Job description

We are looking for a dynamic and forward-thinking leader to take on the role of Head of Sales & Handling for Canada, responsible for one of our most competitive and strategically relevant markets.

This is more than a leadership role—it is a unique opportunity to strengthen your general management profile, drive commercial success, and lead transformation in a complex, fast-evolving environment.

Tasks

Your Mission
As Head of Sales & Handling, you will take full ownership of Lufthansa Cargo’s sales and operational performance across Canada. You will lead diverse teams, translate strategy into local execution, and represent the company towards customers, partners, and authorities.

  • Drive commercial performance and market growth, maximizing revenue and yield
  • Lead and develop high-performing sales & handling teams across multiple locations
  • Translate global strategy into impactful local market initiatives
  • Act as senior customer interface, building strong relationships with key accounts
  • Analyze market trends, customer data, & competitor activity to derive winning strategies
  • Ensure efficient, compliant, & high-quality handling operations
  • Manage budgets, forecasts, & costs with a strong focus on financial discipline & profitability

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Full P&L responsibility (revenue/cost ownership)
  • E2E accountability across sales, operations, and people leadership
  • Exposure to multi-brand responsibility (LH Cargo & SWISS WorldCargo)

* Takeover of additional tasks when required

Behind the scenes

  • Build a culture of accountability, performance, and collaboration
  • Shape the future of Lufthansa Cargo in one of its key international markets
