Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. And we’re back (in a big way).

We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. For us, flying is so much more than simply taking off and landing (although we understand that is quite important). It’s about going the extra mile, in the air and on the ground, to create authentic experiences that put our guests firmly at the heart of everything we do.

**What you’ll be doing**:
The Commercial Acceleration Strategy team reports to the Chief Commercial Officer, and work alongside other Commercial Divisions including Marketing, Revenue Management, Direct Distribution, SME and Sales.

The objective of the Manager of Commercial Acceleration Strategy is to provide leadership support to the Senior Manager of Commercial Acceleration Strategy. This includes co-developing the broader commercial strategy and transformation roadmap to achieve our aspiration, and proactively identify opportunities to accelerate value capture. This role will lead two Commercial Acceleration Analysts and take ownership of selected deep-dives into these opportunities (i.e. special projects) as part of a 4-6 weeks sprint. These special projects will be in collaboration with relevant commercial functions.
- Proactively identify opportunities across commercial functions, and lead cross-functional coordination where required
- Lead a workstream within special projects and selected deep-dives for value acceleration capture
- Actively lead and support preparation for ELT/Board updates
- Proactively work with internal stakeholders across the commercial functions and across the VA Group
- Work closely with the Finance, Network and Revenue Management team
- Actively contribute to Commercial Acceleration team of analysts, through best practice sharing
- Proactively interrogate and analyse data to identify trends, gaps and opportunities, and understand drivers of commercial performance using Microsoft Excel, PowerBI and other analytical tools

**Who we’re looking for**:
You will have 4+ years' experience in top-tier management/strategy consulting and ready to take the next step in your career from an Experienced/Senior Consultant to the Manager of Commercial Acceleration Strategy. You will have a proven ability to successfully lead teams and promote a data led culture, to allow effective decision making across the commercial division. You have a passion for commercial performance improvement strategy and proven implementation experience. Furthermore, you have high attention to detail and experience interrogating and analysing large bodies of data to generate actionable insights and a desire to proactively seek opportunities for elite business performance; with the initiative to explore in detail. You are comfortable working in a face paced environment and enjoy the variety in working across different divisions.

**The successful applicant will be Brisbane based, or willing to relocate to Brisbane.**
- Relevant Bachelor degree (MBA or relevant post grad degree would be desirable)
- 4+ years' experience in strategy/management consulting
- Ability to synthesis insights into a management level narrative to drive decision making
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
- Excellent stakeholder management skills
- Experience in preparing CEO/Board level presentation
- Strong excel skills (competent in using BI tools would be desirable)
- Having aviation/travel knowledge is not essential, however highly desirable

- Heavily discounted air travel for you and your loved ones (including $1000 worth of travel credits per year)
