Trading Analyst
At easyJet our aim is to connect people to what’s important by offering the best routes at the best price in Europe and beyond. It takes a world class Commercial Function to set a competitive pricing and trading strategy that still offers the value that our customers expect – and as our new Trading Analyst you’ll play a hugely important role in that.
Joining our Revenue Management & Trading Team and reporting into a Lead Trading Manager for one of our geographical regions, you’ll use your commercial awareness and analytical skill to drive performance across our network. Closely monitoring sales trends and the external market, you’ll help design, implement, and monitor initiatives to improve our revenue-per-seat, close revenue gaps, and spot risks and opportunities along the way.
The aviation industry is fast paced and exciting, and whilst we’re already one of Europe’s largest airlines we still have ambitious plans for the future. Being one of our Analysts means making a vital contribution to that but it will also set you up for further progression and development within our growing function. And alongside the excellent travel benefits and perks you’d expect of working for easyJet, there’s never been a better time to join us.
What you need to do the role
In this role we’re looking for people who have both the technical skill to manipulate and analyse data but also the commercial awareness to help us translate analysis into actions. So along with experience of Excel and ideally SQL (or similar programming language), you’ll have knowledge of:
> Pricing & Revenue Management
> Modelling & Analysis
Whether that’s been gained within the aviation / travel industry, or you’ve gained exposure to these things as a graduate in an analytical or numerical degree - we have roles at a variety of levels and would love to hear from you.
This is a role that will see you interfacing with several teams within our Commercial function and across the business including Marketing, PR, Digital and Data Science – so you’ll need to have good interpersonal, communication, and influencing skills. Your list of responsibilities could include things like:
> Deliver financial targets for a specific commercial region.
> Conduct specific, bespoke analyses depending on trading needs, for example analysing performance around notable events and peak periods.
> Analysing and implementing pricing changes to support the trading team.
> Performing specific analysis required to support other departments the trading team interacts with.
> Supporting on specific projects/actions/trading needs, that might involve jointly working with the central revenue management teams.
Lastly, you’ll need to be a self-motivated person who can deal with ambiguity in a changing environment – applying your problem-solving skills along the way.
