A DAY IN A LIFE

At Teleport, we’re building toward IPO — and that means doing the boring things well. Execution, discipline, and follow-through matter as much as big ideas.

Your day will be varied, often crossing functions, but most of your time will focus on delivering results, owning your scope end-to-end, making fast, data-informed decisions, and following through on fundamentals like reporting, documentation, and processes.

How we work matters as much as what we achieve. Doing the basics right, every time, sets us up for success. 

Job Description

Position Purpose

The Manager, Air Partners is a strategic leadership role within the Capacity Building team, responsible for architecting and governing the airline partnership strategy for a significant market segment or region. This role drives the "Faster, Cheaper, Better" mission by designing scalable capacity frameworks, dismantling enterprise-level silos between network design and regional airline operations, and building a high-performing bench of air partner experts.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Architect Regional Capacity Strategy: Translate Commercial business objectives into a comprehensive air partner roadmap, ensuring that airline alliances, interline agreements, and block space allocations scale ahead of Teleport’s growth curve.
• Break Enterprise-Level Silos: Lead high-stakes collaboration between the Group Leadership Team (GLT), Finance, and Regional Hubs to resolve systemic bottlenecks in global pricing parity, cargo capacity prioritization, and international airline compliance.
• Govern Partnership Integrity: Total accountability for the Group’s air partner standards. Ensure all regional teams strictly adhere to Teleport’s "Do Boring Better" philosophy regarding contract hygiene, rate filing precision, and partner performance reporting rigor.

• Influential Strategic Collaboration: Navigates complex internal organizational dynamics and external airline landscapes to secure critical cargo space and unblock enterprise-level growth constraints.
• Talent Empowerment & Mentorship: Acts as a "Manager of Managers," developing the next generation of capacity leaders by coaching sub-managers and empowering them to lead high-stakes airline negotiations independently.
• High-Impact Decision Quality: Makes informed, rapid decisions regarding capacity commitments and partner trade-offs that balance immediate network speed with long-term financial sustainability.
• Leadership Culture: Shapes the leadership culture within the function, serving as a mentor to new capacity leaders and setting the standard for managerial excellence and technical rigor.
