Ready to shape the future of how passengers move through an airport?
We’re looking for an experienced aviation technology leader to take ownership of next-generation passenger-processing technology at Hamad International Airport.
This is a senior role with responsibility for technology supporting the passenger journey across check-in, self-service, bag drop, security and boarding, while driving the continued evolution of biometric identity, facial recognition, digital identity and single-token seamless travel.
This is not purely a strategy role. We need someone who understands these technologies deeply enough to lead their strategy, implementation, integration, lifecycle and 24/7 operational performance.
What you'll own
Build and develop a high-performing technology team through coaching, direction and knowledge sharing.
What we are looking for:
This role requires more than general IT leadership.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have personally led passenger-processing technology within an airport, airline or aviation technology environment and can demonstrate experience across:
✅ Common-use check-in & boarding systems
✅ Self-service check-in and bag drop
✅ Boarding and passenger self-service technologies
✅ Biometric identity verification
✅ Facial recognition / digital identity
✅ Seamless or single-token passenger journeys
✅ Departure Control System integrations
✅ Mission-critical 24/7 technology operations
✅ Large-scale systems integration
✅ Aviation technology vendor management
✅ Government and border-control stakeholder engagement
Your experience
You will bring:
Exposure to ICAO, IATA or ACI standards or industry bodies would be advantageous. ITIL service-management and recognised project-management practices are also preferred.
Think this sounds like you?
We would particularly like to hear about:
A passenger-processing platform you personally owned. A major implementation you led. And a biometric or digital-identity passenger journey you helped bring to life.
If you've worked at the intersection of aviation + passenger technology + biometrics + large-scale transformation, we would like to hear from you.
Apply now to help shape the next generation of passenger processing at Hamad International Airport.
