• Maintain consistently high-quality, professional communication to align team efforts and ensure unified direction.

Equally as important as all the technical "stuff", we’re looking for someone who is hungry to learn, irrespective of their seniority. Depending on experience we’re looking to bring someone in as an Commercial Analyst or Business Partner. We don’t believe in standing still (we work in travel, after all), but instead think that everyone should be learning, all the time. Whether it’s a new analytical tool, an industry event or a mentoring opportunity, we will support you to grow your skillset.
If you’re excited by working in a fast-paced environment, are obsessed by all things customer and want to join us on our journey, we’d love to chat.
What we’ll give you
• You’ll be joining a team of genuine, passionate people
• You’ll have the freedom to decide on the best way of working to get the job done. We work cross-functionally, so you’ll be given opportunities to develop skills outside of your core skillset.
• You’ll be an integral part of a team which will deliver results, and who doesn’t want that?
We offer a competitive salary and benefits; we’re all about holidays, so we practice what we preach and offer some great travel discounts. We’d also offer you private medical and life assurance - of course we hope you won’t need these, but we want to offer you security.
What else do you need to know?
We believe in equal opportunities and aim to create a team that is representative of our society, knowing that embracing differences enhances the capabilities of our business and makes for a happy place to work. We are proud to recognise and celebrate that we have a diverse culture where employees are accepted for who they are, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or ability.
