Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. We’re on a mission to make flying better than ‘nice’. And to do that, it takes a team of talented people who are passionate about customer experience, doing the right thing always, with a focus on safety – in the air, on the ground and in our workplaces. A team who values real diversity and inclusion, in a big brand with big ambitions.
What you’ll be doing:
In this role, you’ll partner closely with the Airport Manager and Ramp Duty Leaders to optimise performance across both domestic and international ramp operations. You’ll play a key role in ensuring the highest standards of safety, operational performance and customer experience are consistently delivered, while working collaboratively with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders.
You’ll also support Virgin Australia’s ongoing transformation by driving continuous improvement initiatives across ramp operations and delivering on our customer value proposition. Working in close partnership with the Airport Operations Support Manager, Customer, you’ll help foster a true “one team” approach across above and below wing operations. In addition, you’ll take ownership in building capability and strengthening the leadership pipeline through effective succession planning.
