Deliver CAPEX allocation for facilities, equipment, and upgrades—ensuring investment is targeted and value-driven.
Optimise asset positioning to maximise utilisation, customer satisfaction, and financial return.
Build robust business cases for capital investments and infrastructure initiatives.

Partner with Commercial and Training Centre leaders to identify and deliver growth opportunities.
Ensure IT and business systems meet operational needs and align with group strategy.
Ensure wet training delivery meets all regulatory requirements and supports both current courseware and future development.

People leadership

Lead and develop a high-performing regional operations leadership team.
Build capability, engagement, and succession across operational disciplines.
Champion a strong safety, quality, and continuous improvement culture.
Promote cross-regional collaboration to break down operational silos and share best practices.

Suppliers, safety, and compliance

Own supplier strategy, contracts, and performance management across the region.
Ensure compliance with health and safety, regulatory, legal, and quality standards.
Act as the senior escalation point for operational risk and resilience.

Scope and impact

Geographical Scope: EMEA - we have operational training sites in most key countries across EMEA

Direct Reports: Functional and regional operations leaders (circa 400 heads in total org chart)

Financial Accountability: Significant operating and capital budgets

Assets: High‑value training devices and infrastructure

Experience and capabilities

Minimum Qualifications

10+ years leading multi-disciplinary teams, with senior operations leadership experience in aviation, training, engineering, or other asset-intensive environments.
Strong strategic planning and execution skills, with a track record of delivering results at pace.
Proven experience managing complex supplier ecosystems and high-value capital assets.
Demonstrated people leadership across multiple countries and cultures.
Comfortable operating in a global, matrixed organisation and influencing senior stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in regulated training and/or other safety-critical environments.
