Project description
I applied for a job as Airside Performance Manager in the UK for a UK based airline – Monarch. I need to prepare presentation/speech on ‘What do you feel your top

three objectives will be in the role, and how do you plan to meet and exceed those objectives?’
Below you can find the information regarding the job. In my opinion the top objectives are safety, on time performance and supplier performance. Brief

DescriptionResponsible to the Base Ground Operations Manager for managing all elements of the airside operation at the assigned base(s) and provide support across the

network. This role will be specifically focused on consistent delivery of excellent operational safety, on-time performance and managing airport and supplier

performance relating to Ground Handling, catering operations/logistics, aircraft cleaning & presentation and airfield performance. All of these aspects allow Ground

Operations to ensure we meet the demands of the Customer Proposition of Superior Customer Service at a Competitive Price. A team of Airside Performance Managers will

deliver this via a robust compliance monitoring program, accurate record keeping, detailed performance data analysis and will forge close working partnerships with

airport operators and 3rd party suppliers, as well as internal stakeholders such as Operations, CSO, pilots, cabin crew and the Ground Ops front of house teams. Each

Airside Performance Manager will be assigned specific seasonal objectives via the PDR process which they will be responsible for managing; e.g. safety compliance,

cleaning, catering, de-icing, Ground Ops manuals. The broader objectives, such as OTP will be shared and the Airside Performance Managers will be expected to work

closely as a team. Close interaction with the Front of House teams is very much required, particularly in support of OTP initiatives. At times of disruption the

Airside Performance Managers will be expected to be customer facing. The Airside Performance Manager role is expected to spend the majority of the time out actively in

the operation. Working patterns will be largely dictated by the objectives set and very likely to include weekends, early starts and some night-time working. A pro-

active and flexible approach to achieving the set objectives is expected Detailed DescriptionQuality, Safety & Compliance Excellent knowledge of airline and local
