Heathrow

Digital business analyst in aviation

In short

This role leads business analysis for digital transformation initiatives at a major airport operator, defining requirements and mapping service journeys for complex digital projects. It requires strong analytical skills, experience leading digital/technology projects in large organisations, and excellent stakeholder management with senior leaders. The position is hybrid, based in London, and sits within Heathrow's technology and digital team. Aviation, transport, or infrastructure sector experience is a plus but not required.

About the Role

Join us, and you'll thrive on the buzz of providing the technology, data, cyber and digital capabilities that run all the services you'd expect to see in a city, and more. Tech at Heathrow isn't typical. The scale and non-stop nature of our airport make it truly unique.
