Senior Manager – Cargo Business Planning & Network Economics

Essential background

• Previous hands-on experience in a comparable airline economics, business performance, route profitability or commercial planning role is essential.
• Air cargo experience is strongly preferred. Relevant passenger airline experience is acceptable if the candidate has directly worked with airline economics and profitability.
• The candidate must have previously owned and challenged analyses and business cases, not simply supported or reported on them.

Core capability

• Strong command of airline economics including revenue, yield, payload/load factor, operating costs, contribution and route profitability.
• Proven ability to build and challenge business cases, budgets, forecasts, break-even analyses and scenario models.
• Ability to assess alternative operating and capacity models, including ACMI, charter and own-operated capacity.
• Advanced Excel capability and ability to turn commercial, operational and financial data into clear management recommendations.
• BI and data-visualisation experience is useful, but this is not primarily a reporting or dashboard role.

Profile

• Senior enough to work independently from problem definition through to recommendation.
• Strong commercial judgement and ability to challenge assumptions across Commercial, Operations, Finance and external partners.
• Comfortable operating in a start-up environment with incomplete information and evolving assumptions.
• Able to communicate and defend conclusions credibly with senior management.

Not suitable as standalone experience

• Pure accounting, corporate FP&A, BI/reporting or general aviation backgrounds without previous hands-on responsibility in a comparable airline economics or business performance role.
