About Altaport
Altaport is redefining how airports operate. Our platform automates the administrative and financial operations of today’s general aviation airports and tomorrow’s vertiports—handling transient fee collection, resource scheduling, noise management, transient relations, and more. By automating workflows and maximizing revenue capture, we help airports unlock previously untapped efficiencies and deliver better service to aircraft operators.
Our team works at the intersection of aviation, SaaS, and public infrastructure—bringing modern tools to an industry that’s long relied on manual processes and outdated systems. We work with airports of all sizes and types, from small-town airfields to busy regional relievers, helping them modernize operations, improve transparency, and capture more of the revenue that’s critical to their ongoing operations.
About The Role
We’re hiring a Director of Airport Revenue Management to lead Altaport’s efforts in transforming how airports track, bill, and collect transient fees. This role is a blend of financial leadership, operational excellence, and customer advocacy. You will own and continuously optimize the processes that drive our airport revenue management engine—ensuring that our airport clients get paid accurately, promptly, and without friction.
You’ll lead a lean and growing team tasked with managing invoicing, collections, account reconciliation, and client reporting. You’ll collaborate with engineers and product managers to shape automation tools that replace legacy accounting workflows. And you’ll serve as a strategic partner to both internal teams and external clients—championing accountability, transparency, and financial performance.
This is a critical leadership role within a fast-growing aviation SaaS company and offers an opportunity to make a significant impact on an industry in transition.
