Join our dynamic team at Kelowna International Airport! Long-term growth leads to business success — and here at Kelowna International Airport – YLW we welcome team members who can help push our vision forward. We’re currently searching for an experienced Airport Commercial Development Manager who will be responsible for identifying, marketing and progressing commercial development opportunities for the airport.  Our ideal candidate will be able to identify and attract commercial developers, manage the engagement process, negotiate commercial interest and intent, and develop and maintain airport tenant and developer relationships.
 
Help Kelowna International Airport continue to be an Airport of the Future. Our diverse and dynamic team strives to innovate to make things better, work as one team, serve proudly, and lead responsibly.  As the Airport Commercial Development Manager, you will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and leading all commercial related initiatives intended to generate and grow aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues in the areas of commercial, retail, and light industrial developments.

What you will do:
Manage and oversee the leasing, marketing, and development of non-aeronautical revenue sources at the airport, including retail, food and beverage, advertising, car rental, parking, land development, and other commercial opportunities.

Prepare and present reports, presentations, and recommendations to senior management and the airport board on commercial matters and issues.
