Working across Procurement and other internal teams, the Senior Executive will translate complex data into clear recommendations, coordinate proactive inventory sourcing and provide senior analytical support to the wider Asset team.

Function

Analyse aviation component markets and portfolio performance to maintain the right inventory, in the right condition, at the right time.

Use forecasting, industry developments and commercial insight to recommend procurement, investment and stock-utilisation actions that increase revenue potential and reduce exposure to excess or slow-moving inventory.

• Develop and maintain robust Excel-based models, reports and automated tools, using VBA where appropriate, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of Asset analysis.

Requirements Essential

• Demonstrable experience in inventory, asset, procurement or commercial analysis within a data-led environment.
• Strong numerical and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and convert findings into clear commercial recommendations.
• Sound commercial judgement and an understanding of the factors that influence inventory investment, utilisation, saleability and risk.
• 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.

Desirable

• 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.
• Experience using VBA, Power BI or other reporting and automation tools to improve analytical efficiency.
• Experience supporting process improvement, system implementation, training or the development of junior team members.
