Dynamic Trading Executive

Description:

An exciting opportunity to join a growing and ambitious dynamic trading team, with growth beyond the boundaries of the current mainstream offering over the next 5 years and the successful applicant will help shape that growth.

The Dynamic Trading Executive will drive sales performance and help shape the strategy for dynamically sourced flights in Ireland. You will analyse availability and price of dynamic package holidays to ensure they are relevant to competition and structured to deliver budget volume and margin. Working with your colleagues in the yield teams, you will explore opportunities to achieve these results, taking calculated risks and influencing decision making to complement TUI volume.

The team in Ireland is made up of small, multi-functional teams with the experience and knowledge to help design, adapt and deliver holidays, which we do with the assistance of our UK colleagues.

The role is based in Dublin, but at TUI we believe work is something you do not somewhere you go. We believe in offering as much flexibility to the individual on whether they work from an office or elsewhere. Of course, there will be occasions each month when we need you in the office for business reasons, but whenever reasonable we allow you to make the choice.

Closing date for applications will be Friday 10th May
