About You:

• You’re a commercially minded leader who translates complex data into clear, actionable strategy and sees critical initiatives through to completion.
• You bring rigorous quantitative skills and understand that errors in logic, judgment or math are costly and difficult to reverse.

• Establish and govern pricing frameworks, rate structures, floors, surcharges and approval guidelines that enable disciplined, consistent commercial decisions and clear alignment across Pricing, Revenue Management, Sales and GSSAs (General Sales and Service Agents).
• Oversee pricing distribution and rate integrity, including rate verification, to ensure the accuracy of what we sell and what we bill.
• Own the cargo capacity strategy across short- and long-term horizons, overseeing belly capacity planning, forecasting, overbooking optimization and customer allotment decisions to maximize network-wide contribution, acting as the final point of escalation for critical booking and capacity decisions.
• Lead the development of commercial and operational dashboards, KPIs and analytical tools, including flight-level and AWB-level (air waybill) performance analytics, and champion the integrity of the Cargo dataset.
• Partner with FP&A and Cargo leadership to lead the annual budget cycle, and establish a consistent cadence for monthly forecasting, performance reporting and business reviews.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for passenger Network Planning and other commercial teams, providing cargo insight and analysis for business cases on new markets, partnerships and strategic initiatives.
• Develop high-impact presentations and recommendations for Director and VP-level leadership, synthesizing complex analysis to facilitate clear and timely decisions.
• Assess current pricing, revenue management and analytics processes, and deliver a prioritized roadmap for continuous improvement.
• Lead, coach and develop a high-performing team, defining roles, expectations and performance criteria, making hiring decisions and determining how resources are deployed.
• Perform other duties and special projects as assigned by the Cargo leadership team.

Experience and qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in business, Economics, Finance, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Operations Research or a related field.
