Toronto, Canada Greater Toronto Airports Authority Full time

The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) operates Toronto Pearson International Airport—the largest airport in Canada, among the top five gateways into the United States, and one of the world's most internationally connected airports. Recognized by the Airports Council International (ACI) as the “Best Large Airport in North America serving more than 40 million passengers” for the sixth time, GTAA is poised to accelerate its transformative journey. At this vital juncture in Pearson’s evolution—and
at the inception of an exciting and massive infrastructure program that will be revered by the industry—the organization is steadfastly committed to the provision of an exceptional passenger experience, continuing to be a central artery for global travel, and manifesting the ‘airport of the future.’ Leveraging Toronto's status as one of the fastest-growing cities in North America and the world's most multicultural centre, GTAA will continue to harness this status and diversity to further position Pearson as the premier gateway for travelers worldwide.

Reporting to the President and CEO, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) is accountable for leading all aspects of GTAA’s safe and efficient 24/7 operations. In partnership with their Executive Team peers, the incumbent is responsible for the development and fulfilment of GTAA’s Strategic Plan, which includes transforming and elevating the customer experience, forging strong and flexible operational efficiency, creating financial resiliency, driving innovation, and developing a high-performing and resilient workforce and culture. They will also play a pivotal role in the organization’s large-scale transformative capital program now underway, ensuring operations in connection with the program are smooth, safe, and efficient. Of note, the COO is responsible for improving airport flow and processes, which is connected to the development and execution of a passenger-focused strategy, all while fostering excellence at the airport—daily—as the organization pursues its long-term objectives.

The Chief Operating Officer leads an experienced Operations leadership team and plays a pivotal role in shaping management decisions throughout the organization, thereby contributing significantly to GTAA’s overall success.

A) a degree from a recognized university, preferably in an area that relates to aviation, transportation, business, public administration, or engineering;

C) experience leading an airport Operations division or adjacent portfolio, preferably against the backdrop of a large-scale capital construction program;
D) an inspiring leadership style and collaborative nature, thereby ensuring synergy and connection with the organization’s current Executive Team as well as the staff members working in the Operations division; and
