Job Description:

As the nation’s flag carrier, we take great pride in connecting Britain with the world and the world with Britain.

It’s something we’ve been doing for over 100 years, ever since we launched the world’s first international scheduled air service between London and Paris.

This originality has been in our blood since day one. It’s the spirit we share with the people that fly with us, our partners, and our colleagues.

So, whether you are a reassuring voice on the end of a phone, a smile at the door, under a wing keeping the turbines spinning or landing us gently in far-flung places, a job at British Airways is yours to make.

We know great things can happen when you’re inspired to think big and bring your ambition to work every day, which is why, at British Airways the sky is never the limit.

The role:

As the Head of Airport & Navigation Charges, you will be responsible for leading a £1B+ ‘User Charges’ P&L budget. This includes global air navigational charges, aeronautical charges at airports, and UK aircraft parking. Your goal is to achieve excellent financial and operational performance for British Airways.

What you’ll do:

  • Build and maintain exceptionally effective relationships across the airline and group, ensuring the ongoing delivery of world-class airport and navigational charges (“User Charges”) for British Airways.
  • Develop, coordinate, and manage inputs into the Financial Plans and Business Plans, ensuring flawless execution.
  • Work closely with the Finance team to closely monitor budget progress and take appropriate corrective actions to ensure we meet our targets. Find opportunities to successfully implement cost reduction initiatives in collaboration with key partner teams within the airline and group.
  • Influence HAL, GAL, NATS (and other strategic suppliers) on significant charging and charging structure decisions to achieve efficient outcomes for British Airways/IAG.

What you’ll bring to British Airways:

  • Demonstrated skill in finding common ground among different collaborators with competing priorities.
  • Working knowledge of airport operations, finance, and project management, enabling you to be impactful in your role.
  • Strong negotiation skills, underpinned by robust financial analysis and analytical capabilities.
  • Expertise in crafting, developing, and implementing tools to drive process improvements, including producing standard and ad-hoc reports and dashboards to evaluate your successes.

Your experience:

  • Experience in leading sophisticated, matrixed relationships, preferably within the aviation sector.
  • Outstanding problem-solving skills and a strong command of data modelling techniques.
  • High competence with data query and data management tools, including SQL, Business Objects, and advanced Excel skills.
  • Proven experience in airline, airport, and contract negotiation.

What we offer:

We believe that all the people who work with us should feel valued for the part they play. It’s one of the reasons our rewards go far beyond a competitive salary.

From the day you join us, you’ll get access to brilliant staff travel benefits including unlimited basic and premium standby tickets on British Airways flights. You’ll also receive up to 30 discounted ‘Hotline’ airfares per year for yourself, friends, and family.

At British Airways you’ll have the chance to take on new challenges and move forward in a way that feels right for you. We encourage all those who work for us to consider opportunities right across our business to help you develop and progress.

We never stand still, and we don’t expect our people to either.

Inclusion & Diversity

At British Airways we all have a part to play in creating an inclusive place to work. Diverse representation among our people is really important to us and we recognise that all our colleagues are uniquely different and bring their own originality, creativity and identity to work.

Inclusion and diversity is a key driver of innovation and we’re committed to creating a culture where everyone feels that they can be themselves. We’re looking for people from all backgrounds and cultures to join us and be a part of our journey to become a Better BA as we continue to connect Britain with the world and the world with Britain.
