• Collaborate with our 24/7 operations team to ensure seamless execution from pickup through delivery.
• Build and maintain relationships with carriers, operators, and logistics partners globally.
• Represent Surf On Demand and Surf Air brands professionally in client interactions, industry events, and partner engagements.

Qualifications

• Experienced in air cargo charter, freight forwarding, logistics, or high-value B2B sales.
• Existing book of business or strong industry network preferred (freight forwarders, 3PLs, shippers).
• Knowledge of cargo aircraft types, payload capabilities, and routing/logistics considerations.
• Familiarity with aviation and cargo platforms such as Avinode, CargoWise, or similar tools is a plus.
• Strong negotiation, problem-solving, and client relationship management skills.
• Entrepreneurial, self-driven, and comfortable operating in a commission-only environment.
