Project Manager, IT and Systems - Europe

Overview

People. Passion. Pride. This is what has driven our teams since 1833.

Since that time, we have developed to become a critical partner in the global aviation industry, delivering time-critical logistics services at 350 locations in more than 65 countries, across six continents.    

But at the heart of our business is our people.

Role Purpose

A structured and proactive Project Manager to support the delivery of systems and IT projects, as well as organisational change initiatives across Europe. This role will coordinate projects led by both the Europe Organisational Change function and the European Head of IT and team, ensuring alignment, timely execution, and structured delivery.
In addition, the Project Manager will act as the key coordination point for global initiatives driven by the Central IT PMO, supporting their effective deployment and integration within the European region. This includes aligning regional activities with global milestones, managing local dependencies, and ensuring two-way communication and timely reporting between central and regional project teams.
Reporting to the Europe Organisational Change Lead (and working closely with the Head of IT, Organisational Change and IT Teams), the Project Manager will manage a diverse and evolving portfolio of high-impact initiatives, ensuring that milestones are achieved, risks are managed, and stakeholders are informed and engaged.
This role is critical to enabling timely delivery, managing cross-functional dependencies, and ensuring stakeholders are informed and engaged. The ideal candidate will be proactive in driving action, not just tracking it — someone who builds strong relationships, creates accountability, and keeps momentum across all layers of the organisation.

What you will be doing

• Track progress against milestones, deliverables, and timelines across multiple concurrent initiatives.
• Produce clear, structured weekly and monthly project updates, ensuring leadership has an accurate and actionable view of status, risks, and next steps.
• Maintain robust project documentation,
• Facilitate project meetings, working groups, and steering committees with internal and external stakeholders across Europe and central/global teams.
• Prepare professional and structured meeting materials: agendas, slide decks, minutes, and action logs.
• Drive people to action by following up assertively, building rapport, and ensuring commitments are delivered — not just requested.
