Description
Position Overview
Shape the Future of Aviation! We are seeking a Senior Program Manager to run a high-visibility program that integrates aviation safety data, advances analytical capability, and delivers decision-ready safety insights across the National Airspace System (NAS). In this role, you will lead a cross-functional team supporting ASIAS data ingestion and integration, safety studies, portal/user enablement, and standards/taxonomy coordination. You will serve as the primary interface to government leadership and industry safety partners-turning safety priorities into executable plans and measurable outcomes. At Concepts Beyond, we have a culture of going "beyond"-bringing innovative, practical solutions to complex aviation challenges and delivering measurable value to our customers.
Essential Functions
Lead ASIAS safety-data execution: Direct day-to-day delivery across safety data intake, integration, standardization, and operational readiness-ensuring the ASIAS environment stays available, current, and usable for analysis.
Drive "data ? safety insight" outcomes: Oversee teams producing safety studies, hazard identification, trend analysis, and publishable findings that translate complex aviation data into actionable safety intelligence.
Own the safety-data backlog: Prioritize and track new data sources, refresh cycles, data quality improvements, metadata/business rules, analytical tool evaluations, and user feedback to continuously improve timeliness and analytical value.
Lead cooperative safety engagement: Coordinate and facilitate domestic/international working groups, safety teams, and conferences that strengthen safety information sharing and adoption of common data standards and taxonomies.
Keep the program crisp and decision-ready: Run a disciplined cadence of planning, integrated scheduling, and concise monthly status/financial reporting that clearly connects delivered work to safety outcomes, risks, and next steps.
Build quality into every product: Implement measurable QA controls so analytical outputs, briefings, publications, and meeting records are accurate, complete, and require minimal rework.
Sustain stable staffing for mission continuity: Maintain staffing stability and coverage for critical ASIAS analytics and data operations; coordinate onboarding/ramp-up so safety analysis and user support are not disrupted.
Own customer communications: Serve as the lead point of contact for government program managers and partner organizations; document decisions, actions, and priorities with clear follow-through.
Required Qualifications
Degree: Bachelor's degree from a U.S. accredited institution (technical, engineering, science, math, aviation, or related).
Experience: 15+ years leading complex technical programs, minimum 10+ years senior management experience including demonstrated success managing 20+ person cross-functional teams delivering analytics/data products and operational support.
Certification (REQUIRED): PMP, PgMP, PfMP, or equivalent program/project management certification
Demonstrated leadership in aviation safety data/analytics or safety-risk environments; ability to translate safety priorities into data deliverables, measurable outcomes, and executive-ready briefings.
Strong writing/briefing skills; able to communicate complex safety data and technical tradeoffs clearly to senior stakeholders.
Desired Skills
Direct ASIAS experience (data sources, portal/user enablement, analytics workflows, operations, or stakeholder support).
Experience leading aviation safety data modernization (data standardization, metadata/business rules, advanced analytics, AI/ML/NLP programs).
Experience coordinating aviation data standards/taxonomy efforts and facilitating consensus-based working groups (domestic/international).
Familiarity with protected/voluntary reporting data environments and how they support proactive safety and risk mitigation.
