Requisition

Since 1967, Jet Aviation has been crafting flight in its smoothest form. From one hangar in Basel, Switzerland, to over 5,000 employees, and some 50 locations worldwide. Aircraft Management, Aircraft Sales, Charter, Completions, Government Services, FBO, Fixed and Rotary Wing Maintenance, and Staffing. Behind every seamless Jet Aviation experience, is a team of dedicated professionals perfecting the art of flight. The artisans of aviation.

The craft that brings our customers’ journey to life. In the hangar, on the ground, and behind the scenes. Enabling global flight, with passion.

Jet Aviation is seeking a strategic, credible, and people-focused Vice President, Cybersecurity & IT Operations to report to the CIO and lead our global cybersecurity program, IT operations strategy, technology roadmap, and service delivery. This role balances security, operational resilience, business enablement, service quality, and long-term scalability across a global aviation business. This is a highly collaborative leadership role for someone who builds trust across IT, business functions, customers, auditors, and global teams.

The successful candidate will be comfortable presenting to executives and broader employee audiences, adapting their communication to the situation, and staying personally connected to the teams and projects they lead. This is not an ivory-tower role: you will be involved in projects, accessible to the team, and expected to get to know the individuals across IT personally.

You will serve as a trusted partner to Lines of Business, executive and functional leaders, customers, contracts, Legal, Compliance, Risk, HR, General Dynamics, auditors, and external providers. From guiding security and privacy clauses in customer contracts to responding to customer assessments, you will help the business reach practical, secure solutions wherever possible—and clearly articulate the “why” when requirements or risks limit available options.

Cybersecurity will be a particularly important area of focus, including the continued development of our security strategy, risk and compliance posture, customer security assessments, incident response, data privacy, and related assurance activities. You will help Jet Aviation maintain a strong and practical security environment—one that protects our business while enabling our teams to serve customers effectively. You will lead our Computer Incident Response Team (CIRT) and our cybersecurity audits, participate in many other internal, external, and statutory audits, and co-lead our Data Governance Committee.

You will inherit a strong team, not a broken one, and have the opportunity to help drive us to version 2.0 of our strategy, technology stack, operating model, and team, including infrastructure, evolving the cybersecurity and IT Operations posture and technology stack, and suing automation and AI to create efficiencies and reduce risk.. You will be accountable for results and empowered with the authority to make the changes your team needs to succeed, including owning your budget, vendors, personnel decisions, organizational development, cybersecurity strategy, and IT roadmaps.

Success will require more than technical expertise. You will be highly visible across Jet Aviation, comfortable presenting to executives, peer leaders, auditors, customers, and global users, and skilled at adapting your communication to your audience. You will build relationships across regions and stay closely connected to the people, projects, and business priorities you support. Public speaking should be something you enjoy, and you should…
