• Proficiency with ERP systems (such as SAP, Oracle, or AMOS).
• Excellent organisational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience in team leadership and performance management.
• Able to work effectively under pressure and manage changing priorities.

What’s on Offer:

• A key leadership position within a dynamic aviation business.
