About the role
Company Description
American Transfers & Tours has been moving people for more than four decades. What began as transportation for senior and tour groups evolved into a nationally recognized ground transportation management company serving conventions, sporting events, entertainment venues, corporate clients, and critical-response operations across the country. ATT manages the full scope of transportation logistics from planning through execution, including event shuttle programs, airport meet-and-greet, employee and crew shuttles, parking management, and rapid-deployment transportation for time-sensitive and high-demand situations.
Role Description
The Transportation Director leads ATT's ground transportation operations across all active and prospective engagements. This role is accountable for the strategic planning, execution oversight, and scalability of transportation programs spanning events, conventions, corporate accounts, and rapid-deployment operations nationwide. The Director manages multi-project complexity, owns high-level client relationships, and builds the operational infrastructure that allows ATT to grow into new markets and contract types. When not managing active deployments, this role is forward-facing: developing processes, pursuing strategic accounts, and positioning ATT to compete and win. Regular domestic travel is required, including extended periods during major deployments and events.
