- Identify opportunities to leverage AI, machine learning, automation, and advanced analytics across Corporate Finance and Risk Management activities.
- Support the development of intelligent reporting, forecasting, scenario modelling, and decision-support tools.
- Evaluate emerging technologies and industry trends that can improve efficiency, insight generation, and financial decision making.
- Act as a champion for innovation and continuous improvement within the Corporate Finance function.
- *Stakeholder Engagement*
- Collaborate with senior stakeholders across Finance, Technology, Data & Analytics, FP&A and Strategy teams.
- Build strong working relationships across the business while developing a broad understanding of airline operations and financial performance.
- Present findings, recommendations, and innovative solutions to senior leadership audiences.
- *Leadership Development*
- Participate in strategic initiatives with significant exposure to executive leadership.
- Contribute to the development of future-focused finance capabilities within the organization.
- Develop the skills, knowledge, and experience required for future leadership opportunities within Finance and the wider business.
