Vacancy: Community Engagement Lead

Air Cargo Belgium (ACB) is the official representative of the air cargo community at Brussels Airport Cargo. With 170 member companies, we bring together airlines, handlers, forwarders, the airport authority and other stakeholders. We connect, inspire, and strengthen the Belgian air cargo community through events, projects and communication.

Every year, ACB organizes events that range from content-driven seminars with 200 participants to a summer BBQ for 800–1000 guests, a spectacular warehouse party, and sports initiatives like our Cargo Cup.

With our new strategy, we aim to grow from 2,500 yearly event visitors to over 7,000 by 2029. To realize this ambition, we’re looking for an experienced and passionate Community Engagement Lead to take our community to the next level.

• Identify and secure new partnerships, sponsorships, and collaborations that support our growth and strengthen community bonds
