  • Collaborate with Product and Product Innovation teams to improve margins / volumes, minimise competitor impact, and launch new initiatives at optimal price points.
  • Trading & Forecasting

  • Forecast promotional performance and collaborate with Marketing & Sales to design impactful promotions that deliver incremental volume / margin.
  • Support reporting on commercial strategy performance, new initiatives, and business risk / opportunity to stakeholders and Board packs.
  • Contribute to the annual business strategy, ensuring accurate, timely, and commercial-focused inputs.
  • Ancillary Revenue Streams

  • Foster a culture of curiosity, rigor, and commercial impact, ensuring high engagement and professional growth.
  • Provide mentorship, set clear performance goals, review progress, and recognise achievements.
  • Promote collaboration and knowledge sharing to drive innovation and efficiency, maintaining a positive and inclusive work environment.
  • What you’ll bring :

  • Senior-level experience in revenue management, ideally in travel, hospitality, or related sectors, with a track record of revenue growth.
  • A working knowledge of AI-powered revenue management and analytics platforms will be beneficial. A deep understanding of such tools will be highly advantageous.
  • Advanced Excel and financial modelling skills and experience with analytics platforms (e.g. PowerBI).
  • Confident communicator and collaborator, able to influence cross-functional teams whilst being able to take on board the inputs of others.
  • Experience managing and mentoring analysts, with a passion for developing talent.
  • Be very comfortable working in a fast-paced, high performance and agile environment.
