Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Owning regional merchandising performance across UK source markets, accountable for conversion, engagement, revenue and commercial outcomes.
  • Optimising onsite product discovery (navigation, search, filters, product listings and merchandising placements) so customers find the right trip faster.
  • Spotting market, product and pricing opportunities using customer behaviour, search trends and performance data.

  • The ability to read customer behaviour (product views, search activity, engagement) and turn it into action.
  • Confidence working across teams with several stakeholders to get things done.
  • Someone who thrives with a high degree of autonomy. We work in a squads and tribes model where you'll own your area, set your own priorities and be trusted to run with them, so you'll need to be self-directed and comfortable making the call without waiting to be told.
