Managing Director - MRO
A specialist aviation MRO business supporting commercial aircraft operators is seeking a Managing Director to lead the next phase of growth for its Dublin operation.
The business is looking for a commercially minded leader capable of scaling a regulated aviation environment while building high performing teams, strengthening customer relationships, and driving long term strategic growth.
Key Responsibilities

• Drive business growth through customer engagement, commercial strategy, and capability expansion
• Lead workforce planning, succession planning, and organisational development initiatives
• Ensure full compliance across aviation regulatory and quality frameworks including FAA and EASA environments
• Oversee operational excellence, continuous improvement, and risk mitigation across the site
• Build strong relationships internally across a matrix organisation and externally with customers, regulators, and industry partners
• Champion a people first leadership culture built around trust, accountability, collaboration, and long term employee engagement
What They Are Looking For
• Senior leadership experience within aviation MRO, aerospace services, airline engineering, or a highly regulated technical environment
• Strong commercial and financial acumen with previous P&L responsibility
• Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams in a complex operational setting
• Experience scaling operations, developing teams, and driving strategic growth initiatives
• Strong stakeholder management and executive communication skills
• A leadership style that balances commercial performance with culture, employee development, and long term organisational stability
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Rare opportunity to inherit an established operation with significant projected growth
• Executive level visibility and influence within a global aerospace organisation
• Long term strategic investment into the Dublin operation
• Opportunity to shape the future direction of a specialised aviation business unit
• Supported transition from the current Managing Director to ensure continuity and long term success
Package includes highly competitive base salary, bonus structure, pension, healthcare, and relocation support where required.
