Job Role:
The Electronic Warfare Training and Contracts Manager reports directly to the Vice President Flight Operations and is directly responsible for the development, long-term planning, project management, operational and financial performance of the RSAF EWFT Contract in support of the Business Unit (BU) 3yr and 5yr strategic plan.
The title of Electronic Warfare Training and Contracts Manager as contained in the RSAF EWFT Contract does not fully reflect the breadth of the role as there is a wider portfolio of responsibilities, which the constraints of a job title cannot fully describe. In essence, the infrequent nature of detachments in support of RSAF EWFT affords the opportunity to provide broader contract, Business Development and operational support across the range of Flight Operations activities.
The Cobham Aviation Services business typically enters into long-term performance based contracts where disciplined contract and performance management are critical to success. In addition, exceptional customer relationships and a forward-looking campaign approach to contract renewals and new business are vital. As such, the RSAF EWFT Trg Coord must retain a strong customer focus with strategic commercial/ business winning skills and acumen along with a disciplined and structured approach to internal contract and performance management. This is a senior role requiring the individual to develop and maintain effective working relationships across the business and across a diverse customer community. The preparedness to work additional hours, be on call after hours, travel and support adjacent functions and opportunities is essential.
Special Conditions
The aviation sector is highly regulated, with safety and compliance the highest priorities. To this end, the RSAF EWFT Trg Coord must champion these priorities. In addition, Cobham is committed to the highest standards of business ethics with integrity and trust being central to the organisation. The RSAF EWFT Trg Coord must comply with Company policy and promote behaviours that align with these values.
The prime location is the Cobham Aviation Services facility located at Hurn, Christchurch.
Broader BU Support
In addition to the core role, the incumbent is required to support routine BU activities to develop and deliver Special Mission type activities. This may include, but is not limited to, supporting the Business Development and Commercial team in the development of new or adjacent opportunities or creating long-term strategic campaigns.
As Electronic Warfare Training and Contracts Manager your skills and qualifications will ideally include:
