• Work with data science teams to shape optimization/ML-driven scheduling and predictive maintenance capabilities, defining data requirements, success metrics and guardrails.
• Engage operations teams, engineers and customers to translate maintenance and network-operations workflows into product requirements.
• Ensure the product supports airworthiness and operational compliance (e.g. ADs, SBs, traceability, audit trails) and relevant regulatory frameworks (EASA / FAA).
• Define and track KPIs - turnaround time, deferrals, utilization, downtime, SLA compliance and CSAT - and use analytics and feedback to steer the roadmap.
• Act as the central coordination point across internal teams and customers, communicating progress and managing expectations.
• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle from concept and design through operation, iteration and retirement.

• Familiarity with aviation regulatory frameworks (EASA, FAA) and compliance concepts such as ADs, SBs and traceability.
• Comfort partnering with data science on AI/ML and optimization features; strong data-driven prioritization skills.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management and leadership skills across technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred

• Experience with MRO/operations-control platforms (AMOS, Trax, Traxxall, TrustFlight, Ramco, or similar), aviation operations or maintenance environments, and knowledge of optimization, scheduling, predictive maintenance, and reliability analytics.
