The Company is seeking an Executive Director to serve as the chief executive officer and primary public voice. The successful candidate will be responsible for advancing and protecting the interests of the association's members through strategic leadership, advocacy, member engagement, and financial stewardship. This role requires a highly visible and accessible leader who can balance external advocacy with operational management, ensuring the association's relevance, credibility, and long-term success.

Key qualifications include experience in advocacy, government affairs, or regulatory engagement, and a preference for those with established credibility and visibility within the logistics or air cargo industry. The role demands a responsive, accessible, and member-focused leader who is a credible and effective industry advocate, capable of managing competing priorities and excelling in highly visible external roles.
