VP Product Management (Cargo) | Global SaaS Logistics | UK, US, or UAE

Lead the digital transformation of air cargo for a global software leader powering over 200 airlines.

The Opportunity

Our client is a premier global software provider to the aviation industry, delivering an open, modular platform that enables carriers to drive growth and modernise their retailing and settlement solutions.

The cargo industry is undergoing a significant digital shift, moving away from legacy constraints to modern, NDC-compliant cloud architecture. As the VP of Product Management, you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of the Cargo function. You will guide a cross-functional team of 30-40 people to build and launch high-impact "greenfield" initiatives that redefine market standards. You will bridge the gap between technical excellence and commercial success, replacing legacy systems over a 2.5-year period with a modular, AWS-based platform.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Define and Execute Strategy: Establish the long-term vision and roadmap for the Cargo product suite, shifting from a legacy "airport-to-airport" model to a modern "door-to-door" logistics journey.
• Build the Business Case: Drive product development across four strategic blocks: existing air cargo, extended hub-to-hub/door-to-door markets, passenger synergies (dynamic pricing, unified revenue management), and maritime cargo shipping.
• Drive AI & Innovation: Leverage AI/ML and advanced data analytics to solve for the first-mile and last-mile of the cargo journey, implementing predictive analytics and dynamic pricing.
• "0 to 1" Execution: Lead cross-functional teams through the full product lifecycle, researching and validating product hypotheses from ideation to launch.
• Team Leadership: Instill a continuous improvement mindset, set tangible stretch objectives to drive the team forward, and manage succession planning and performance proactively.
• Go-To-Market: Establish go-to-market strategies that clearly articulate a unique value proposition, directing beta and pilot programs to validate products with real-world users.

• Analytical Leadership: Ability to translate complex market data into actionable, data-driven product decisions.
• Management: Strong people management skills with a history of inspiring diverse, global technology teams and managing cross-functional squads.
