Sectional objectives, KPIs and budget sit with you, along with workforce planning that supports Emiratization. Your team receives coaching and development, and audits and management reports keep governance tight. Eight years in procurement, sourcing or supply chain is required, with proven category and contract management and large team leadership. CIPS is preferred, and aviation experience is an advantage.
