Inventory & Trading Executive
Location: Purfleet, Essex (Hybrid)Reports to: Head of Inventory & Trading
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.
