The Opportunity

Own the numbers. Drive performance. Make an impact.

This is a hands-on, fast-paced commercial role for someone who thrives on making decisions, spotting opportunities, and reacting quickly to change. You’ll take control of cruise inventory, pricing, and promotions—working cross-functionally to maximise revenue and occupancy.

If you’re analytical, proactive, and confident working autonomously while collaborating with multiple teams, this role puts you right at the heart of commercial performance.

Inventory & Setup

Own cruise inventory setup across all sales channels

Ensure cabins are always available and optimally distributed

Configure offers across Direct, Trade, and Affiliate channels

Manage berthing and unlock capacity where needed

Partner with Contact Centre teams to maximise oversell opportunities

Pricing & Promotions

Create and manage promotional campaigns aligned to commercial goals

Continuously monitor and optimise performance to drive conversion and yield

Track competitor activity and keep pricing competitive

Spot opportunities to influence demand and drive sales direction

Communicate changes clearly across all stakeholders

Performance & Yield

Monitor revenue and occupancy performance across sailings

Identify underperformance and take decisive action

Maximise yield on high-demand cruises through pricing and availability control

Analyse booking trends and onboard spend to generate insights

Evaluate what’s working—and what’s not—to continuously improve results

What You Bring as a Inventory & Trading Executive:

Proven experience in inventory and trading (travel/cruise a plus, not essential)

Strong analytical mindset with confidence in data-led decisions

Commercial instinct with a focus on revenue and yield growth

Clear communicator who can influence across teams

Highly organised with strong attention to detail

Comfortable working at pace, managing shifting priorities
