The posting

Company Description

Founded in the Queensland outback in 1920, Qantas has grown to be Australia’s largest regional, domestic, and international airline. Qantas has a range of subsidiary businesses that support the overall operations of the Group. The Qantas Group’s main business is the transportation of customers and freight using two complementary airline brands — Qantas and Jetstar — operating regional, domestic, and international services.

Job Description

  • Drive safety, operational performance and customer experience while leading a diverse airport operation
  • Be accountable for the success of a strategically significant airport within the Qantas network
  • Permanent full-time leadership opportunity based in Canberra

At Qantas, we represent Australia to the world. We’re known for our spirit, mateship and a can-do attitude. The aviation sector doesn’t stand still. Challenged to adapt and change, we’ve responded by reinventing our customer experience, broadening our business and achieving what was thought impossible.

As the Manager Canberra Airport, you will be responsible for the overall leadership and performance of Qantas' Canberra operation, one of the network's most strategically significant ports.

Reporting to the Head of Airports – NSW & ACT, you will lead the Customer Service team and maintain oversight of the Ground Operations and Fleet Presentation Ground Service Providers. You will also establish and maintain close relationships with all operational areas including Engineering, Catering, Cabin Crew, Lounges, Flight Operations and third-party providers. You'll be accountable for delivering outstanding safety, customer, operational, people and financial outcomes while ensuring the airport operates efficiently and effectively every day.

This is a highly visible leadership role requiring a strong on-airport presence, exceptional stakeholder management and the ability to balance strategic thinking with operational excellence. You'll work closely with internal and external stakeholders including airport authorities, government agencies, suppliers and operational leaders to ensure Canberra continues to deliver exceptional outcomes for our customers and our business.

You'll have:

  • Demonstrated leadership experience within a complex operational environment
  • Proven ability to lead large and diverse teams through change while maintaining high levels of engagement and performance
  • Strong people leadership capability, with experience developing leaders and building high-performing teams
  • Experience driving operational excellence, safety performance and customer outcomes simultaneously
  • Strong commercial acumen, including experience managing budgets, resources and business performance
  • Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to build strong relationships across multiple levels of an organisation and with external partners
  • Demonstrated experience managing industrial environments and fostering productive employee and union relationships
  • Strong analytical, planning and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make sound business decisions in a fast-paced environment
  • A thorough understanding of safety management systems and a genuine commitment to creating a strong safety culture
  • Tertiary qualifications in business, logistics or a related discipline, or equivalent industry experience

Why the Qantas Group?

At the Qantas Group, we're committed to delivering exceptional experiences for our customers while connecting communities across Australia and around the world. As the leader of our Canberra operation, you'll have the opportunity to influence outcomes across safety, customer experience, people and commercial performance, while leading a highly visible and strategically important part of our network.

You'll join a team where collaboration, innovation and leadership are valued, and where you'll have opportunities to develop your career across a broad range of operational and leadership pathways. Whether your future lies in airport operations, regional leadership or broader group opportunities, we'll support your growth and development along the way.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
