Fleet Strategy & Portfolio Management is responsible for translating fleet visibility into business-grounded recommendations on how to align aircraft across customers, programs, captures, and internal demand. The function maintains the authoritative, real-time ledger of every aircraft in the enterprise fleet and turns that visibility into the dashboards, forecasts, and configuration intelligence that drive enterprise decision-making. The Fleet Analyst will maintain the enterprise fleet ledger, build and own the analytical infrastructure that supports fleet decisions, and translate operational data into clear recommendations for the Senior Manager and Mission Control leadership. This role requires deep understanding of aircraft operations, configuration management, and rigorous data discipline. Decisions made across Fleet Strategy & Portfolio Management depend on the accuracy and timeliness of the data this role produces.
