• Coordinate engineers, analysts, and IT to deliver dashboards, predictive tools, and reporting.
• Support development of predictive maintenance models and asset‑risk insights.

4. Risk & Compliance Management

• Identify and mitigate risks in data security, integration and regulatory alignment.
• Ensure analytics outputs support ICAO/EASA/IAA compliance for safety, security, and asset performance.
• Embed governance to protect data integrity and project success.

5. Agile & Cross‑Functional Leadership

• Lead delivery through Agile or traditional methods to ensure on‑time outcomes.
• Drive collaboration across LABS, Ops, H&S, Security, Asset Management and Analytics teams.
• Ensure solutions are user‑centric and operationally embedded.
