The role
We’re looking for a Customer Service Manager who thrives in a fast‑paced operational environment and can lead from the front: inspiring teams, strengthening performance, and shaping the end‑to‑end airport experience for all customers, including those who require additional assisted travel support.
As Customer Service Manager, you’ll provide visible, values‑led leadership across terminal operations. You’ll lead and inspire frontline colleagues across Customer Services and Assisted Travel, driving service excellence, continuous improvement, and customer‑led transformation — ensuring every journey is effortless, inclusive and consistently high quality.
You’ll operate at scale in a high‑volume airport environment, with responsibility for workforce leadership, resource planning and operational performance — influencing key cost drivers such as staffing models, deployment efficiency, training investment and absence management.
What will make you successful in this role
- Customer Service Excellence — empathetic, professional service with strong communication, adapting your approach to meet diverse customer needs and resolve issues effectively.
- Collaborative Working — proven ability to work inclusively with colleagues, leaders and cross‑functional airport teams to deliver a joined‑up customer journey.
- Problem Solving & Decision Making — strong judgement in complex or time‑critical situations in a fast‑paced operational environment.
- Attention to Detail — consistently high standards of accuracy across operations, customer interactions and compliance requirements.
- Adaptability & Resilience — comfortable adjusting priorities in response to changing operational demands, regulations and service expectations.
- Leadership Capability — experience motivating, coaching and developing a large and diverse team, role‑modelling positive behaviours and building accountability and engagement.
- Digital & Systems Competence — confidence using operational IT systems and tools (including passenger information and check‑in systems), with the ability to learn new technologies quickly.
