Aircraft Completion Program Manager – Airbus & VIP Interiors

On site in Indiana | $130,000-$150,000 + 10% bonus + Relocation Package | Full US work authorisation required

iO Associates are partnered with a leading VIP aircraft completions organisation to appoint a Program Manager for its well established growing operation, due to sustained increase in demand and newly onboarded customers.

This is a customer facing, high ownership role for a PM who has personally led complex, high value VIP or VVIP aircraft completion programs. It will be focusing on ACJ’s and so Airbus completion experience is strongly preferred.

You will be:

  • Owning one customer aircraft program at a time from planning through to final delivery.
  • Acting as the main link between the customer, engineering, production, quality, suppliers and senior leadership.
  • Managing program schedules, budgets, risks, customer updates and delivery milestones.
  • Coordinating supplier and subcontractor activity to keep technical, commercial and schedule commitments on track.
  • Driving issue resolution across a complex completion environment, including engineering, production and certification challenges.
  • Maintaining clear executive visibility across program performance, risks and recovery plans.

You will need:

  • Proven VIP/VVIP aircraft completion PM experience.
  • Direct Airbus completion experience, ideally ACJ, A220, A320 or A321 (Boeing experience is worth a conversation).
  • Experience managing multi million dollar programs, including budget, schedule, scope and customer delivery.
  • STC, FAA and EASA regulatory experience.
  • Strong supplier and subcontractor management capability.
  • US work authorisation and the ability to work five days per week on site in Indianapolis.
