• Drive continuous improvement through technology and AI 
• Influence meaningful outcomes for our people and our business 

The impact you'll make 

Behind every successful operation is a team of people making things happen. In this role, you'll lead a group of experienced professionals who provide critical support to our Cabin Crew community, helping ensure the right processes, systems and support are in place to keep the operation running smoothly. 

You'll be a trusted partner to both your team and business leaders, creating strong connections, driving continuous improvement and helping turn good ideas into meaningful outcomes. Success in this role is about more than delivering projects or improving processes. It's about bringing people with you on the journey. 

Meet the team 

The Cabin Crew Support Team sits at the centre of a wide range of administrative, operational and people-related activities that help keep our Cabin Crew operation running smoothly.

While much of the team's work happens behind the scenes, its impact is felt every day across our operation. The Cabin Crew Support Team provides the support, information and processes that help our crew focus on what they do best: delivering safe and exceptional experiences for our customers.

• Demonstrated experience leading teams in complex administrative, operational support or service delivery environments. 
• Champion smarter ways of working by using technology and AI-enabled solutions to reduce manual effort, improve efficiency and support better business outcomes. 
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn insights into action. 
• A pragmatic and adaptable leadership style, knowing when to be hands-on and when to empower others. 
• Experience working with governance, compliance and policy-driven processes. 
• A genuine commitment to developing people, creating accountability and fostering a positive team culture.
