  • Analyse commercial performance, build business cases and turn data into actionable insights.
  • Research emerging trends, benchmark competitors and explore new technologies shaping airline distribution.
  • Develop communication and knowledge-sharing materials for our global sales organisation.
  • Collaborate closely with international stakeholders, technology partners and teams across Sales & Digital Retailing.
  • Own dedicated projects from planning to execution, while supporting day-to-day operations, project management, events and team offsites.
