The Opportunity
We are looking for an Operational Support Analyst to join our Connected Crew & Optimised Flying mission within Airline Operations Technology. In this critical role, you will provide day-to-day operational support and service management to keep our business-critical applications and data stable, reliable, and secure.
Working alongside Product Managers, Technical Specialists, and delivery teams, you will support system health and help implement application changes safely into live operations. Your efforts will directly enable safe, punctual, and fuel-efficient flights across three key areas:
- Connected Crew: Apps used by pilots and cabin crew for communications and flight decisions.
- Safety & Crew Training: Safety reporting, training records, and compliance platforms.
- Fuel Optimisation: Digital tools and data feeds that track fuel efficiency and flight performance.
What You Will Do
- Provide day-to-day operational and technical support for applications and data, ensuring incidents are resolved within agreed service levels.
- Support the response during major P1 and P2 incidents, coordinating with internal teams and external software suppliers for fast service recovery.
- Triage operational issues effectively, resolving software and data problems directly while routing hardware or MDM issues to appropriate platform teams.
- Monitor system health dashboards and data links to catch technical glitches, data drops, or tracking delays before they impact flights, crew, or compliance.
- Assist with testing, validation, and operational readiness checks to ensure new features and software updates land smoothly in live operations.
- Manage user access and permissions across operational platforms in line with airline security policies and regulatory compliance standards.
- Produce straightforward operational reports and dashboards to highlight service trends and track supplier performance.
- Take part in an out-of-hours on-call rota to provide support for critical operational incidents.
What You Will Bring
- Practical experience in an IT application support, technical support, or operational service-management role.
- Strong troubleshooting skills with a logical approach to diagnosing software, data, and interface issues.
- Experience supporting incident management, handling P1/P2 priorities, working to service levels, and coordinating escalations.
- Good understanding of how cloud software, web applications, and live data feeds connect with each other.
- Experience using monitoring tools or dashboards to track service health and performance trends.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues in plain English to non-technical colleagues.
- Strong personal organizational skills to balance multiple operational tasks calmly during busy periods.
- Experience working within an airline, airport, transport, or 24/7 operational environment.
- Familiarity with flight operations, crew apps, electronic flight bags (EFBs), safety systems, training platforms, or fuel efficiency tools.
- Knowledge of standard IT support frameworks (such as ITIL) or experience using tools like ServiceNow, Jira, and Confluence.
- A basic understanding of mobile device setups (such as iPads), MDM concepts, or regulatory compliance standards.
