Responsibilities

~1 min read

• Set the Standard: Define operational standards that reduce BAU workload and increase reliability

across teams and markets. Lead retrospectives and drive scalable process refinements.

• Think and Act Strategically: Balance domain and company goals, making trade-offs with business

impact in mind. Set ambitious OKRs and recognise when diminishing returns mean it's time to

redirect focus.

• Turn Data into Direction: Formulate analytical questions that reveal root causes and trends.

Synthesise complex insights into clear recommendations, and guide teammates in interpreting

data accurately.

• Shape the Inventory Domain: Anticipate how airline schedule changes, fare filings, or supplier feed

updates affect performance. Influence product and tooling decisions, define technical standards,

and build governance frameworks that scale across markets.

• Own the Reporting Cadence: Drive automation, monitoring, and workflow improvements that

span multiple teams. Own the cadence that ties inventory reliability (uptime, content accuracy

rate) directly to revenue impact for senior stakeholders.

• Own the AI Loop: Build and evaluate AI-assisted workflows for supplier-content triage and

anomaly detection, define what "good" looks like, set guardrails for auto-actioned changes, and

make the build-vs-buy call on tooling.

 

• Operational Depth: You've owned a flights or airline-inventory workflow end to end, schedules,

fares, or GDS/NDC content, not just executed steps someone else designed, and can point to

where you expanded its scope.

• Domain Mastery: Expert technical knowledge of airline inventory, schedules, fares, availability,

GDS and NDC content flows, plus the APIs and booking infrastructure that surface it. You can

anticipate how an airline schedule change or fare filing ripples through the ecosystem.

• Strategic Thinking: You connect operational work to business outcomes and make trade-offs

confidently. You see the big picture without losing sight of execution quality.

• Coaching Ability: Experience mentoring others, even without formal management responsibility.

You raise the bar for those around you.

• Process Design Expertise: Proven ability to design frameworks and governance models that scale,
