About the role

Sydney Airport is delivering a bold strategy to transform the end-to-end passenger experience — not through theoretical change programs, but through practical, on-the-ground improvements that make a real difference for customers and frontline teams.

This 24-Month Max-Term Contract, Passenger Experience Change Delivery Lead role plays a critical role in shaping and delivering these improvements. Working within Operations, this role focuses on identifying problems, defining what success looks like, and leading physical and service changes from concept through to implementation and operational handover. This is a hands-on role for someone who has worked in complex operational environments and understands what it takes to introduce change safely, practically, and sustainably.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to
 

• Work with stakeholders to clearly define problems, desired outcomes, and benefits before solutions are designed or delivered
• Represent the needs of passengers and airline partners while balancing operational, safety, and stakeholder requirements
• Lead initiatives from idea through to implementation, ensuring changes are operationally sound and embedded into day-to-day ways of working
• Deliver physical and service improvements across a live operational environment, including documented processes, SOPs, and readiness plans
• Partner closely with internal teams and external airport stakeholders to align objectives, manage impacts, and enable successful delivery
• Use insights, metrics, and frontline feedback to measure outcomes and continuously improve the experience

About you
 

• Experience delivering customer improvement or change initiatives within complex operational environments (e.g. transport, infrastructure, retail, health, utilities, or similar)
• A practical background introducing physical, service, or process changes — not purely technology or advisory-led change
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence, align priorities, and navigate competing needs
• Comfortable defining problems, shaping initiatives, and translating ideas into deliverable, operational outcomes
• A hands-on, delivery-focused mindset with a solid understanding of change and project fundamentals
• Clear, confident communicator who can simplify complex issues and build trust with frontline teams and senior stakeholders alike
