• Strategic alignment: Coordinate closely with the Airports Strategy Lead to ensure your regional decisions and commercial frameworks are consistent with Turo’s broader national airports strategy and best practices.

• Manage and grow key relationships: Build and leverage lasting relationships with key external stakeholders to secure unfettered access and mitigate operational threats from the rental car industry or regulatory changes.

• Drive performance: Track and communicate key metrics to internal stakeholders, using data to identify new growth initiatives and proactively adjust strategies to ensure partner and platform success.

• Minimum of 5+ years of proven experience; experience working and partnering with airports or with ground transportation operators on permit/agreements or working at an airport strongly preferred

• Strong strategic thinking skills with the ability to balance customer experience (CX) with business economics (profitability/costs).

• Experience working cross-functionally to launch new programs or operational processes.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, negotiating, and networking skills.
