About the role
As a SCEPTRE Domain Consultant, you will make an impact by leading current-state functional discovery for a SCEPTRE enterprise assessment supporting a major North American airline. You will establish the evidence needed to guide system decoupling recommendations and an implementation roadmap. You will work collaboratively with solution and integration architects, airline technology and operations stakeholders, and functional subject matter experts.
In this role, you will:
- Lead structured discovery across SCEPTRE modules, including Maintenance Execution, Materials Management, Planning and Optimization, Procurement, Finance and Warranty, and shared integrations.
- Document current-state business processes, business rules, data structures, and undocumented system logic identified through functional analysis and reverse engineering.
- Map integrations between SCEPTRE and connected platforms, including SAP or ERP, Korber or WMS, AeroExchange or SPEC2000, EMS, and Flight Operations, capturing data flows, dependencies, and decoupling complexity.
- Partner with solution and integration architects to assess module-level decoupling feasibility, impacts, risks, data-quality concerns, and capabilities that must be preserved during replacement.
- Facilitate stakeholder workshops, translate COBOL-level findings into validated and traceable business requirements, and contribute to gap analyses, build-versus-buy assessments, solution-design inputs, and AI or machine-learning feasibility reviews.
Work model
We believe hybrid work is the way forward as we strive to provide flexibility wherever possible. Based on this role’s business requirements, this is a hybrid position based in Dallas, Texas. Weekly travel is expected for approximately the first three months. Candidates outside Dallas may also be considered if they are able to meet the required weekly travel commitment. Regardless of your working arrangement, we are here to support a healthy work-life balance through our various wellbeing programs.
The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting. This may change based on the project you’re engaged in, as well as business and client requirements. Rest assured, we will always be clear about role expectations.
What you must have to be considered
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Aviation Management, or a related field.
- 10+ years of experience in airline maintenance, repair and overhaul technology transformation, systems implementation, or functional business analysis.
- Direct hands-on experience with SCEPTRE or a comparable IBM mainframe-based MRO platform, such as Ramco Aviation MRO, PMI MRO, AMASIS, or an equivalent legacy system.
- Proven experience documenting current-state processes and eliciting requirements in airline maintenance environments, with knowledge of aircraft records, airworthiness, discrepancy management, parts traceability, maintenance documentation, warranty recovery, cost capture, and financial accruals.
- Experience supporting legacy-to-modern MRO platform migrations and working across Maintenance Control, Engineering, Records, Planning, Stores, Information Technology, and Quality or Compliance stakeholder groups.
These will help you succeed
- Direct SCEPTRE experience and the ability to interpret IBM IMS database, COBOL, and IMS DC system behavior and data structures.
- Familiarity with the IBM mainframe technology stack, including COBOL, IMS V10, DB2, and JCL.
- Experience with SPEC2000 or AeroExchange supplier-connectivity standards.
- Prior airline TechOps or MRO technology experience with a major U.S. carrier.
- Experience working in structured Agile discovery sprints; an MBA, postgraduate qualification, Agile or Scrum, ITIL, CAMO, or Part-145 familiarity is an advantage.
We're excited to meet people who share our mission and can make an impact in a variety of ways. Don't hesitate to apply, even if you only meet the minimum requirements listed.
