VATEUD SEEKS New Members Support Manager

[Peter Ingerslev Nielsen]

VATEUD is pleased to advise the opening of a new position within the overall Staff team in the form of a liaison person dealing with new members, their initial queries, concerns and fears.

 

VATEUD is seeing a constant growth in terms of membership and whilst all efforts have been made to slot the new members into a local vACC or Community we are still seeing several hundred members per quarter who create an account, sign up once and then never are seen or heard from again.

 

With this in mind and in order to ensure a constant renewal and retention of members both in terms of Pilots and ATCO’s, VATEUD has decided to create a new, multipurpose and challenging position helping all new members to settle in what at times is a complex organization.
