Are you an experienced aviation professional looking for your next challenge? Do you have experience with Manchester airport recruiting and delivering to peak demand? Would you like to play a key role in one of the UK's leading airport workforce solutions businesses? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
At Optime, we're building dedicated Service Delivery Teams that take ownership of client success across our airport network. We're looking for a Recruitment Team Leader to become the Recruitment and Delivery expert within our Manchester Service Delivery Team, supporting Manchester, Liverpool and Belfast City Airports.
This is not a traditional management role. Instead, you'll be the operational lead for recruitment delivery, working alongside airport stakeholders and the Service Delivery Manager to ensure best in class candidates are deployed and their journey with Optime.
