ABOUT THE ROLE & TEAM (Remote Role Across USA & Canada)
The Job holder will be a experienced and commercially driven Business Development Senior Manager to accelerate the growth of CCM's premium lounge furnishings and interior solutions business across North America.
Following SITA's acquisition of CCM, we are expanding our ability to support airports, airlines, and lounge operators with premium furnishings, custom millwork, and integrated interior solutions that elevate the passenger experience.
This role is for an established industry professional with a proven track record in airport furniture, premium commercial interiors, hospitality furnishings, or airport lounge development. The role holder brings an existing network of decision-makers across airlines, airports, independent lounge operators, and the architecture and design community, as well as relevant airport construction, project management, FF&E, and procurement stakeholders.
This is a hands-on, market-facing business development role focused on identifying opportunities, building relationships, influencing project specifications, and converting opportunities into profitable new business across CCM's airport interiors and lounge portfolio. The role requires a proven business developer who understands how projects originate, who influences purchasing decisions, and how to position CCM before formal procurement begins.

- Identify and pursue new business opportunities with major airlines, airports, independent lounge operators, and other premium passenger experience providers.

- Develop strategic relationships with key decision-makers responsible for lounge development, design, procurement, and capital investment, including airport and airline owners, lounge operators, architects, interior designers, consultants, owners' representatives, FF&E/procurement firms, CMARs, general contractors, and other project influencers.
- Identify major airport terminal, airline lounge, and passenger environment programs during planning, design, and pre-construction.
- Build opportunity-specific stakeholder maps identifying project owners, operators, architects, designers, consultants, construction managers, contractors, procurement stakeholders, and purchasing influencers.
- Develop early-stage pursuit strategies designed to position CCM before specifications and procurement strategies are finalized.
- Maintain visibility into relevant airport capital improvement programs, airline investment programs, lounge development initiatives, and terminal renovation or expansion projects across North America.
- Translate project intelligence into qualified opportunities and coordinated pursuit strategies with SITA airport and airline account teams.
- Establish CCM as a preferred partner for premium lounge furnishings, custom millwork, and integrated interior solutions.
- Build strong relationships with airline real estate, airport development, lounge operations, and commercial teams.
- Engage architects, interior designers, consultants, and project management firms to influence product selection and specifications early in the design process.
- Represent SITA/CCM at relevant aviation, hospitality, furniture, and design industry events.
- Monitor competitor activity, customer investment programs, and emerging trends in premium passenger environments.
- Develop relationships with architecture, interior design, engineering, FF&E, procurement, and construction firms involved in airport and airline projects.
- Position CCM solutions during programming, concept design, design development, and pre-construction.
- Drive inclusion of CCM products and solutions within project specifications, furniture packages, basis-of-design decisions, and approved product selections.
- Track specifications through procurement and coordinate actions to protect CCM's position through proposal and contract award.
Commercial Execution
- Lead business development activities from initial engagement through proposal development, commercial negotiation, and contract award.
- Collaborate with CCM's design, product, engineering, and delivery teams to develop solutions aligned with customer requirements.
- Coordinate with SITA's existing airport and airline account teams to leverage established customer relationships and identify cross-selling opportunities.

Tips for Your Remote Airport Manager Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote airport manager openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through unrelated postings.
Show async coordination in your resume
Remote airport manager roles depend on running operations across locations without real-time oversight. Call out specific examples of coordinating FAA compliance, vendor contracts, or safety programs through written communication and remote project tools.
Get fluent in remote operations tools
Distributed airport management teams run on tools like Microsoft Teams, Asana, and shared compliance tracking platforms. Name the specific tools you've used in past roles so hiring managers can see you won't need a ramp-up period to function remotely.
Prepare for async interview formats
Many remote employers screen airport manager candidates through written assessments or recorded video interviews before live calls. Practice explaining operational decisions in writing, the way you'd communicate them to a distributed team that wasn't in the room.
Remote Airport Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote airport manager job?
Target companies that run distributed operations teams, aviation consulting firms, and regional airport networks where management work happens asynchronously across locations. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, clear written communication, and the ability to coordinate across time zones without in-person oversight. A demonstrated record of managing operational workflows, compliance programs, or vendor relationships independently gives you a real edge over candidates who've only worked on-site.
Which companies hire remote airport managers?
Employers currently hiring remote airport managers include McFarland Johnson and SITA Switzerland Sarl, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. The employers doing the most remote hiring in this role tend to be aviation consulting firms, airport management companies with multi-site portfolios, and logistics organizations with distributed operations leadership needs.
Can you get a remote airport manager job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level airport manager roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal hands-on supervision. Aviation operations coordinators at consulting firms or airport management companies are the most accessible starting points. Showing strong written communication, familiarity with FAA compliance frameworks, and any project or operations management background can open the door when direct experience is limited.
Do you need a degree for remote airport manager jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh demonstrated operational experience, FAA regulatory knowledge, and results managing airport or aviation programs over a specific degree. A background in aviation management, logistics, or public administration is common among candidates, but employers hiring for distributed roles often prioritize what you've actually delivered: compliance outcomes, vendor management, and the ability to run operations without constant in-person coordination.
