This covers special handling and time-critical products such as pharma, perishables, live animals, express, high-value and e-commerce. You will lead a team of subject matter experts and make sure every product has a clear value proposition, is priced to maximise yield, delivers consistently across our network and our joint business partners' networks, and drives profitable growth.

Key Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Portfolio Management

• Set the global product strategy and roadmap in line with Qatar Airways Cargo's objectives.
• Own the full product lifecycle, from idea and business case through launch, performance tracking, improvement and retirement.
• Set KPIs for each product and review portfolio performance regularly with Sales, RM and Operations.
• Prepare business cases for new products and investments, including financial return, risk, and brand and reputation impact.

Commercial Development & Go-to-Market

• Find and prioritise growth opportunities by vertical, lane and customer segment, and turn them into product growth plans in close cooperation with Sales.
• Run product launches and relaunches, including value propositions, positioning, and commercial and training materials, with the Sales, Marketing and regional teams.
• Build and strengthen relationships with key shippers, manufacturers, forwarders and industry bodies to shape the portfolio and support commercial success.

Strategic Airline Partnerships & Joint Businesses

• Work closely with joint business partners, including IAG Cargo and MASkargo, to develop and roll out joint product offers.
• Align product definitions, service standards, handling procedures and acceptance rules across partner networks, so customers get the same experience end to end.
• Lead product governance with partners, covering joint roadmaps, performance reviews and continuous improvement, and help grow the value of each joint business.
• Assess new partnership product opportunities, such as interline, codeshare and network extensions, that widen the reach of Qatar Airways Cargo's portfolio.

Pricing, Revenue & Distribution

• Work with Revenue Management to design product pricing structures, surcharges, capacity and acceptance rules that make the most of each product's value.
• Make sure products are fully built into quotation, pricing and booking systems, and can be booked through direct and third-party digital channels.

Product Governance & Operational Delivery

• Set product standards, procedures and service-level agreements, and monitor how well the hub and network deliver against them, working with Cargo Operations.
• Define the product requirements for infrastructure, equipment and handling partners (for example, temperature-controlled facilities and transport), working with the infrastructure and operations teams.
• Run product quality, audit and continuous improvement programmes.
• Keep up with regulatory and industry standards, such as IATA CEIV, dangerous goods and live animal regulations, and make sure products stay compliant.
• Coordinate business continuity and contingency planning for sensitive products with Operations, IOC and other stakeholders.
