Riyadh Air (RX), headquartered in the Saudi Capital, is the new national airline that’s shaping the future of flying. It seeks to lead the aviation industry by transforming Saudi Arabia into a global aviation and trade hub - a digitally native airline that will connect the kingdom to more than 100 destinations.
Are you a programme leader with a passion for cabin development, supplier management, and bringing world-class products to the aircraft? Join our Fleet Planning - Programs team and take ownership of the equipment and experiences that define life on board. In this role, you will lead the end-to-end management of assigned Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) suppliers and products, driving supplier performance, product development, certification, and on-time delivery.
Acting as the Riyadh Air lead for your allocated suppliers, you'll work independently to align OEMs, BFE suppliers, and cross-functional teams, ensuring every product is delivered to specification, budget, and aircraft on-dock date.
You'll hold a recognized undergraduate degree in Aeronautical or another relevant Engineering discipline, and/or a Business degree, with at least 10 years of experience across aircraft programs, fleet planning, EIS, or technical and engineering roles.
A proven track record leading BFE programs as a supplier focal point is essential - including hands-on experience across development, certification, and delivery phases, and detailed knowledge of seating and monument certification under both EASA and FAA. You'll bring strong experience in supplier and stakeholder management across airlines, OEMs, MROs, or leasing companies, along with a solid understanding of retrofits, STCs, MRO implementation, and OEM delivery processes (Boeing and/or Airbus). Experience on Boeing 787 and/or Airbus A321 / A350 programs is preferred.
We're looking for someone with sharp commercial acumen, structured problem-solving, and the ability to juggle multiple projects to tight timelines and budgets. Excellent communication and stakeholder-influencing skills, a high level of ownership, and the flexibility to travel at short notice will set you up to thrive in our fast-paced, start-up environment.
This is your opportunity to shape the future of air travel. Bring your best and show us why you're the right fit for Riyadh Air.
