Mondiale VGL is a global logistics leader with deep roots in Oceania and operations spanning 19 markets worldwide.
For more than 40 years, we’ve been connecting people, places, and opportunities — moving freight smoothly and building lasting careers across New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Europe, and the USA.
Our end-to-end services cover every stage of the supply chain, from sea and air freight to customs clearance, wharf transport, and warehousing.
This fully integrated approach helps our partners move goods efficiently across borders while powering their growth.
With a team of over 1,500 talented professionals, we bring together diverse perspectives and shared ambition.
Our heritage has shaped who we are — a company built on reliability, innovation, and care — and it drives how we move forward.
What you'll be doing
- Owning the carrier relationships. You'll be the person airlines and co-loaders want to do business with — negotiating rates, securing space, and sorting out problems before they become headaches.
- Running the show operationally. Air imports, air exports, documentation, compliance, exceptions — you'll keep it all moving smoothly and on time.
- Leading a team that trusts you. You'll coach, develop, and back your Air Operators and Coordinators so they can do their best work.
- Shaping the commercial outcome. Working closely with Sales and Key Account Management, your market knowledge will directly influence pricing and win rate.
- Keeping us compliant and credible. IATA regulations, Dangerous Goods, Border Force requirements — you'll make sure we're always ahead of the curve.
- 5+ years proven airfreight experience with genuine, current relationships across airlines and/or co-loaders
- A track record of negotiating rates and capacity that actually move the needle
- Confidence leading and developing a team
- Strong knowledge of IATA regs, air waybill documentation, and DG requirements
- CargoWise experience (or a similar freight system) — you'll pick up our workflows fast
- The judgement to operate commercially, not just operationally
We believe our people are our greatest strength — and the diversity of our team is central to how we grow and succeed.
We’re committed to building an inclusive culture where everyone feels respected, supported, and able to thrive.
With operations spanning the globe, we know we’re better together when our team reflects the diversity of the communities and customers we work with every day.
