Auto-translated from Spanish · original: Supervisor de Operaciones - Aeropuerto de Santiago

Rotating 4 day weekOnsite · Santiago, Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile

About Us

We are a company committed to excellence in transport management. Our mission is to offer an efficient, safe, and high-quality service, ensuring an exceptional experience for our passengers.

About the Role

We are looking for an Airport Supervisor to lead daily service operations from the field: present during the shift, close to the team and passengers, resolving issues in real-time, and setting the standard by example.

This is NOT a remote management or desk-based role: most of the day is spent at the airport, alongside coordinators, drivers, and the customer service team. We are looking for someone who combines people leadership with real operational execution — someone who steps in to help the team when there is a long line, a delayed flight, or a missing driver, rather than just delegating and reviewing reports from the office.

If you have experience leading teams in high-demand operations, get directly involved when the team needs a hand, and enjoy a dynamic and changing environment, this role is for you.

🎯 Role Objective

Supervise and coordinate, leading from the field, the operations of the shared transport team at the airport, ensuring an efficient, safe, and high-quality service for passengers.

📋 What you will do

Supervision and Leadership

  • Direct and motivate the team of coordinators, customer service staff, and drivers, being physically present during the shift and available to provide operational support when demand requires it (covering a position, supporting at the desk, assisting during critical moments).
  • Train and evaluate the team to foster their development and improve performance.
  • Promote and safeguard the brand's image and values.

Operational Management

  • Coordinate daily shared transport service activities, ensuring compliance with schedules and routes.
  • Monitor service performance and act as the first line of resolution for unforeseen events (flight delays, high demand, absenteeism), making decisions on the spot.
  • Meet sales and service quality targets.
  • Perform cash reconciliations.
  • Detect opportunities for service improvement based on daily observations, and propose and drive them without waiting to be asked.

Customer Service & Quality

  • Guarantee excellent service, managing inquiries and complaints effectively.
  • Collect and analyze feedback to implement improvements in the passenger experience.

Control & Reporting

  • Ensure compliance with safety and quality regulations.
  • Prepare reports on performance, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency.
  • Collaborate with logistics, marketing, and sales to optimize the service.

✨ What we are looking for in you

  • 3 to 6 years of experience leading operational teams in the field under shift schedules, with high customer exposure and time pressure. You may come from airports, transport, retail, high-turnover restaurants, last-mile/logistics, or hospitality.
  • A genuine willingness to get involved in the field: resolving, covering, and supporting the team, not just delegating and reviewing reports.
  • Ability to make quick decisions and solve problems in real-time, without needing to escalate every issue.
  • Comfort with the ambiguity and constant change inherent in an airport environment (shifts, high season, operational unforeseen events).
  • Availability to work a 4x3 shift schedule, including weekends and holidays.
  • Experience in handling cash, reconciliations, and closing registers.
  • Knowledge of fleet management, logistics, or operational planning (desirable, not required).
