- Acting as a primary point of contact for customers via phone, email and digital channels, providing accurate and timely information on schedules, products and services
- Preparing and managing cargo quotations and bookings in line with pricing strategy, capacity guidelines and defined authority levels
- Monitoring bookings to ensure alignment with operational capacity and commercial objectives, identifying and escalating risks where needed
- Maintaining accurate data capture across all systems, ensuring compliance with cargo policies and regulatory requirements
- Achieving productivity, quality and customer satisfaction KPIs while consistently protecting revenue integrity
- Collaborating closely with Operations, Sales and Revenue Management teams to deliver seamless service and continuous improvement
You’re a customer-focused and commercially aware professional who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, balancing service excellence with attention to detail and sound judgement.
- You bring previous experience in a customer service or contact centre environment, ideally within a KPI-driven setting
- You have strong communication skills, both written and verbal, and feel confident handling customer queries professionally and clearly
- You combine commercial awareness with accuracy, understanding how your work supports revenue protection and business performance
- You’re highly organised, detail-oriented and comfortable prioritising effectively under pressure
- You’re confident using Microsoft Office and operational systems, with experience in cargo, logistics or airline environments a plus
