Own the airline’s digital touchpoints: corporate website, booking interfaces internal portals, and customer-facing dashboards.
Lead or oversee product development efforts—whether in-house or via agency—for enhancements, new features, and UX improvements.
Coordinate A/B testing, analytics tracking, and continuous iteration based on user and commercial feedback.

Define and maintain a scalable, secure technical architecture that supports current operations and future expansion.
Ensure seamless data and process integration across operations, commercial, finance, and customer systems.
Drive API strategy and enable internal/external data interoperability


4. Security & Compliance

Own cybersecurity posture: threat detection, vulnerability management, access controls, patching, and response.
Ensure compliance with relevant aviation and data regulations (e.g., data protection laws, industry-specific standards).
Conduct regular security audits, penetration testing, and staff awareness training.
