About the role:

In this role, you will play a key part in supporting the planning, tracking, and delivery of international development projects. You will be responsible for maintaining project documentation, schedules, and risk or issue logs to ensure effective project management and reporting. The position involves organising internal and external meetings, preparing agendas, taking minutes, and monitoring follow-up actions to keep activities on track.
You will assist with tracking delivery against project milestones following contract awards, providing operational coordination between MAG teams and international partners. The role also includes undertaking desk-based research into aviation markets, regulatory environments, and competitor activity to support business development and strategic decision-making. In addition, you will coordinate inputs to tender submissions, ensuring all deadlines and format requirements are met, and contribute to the development of market analyses, forecasts, and benchmarking data that feed into robust business cases.

What will make you successful in the role?

We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented professional who brings strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines with confidence. The successful candidate will have excellent written and verbal communication skills and be comfortable preparing reports and presentations. Accuracy and attention to detail are essential, particularly when consolidating inputs from various sources. Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and collaboration tools such as Teams and SharePoint is required, along with the ability to work effectively across different cultures and time zones.
Additional experience in infrastructure, transport, aviation, or international development projects is highly desirable, as is a background in project coordination, project support, or PMO within complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Familiarity with bid processes, due diligence, or investment cases would be beneficial. A degree-level education in business, economics, international relations, or a related field is preferred, and foreign language skills would be an asset.
