• Excellent attention to detail, with a consistent focus on data quality, accuracy and effective governance.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to present findings, explain recommendations and challenge constructively.
• Experience within aviation, aerospace, component trading, aftermarket services or a comparable technical inventory environment.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel capability, including the development and maintenance of robust models, reports and analytical tools.
• Knowledge of aircraft component markets, certification, airworthiness or Export Control requirements.
