Job Description:

2026 UPS Operations Management Specialist Program - Transportation Group

Program Overview

This program is an 18-month structured development program designed to equip high-potential talent with the operational expertise, leadership capabilities, and strategic mindset required for future management roles within UPS.

Participants will undergo structured rotations across key operational areas, including Air Hub and Gateway Operations, Ramp Operations, Air Cargo Business Operations, Air Service Centers, and Air Network Planning.

This is not a traditional office-based role. Participants will spend significant time in frontline operational environments, working alongside teams in sorting facilities, on ramp, and within time critical logistics flows. The program is designed to build real operational depth through direct exposure to the pace, complexity, and challenges of the network. Learning is further enhanced through project assignments, action based learning, and collaborative engagements to develop well rounded operational expertise.

In addition to hands-on experience, the program offers:

• End to end understanding of transportation network operations

• Development of critical thinking and decision-making capabilities

• Exposure to cross functional business perspectives across the network

• Ownership of impactful projects driving cost, service, and efficiency improvements

Upon successful completion of the program, high-performing participants will be considered for progression into supervisory and middle management roles within complex operational environments.

Candidate Requirements

• Possess a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline, preferably in Operations Management, Logistics, Aviation Management, Engineering, or related fields

• Prior experience in hub operations, airlines, logistics, or fast paced operational environments is an advantage

• Demonstrate leadership potential with strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• Innovative, self-motivated mindset with a drive to improve processes and challenge existing ways of working

• Comfortable working non-office hours, including varying shift schedules, and in frontline operational environments

• Willing to travel regionally as part of the training journey

• Strong verbal and presentation skills, with proficiency in English
