Purpose of the Role
To establish, lead, and develop the
Group AMOS Competence Centre (ACC)
as a central governance, coordination, and support function across all airlines within the Group currently operating AMOS. The role will drive strategic alignment of AMOS functionalities, processes, and data structures while maintaining respect for the operational independence of each airline.
By enhancing collaboration and harmonisation, the Group AMOS Competence Centre will improve efficiency, enable reliable Group-level insight, and lay the foundation for greater system and process coherence in future developments.
Background & Context
The
AMOS Competence Centre
is a model promoted by Swiss-AS -- the vendor of AMOS -- and is already established in each operating company (OpCo) currently using AMOS within the Group (IB, Vueling, Aer Lingus). These local AMOS Competence Centres comprise highly specialised roles responsible for:
Implementing new functionalities from future AMOS releases
Adapting internal processes to leverage system capabilities
Rolling out new AMOS modules across technical operations
Designing workflows in line with AMOS best practices and parameterising them accordingly
Supporting financial and cost control process design within AMOS
Managing interfaces with external systems (e.g., Financial ERP, Flight Ops Systems, reporting tools)
Handling AMOS-specific IT maintenance and performance oversight
While these local teams operate independently today, they face similar challenges and skills gaps. There is currently minimal coordination between them, resulting in fragmented developments and limited knowledge sharing.
The
short-term objective
of the Group AMOS Competence Centre is to coordinate efforts across the Group's AMOS instances and promote the alignment of functionalities and priorities. In the
medium term
, the role may support gradual convergence of competencies and governance models across OpCos. Ultimately, the Centre aims to become a strategic Group service function, offering expert support and guidance, with a clear and robust governance model ensuring cohesion in AMOS usage Group-wide.
Key Responsibilities
Establish and lead the
Group AMOS Competence Centre
