About The Team You Are Joining

You will be joining a small team of 15 exceptionally skilled, passionate and diverse communicators.

You will need to be good at developing professional relationships with journalists, industry partners, our airline members, other industry associations and your IATA colleagues. And, as a senior member of the team, you will be expected to be adaptable and eager to accept new challenges and projects as needs require.
