Functional Architect

Functional Architect

As Functional Consultant for the Offer & NDC scope, you will step into a role at the heart of one of the most transformative shifts in the airline industry. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the evolution of Offer and NDC capabilities and build deep customer intimacy supporting airlines as they refine how they design, price, and deliver modern retailing experiences.

You will operate at the crossroads of technology, business, and customer success. Working closely with airline teams, you will translate ambitions into actionable solutions, anticipate future needs, and bring clarity to complex functional and technical topics.

If you thrive in environments where innovation meets real-world impact, where customer partnership is key, this role will put you in the centre of a dynamic, high‑value transformation—one where your contributions genuinely matter.

The airline industry is undergoing a profound transformation as carriers strive to regain full control over the products they craft and distribute to their customers. Offer Management Systems are at the core of this shift, empowering airlines to design, price, and retail their products. Every major player is investing in this evolution — and at Amadeus, the Offer Business Domain is committed to leading the way with a future‑proof, market‑defining solution built on our strong technological foundations. The scope covered spans the full Offer value chain: shopping, pricing, fare filing, ATC/ASC, inventory, ancillary services, merchandising, personalised retailing, revenue management, Dynamic Pricing, group management, and NDC.

Within this domain, the Offer Solution Engineering (OSE) department plays a pivotal role in bringing this vision to life. OSE sits at the crossroads of product, technology, and customer engagement, ensuring that airlines can unlock the full value of their Offer & NDC ambitions.

Within OSE, the Technical Consultant acts as a linchpin between the customer’s business objectives and Amadeus’ products and services capabilities. The Consultant translates the airline’s ambitions into actions, aligns stakeholders across R&D, and ensures that every step — from initial business idea to actual commercial deployment — is delivered with excellence. The CSE champions the customer’s priorities, drives collaboration, anticipates risks, and ensures that the airline consistently realises value from its Offer & NDC transformation.
