metrea's Teammate Firmware—the culture that fosters hyper-collaborative and dynamically hierarchical teams passionate about their work. This culture is nurtured during the hiring process and continuously supported throughout the employee lifecycle, creating an environment where employees can thrive personally and professionally. This Travel Coordinator position is full-time and non-exempt, with a typical work schedule Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. While the work location is offered as a hybrid setup with three days in the office per week, the Tampa headquarters will serve as the home office. The company offers a robust benefits package including medical, dental, vision insurance, retirement plans with immediate vesting, and parental leave. Occasional travel may be required for meetings or training purposes. The role demands U.S. Citizenship due to government contract work and the ability to obtain a SECRET security clearance is preferred.
