• Work with teams across the airline to respond to changing priorities, disruptions and new opportunities.
• Protect and maximise the value of BA's slot portfolio while maintaining schedule resilience.
• Use data, insight and planning tools to optimise schedules and identify future improvements.
• Produce schedule outputs that support business planning, forecasting and decision-making.
• Communicate trade-offs, recommendations and impacts to stakeholders across the business.

What you'll bring to British Airways:

• Enjoys untangling complex problems? Loves making sense of data and finding practical solutions?
• This role suits someone who is analytical, collaborative and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment.
• The ideal candidate will be confident influencing others, building strong relationships and communicating recommendations backed by evidence.
• Curiosity, resilience and a willingness to learn are just as important as technical expertise.

Your experience:

• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and turn insight into action.
• Experience solving complex, multi-dimensional problems and balancing competing priorities.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to work effectively under pressure and adapt to changing circumstances.
• Understanding of airline scheduling, planning processes or operational environments would be advantageous.
• Knowledge of airline scheduling tools, including Sabre AirOps, AirVision, FAM or similar systems, would be beneficial.
