Job description

IAG Engine Tech is developing a new management model to translate its strategic priorities into coordinated initiatives, objectives, indicators and action plans. In this context, it is essential to maintain a single, up-to-date view of the Plan de Vuelo - the company's strategic and transformation plan - and its associated initiative portfolio.

Reporting to the Transformation Manager, the mission of the Portfolio & Transformation Specialist will be to coordinate and maintain the Plan de Vuelo, prepare its review cycles and committees, and provide reliable information for decision-making. The role will also support initiative analysis, KPI and benefit tracking, and coordination of the transformation portfolio.

The role combines management discipline, analytical capability and executive communication. It is not limited to collecting data or preparing presentations: the successful candidate will be expected to understand the substance of the initiatives, identify inconsistencies, ask relevant questions and propose recommendations or follow-up actions, always working with business owners and under the guidance of the Transformation Manager.

Key responsibilities

• Plan de Vuelo coordination and maintenance: consolidate information on priorities and initiatives, coordinate periodic update cycles and ensure consistency across objectives, indicators, milestones, risks and decisions.
• Committee preparation and executive reporting: prepare tracking dashboards, presentations and executive summaries, coordinating inputs from the business areas and highlighting progress, deviations, risks and required decisions.
• Initiative analysis and review: review information provided by owners, identify inconsistencies or gaps in definition, ask relevant questions and propose recommendations or follow-up actions.
• KPI and benefit tracking: work with Finance and the relevant business areas to provide visibility of results, deviations, assumptions and expected or achieved benefits.
• Support for strategic review: participate in updating priorities, pillars, programmes and objectives, preparing analyses and materials to support discussion and decision-making.
• Transformation portfolio coordination: maintain a cross-functional view of initiatives, dependencies, overlaps and decision needs, and support prioritisation processes.
• Support for priority projects: contribute to analysis, team coordination, action tracking and decision preparation for selected initiatives, without replacing the accountability of the business owner.
• Improvement of management tools and routines: help simplify and improve the processes, templates, data sources and tools used to track the Plan de Vuelo and the portfolio.

Objectives

• Keep the IAG Engine Tech Plan de Vuelo and transformation portfolio up to date and properly coordinated.
• Ensure a single and consistent view of initiatives, owners, indicators, benefits, milestones, risks and pending decisions.
• Improve the quality of information and initiatives through analysis, structured questions and follow-up of agreed actions.
• Prepare clear, reliable executive reporting and materials focused on decision-making.
• Provide visibility of initiative progress and expected impact, working with Finance and the relevant business areas when appropriate.
• Support the evolution of the Plan de Vuelo and its routines, tools and tracking mechanisms as strategic priorities change.

Education, skills and experience

• Degree in Industrial Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Organisation and Management, Business Administration, Economics, Finance, Data/Analytics or an equivalent qualification.
• Professional experience in an industrial, operations, maintenance, manufacturing, supply chain or asset-intensive business environment, together with experience in transformation, planning, PMO, project management, consulting or programme tracking.
• Ability to analyse and solve problems in a structured way: identify inconsistencies, causes, impacts and alternatives, and prepare practical conclusions.
• Advanced Excel skills, with the ability to perform analyses, build tracking models and scenarios, and calculate impact.
• Advanced PowerPoint skills and the ability to turn complex information into clear and concise executive materials.
• Knowledge of planning, project management, PMO, portfolio management or transformation programme tracking.
• Ability to work with indicators, operational and financial data, baselines, targets and expected benefits.
• Ability to prepare and facilitate working sessions and committees with operational, technical, financial and senior stakeholders.
• Basic knowledge of data visualisation tools, reporting or enterprise information systems.
• Knowledge of strategic management models, scorecards, portfolio management or the deployment of transformation plans.

• Basic knowledge of business cases, benefit assessment and tracking the return of initiatives.
• Knowledge of MRO, aircraft engines, the aerospace industry or regulated and technically complex environments.
