The successful candidate will be responsible for managing critical aviation procurement and logistics activities, supporting operational aircraft fleets, responding to AOG requirements and building relationships across a broad network of suppliers, repair organisations and aviation service providers.

- Partner closely with CAMO and Part 145 maintenance providers
- Ensure compliance across CASA, FAA, EASA, IATA DGR and ITAR requirements
- Monitor inventory performance, supplier performance and operational readiness
- Support the ongoing development of Australian supply chain capability, systems and processes
