About the role

Salary: Commensurate with skills and experience
Reports to: SVP Systems & Organizational Change, Americas
Location: to be agreed.

Overview


People. Passion. Pride. This is what has driven our teams since 1833.
Since that time, we have developed to become a critical partner in the global aviation industry, delivering timecritical logistics services at over 350 locations in 65 countries, across 6 continents.
But at the heart of our business is our people.


Role Purpose
A structured and proactive Project Manager to support the delivery of systems and IT projects, as well as
organisational change initiatives across Americas. This role will coordinate projects, ensuring alignment, timely
execution, and structured delivery.


In addition, the Project Manager will act as the key coordination point for global initiatives driven by the Central IT
PMO, supporting their effective deployment and integration within the Americas region. This includes aligning
regional activities with global milestones, managing local dependencies, and ensuring two-way communication and
timely reporting between central and regional project teams.


The Project Manager will manage a diverse and evolving portfolio of high-impact initiatives, ensuring that
milestones are achieved, risks are managed, and stakeholders are informed and engaged.


This role is critical to enabling timely delivery, managing cross-functional dependencies, and ensuring stakeholders
are informed and engaged. The ideal candidate will be proactive in driving action, not just tracking it — someone
who builds strong relationships, creates accountability, and keeps momentum across all layers of the organization.

just requested.

projects moving forward
Act as a bridge between strategy and execution, ensuring stakeholders remain informed, aligned, and engaged
throughout the project lifecycle.

Portfolio Oversight & Integration
