- Formulate and execute a multi-year strategic plan that delivers sustainable revenue growth, margin improvement and shareholder value.

- Win and retain airline client contracts and maintain the company’s position as a preferred partner for international and domestic carriers operating in Nigeria.
- Drive digital transformation across service lines, including cargo management systems, smart baggage handling, GSE telematics and real-time operational dashboards.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline such as Engineering, Business Administration, Aviation Management, Operations or an equivalent field.
- Postgraduate qualification such as an MBA or MSc is an advantage but not a requirement.
- Relevant aviation or logistics professional certification such as IATA, ICAO or Institute of Directors (IoD Nigeria) certification is an advantage.
Experience
- 12+ years of senior leadership experience in aviation, transport, logistics or infrastructure services.
- At least 4 years of P&L ownership as CEO, MD, COO or General Manager of a significant business unit.
- At least 4 years of experience managing teams of 200 or more employees across multiple locations.
- Demonstrated experience engaging with government regulators or industry authorities.

- Proven ability to win commercial contracts and build long-term C-suite client relationships.
- Experience leading organisational change involving technology adoption, market expansion or workforce transformation.
Who We Are Looking For
