Job Summary

The Financial/Pricing Analyst supports staffing analysis, cost modeling, and proposals for aviation ground handling services. This role may be a strong fit for an aviation Operations Manager or other ground handling professional who understands how the operation runs, is comfortable working with numbers and Excel, and can translate operational needs into practical staffing plans.

A key part of the role is using hours and workload data from the INFORM system to determine the headcount needed to run an operation.

Prior experience with contracts, RFPs, or pricing is helpful, but it is not required. We are looking for someone with strong ground handling knowledge who can learn the pricing and proposal process.
