A senior pricing opportunity where your decisions genuinely move the numbers.

We're looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Head of Pricing to take ownership of the pricing strategy for a high-volume consumer business operating within the travel and transport sector.

This is a role for someone who doesn't just analyse pricing β€” you shape it.

You'll own the strategic pricing agenda across a complex, high-volume product portfolio, using demand, capacity, competitor and customer signals to make fast, commercially intelligent decisions.

  • What you'll be doing
  • Own and lead the overall pricing strategy, including rate architecture, lead-time curves, seasonality and discount discipline.
  • Turn booking pace, demand and market intelligence into decisive pricing action.
  • Own pricing-led revenue inputs into annual budgets, forecasts and longer-term financial plans.
  • Drive revenue, yield and EBITDA performance, balancing volume with margin.
  • Lead a robust test-and-learn agenda across price points, floor prices, lead times and product mix.
  • Provide senior-level performance insight and commercial commentary, clearly articulating risks, opportunities and recommended actions.
  • Lead and develop a small revenue management team while working closely with Marketing, E-commerce, Performance Marketing and other commercial stakeholders.
  • Act as the senior voice for pricing and trading, influencing commercial strategy at leadership level.

What we're looking for

You'll be an experienced revenue management or pricing professional with a strong commercial instinct and a track record of delivering growth.

Ideally, you'll bring

  • A strong background in travel, transport, hospitality or another dynamic consumer sector.
  • Proven success in creating and executing pricing strategies that deliver revenue and yield growth.
  • Experience owning or contributing to annual budgeting and longer-term financial planning.
  • Strong analytical capability and confidence working with large datasets, Excel, BI and revenue management/pricing platforms.
  • The ability to turn complex data into clear commercial decisions.
  • A rigorous test-and-learn mindset.
  • The confidence to challenge assumptions, make difficult pricing calls and operate effectively under senior scrutiny.
  • Experience leading people and influencing across a matrixed commercial environment.

Why this role?

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of pricing strategy in a commercially significant business.

You'll have the autonomy to shape pricing decisions, influence senior stakeholders and build a modern revenue management approach β€” with a clear connection between your decisions and the bottom line.

If you're a strategic pricing leader who thrives in a fast-moving environment and wants a role where commercial judgement matters, we'd love to hear from you.
