Job description

At Steer North America , our vision is a world where the critical services and infrastructure that move our communities work better for all of us. Our mission is to be the leading consultancy shaping the future of how people live, work, and connect. We are driven by a passion for creating positive impact through our expertise in critical services and infrastructure. We strive to unlock the potential of our clients and their organizations to help people, places, and economies thrive. For a world in motion, complex challenges deserve powerful solutions, global intelligence and local partnership, technical expertise and independent advice.

We are seeking an entrepreneurial leader to help establish and grow our Airport Commercial Services consulting practice in the U.S. and Canada.

Business Development

  • Position the firm as a trusted advisor by contributing to thought leadership, presenting at conferences, and publishing industry insights.
  • Project Leadership

  • Serve as Project Manager or Technical Lead on key assignments in commercial strategy, concessions planning, financial modeling, and passenger experience optimization.
  • Manage project teams and ensure delivery of high-quality, on-time, and on-budget results.
  • Innovate new approaches, tools, and methodologies to differentiate our offerings in the airport commercial space.
  • Team Development

  • Mentor and guide junior staff, supporting their growth in both technical and consulting skills.
  • Contribute to building a collaborative, entrepreneurial, and client-focused culture within the practice.
  • Requirements

    Required :

  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in the aviation industry, with expertise in airport commercial services, concessions, real estate, or non-aeronautical revenue strategy.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (business, aviation, planning, economics, finance, or related discipline).
  • Proven entrepreneurial mindset, with demonstrated success in practice building, business development, or market expansion.
  • Strong project management skills and experience leading multidisciplinary teams.
  • Established relationships within the U.S. and Canadian airport industry.
  • Preferred :

  • Technical expertise in concessions planning, financial modeling, business case development, or airport real estate.
  • Experience introducing new service lines or growing a consulting offering from early stages.
  • Active involvement in professional organizations such as AAAE, ACI-NA, or regional airport associations.
