You will need to monitor and react to demand in the competitive holiday market, and take relevant pricing actions to maximise opportunities and overcome any barriers to sales. The decisions you take will directly drive the price offering to our customers, and ultimately feed in to the overall financial performance of TUI UK&I.

You also have the chance to work with several areas of the business in this role, giving you exposure to these areas, and allowing you make recommendations and join discussions that will help drive both current and future business strategy.

Working closely with the Destination, Yield and Aviation teams, this will be achieved by providing market & portfolio analysis, supporting the trading performance of the destinations, monitoring competitor activity and working with the Content & Customer Proposition teams to ensure the right level of exposure for key properties & strategic partnerships.

You will also be required to support in the pricing of our products, starting at the initial brochure pricing through to early and late trading. You will gauge demand for certain products to ensure that we maximise revenues.
