Lead Material Planning

Riyadh Air (RX), headquartered in the Saudi Capital, is the new national airline that's shaping the future of flying. It seeks to lead the aviation industry by transforming Saudi Arabia into a global aviation and trade hub - a digitally native airline that will connect the kingdom to more than 100 destinations.

Are you an aviation materials planning professional who thrives on availability, control, and operational precision?

In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the timely and cost‑effective availability of aircraft materials required to support maintenance and operational activities across the airline. You will oversee material planning and inventory levels to ensure maintenance readiness while minimizing excess, obsolete, or non‑compliant stock.

You will work closely with Maintenance, Engineering, Logistics, and Procurement teams to align material requirements with maintenance plans, fleet activity, and operational demand. This includes supporting procurement activities by translating maintenance needs into material requirements, monitoring lead times, and ensuring parts availability for both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance events.

Importantly, you will actively manage inventory accuracy through audits, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement initiatives, while ensuring compliance with regulatory, contractual, and quality requirements applicable to aircraft materials. In addition, you will coordinate with suppliers to improve delivery performance, reduce aircraft downtime, and support operational continuity.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a fast‑growing airline by strengthening material readiness, inventory performance, and supply chain reliability at scale.

Degree qualified in aviation, you will demonstrate a minimum of 7 years in aviation, materials management, logistics, supply chain, or a related field, and you will bring at least 5 years of experience in material planning, inventory management, or aviation logistics within an airline or aviation environment.

You are expected to have hands‑on experience managing aircraft materials in support of maintenance operations, with a solid understanding of inventory control principles, material forecasting, and procurement coordination.

You will demonstrate strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work with inventory management or supply chain systems to monitor performance and material availability.

We’d love to hear from you even more if you have experience working cross‑functionally with technical teams and external suppliers, along with the ability to operate in a regulated aviation environment where compliance and accuracy are critical.

This is your opportunity to shape the future of air travel. Bring your best and show us why you can own this position within Riyadh Air.
