ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Senior Retail Performance Manager to join the Retail team at Edinburgh Airport in a newly-created role. This is a senior role that will take the lead on managing performance across a diverse portfolio of business partners, as well as supporting the Head of Retail in setting and delivering the annual Budget.
The Retail team, part of the wider Commercial X-Aero function, is responsible for ensuring that the retail offering at the airport – including shops, restaurants, bars, duty-free and foreign currency exchange – provides choice and great service for an increasingly diverse mix of passengers, while also delivering strong commercial return.
The airport is at a really exciting point in its history as we look ahead to annual passenger numbers increasing from nearly 16 million in 2024 to over 20 million by 2030 (and even more beyond). To satisfy this growth, the footprint of the airport will expand across most areas. The Retail team is laser-focused on ensuring that the major capital projects underway to deliver this transformation provide high quality space, in the right place and at the right time, to maximise the offering available to our diverse and growing passenger base.
The core days for this role are Monday – Friday, with a requirement to work occasional weekends and early/late shifts. You will be based at Edinburgh Airport with the opportunity for flexible working.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

The Senior Retail Performance Manager will support the Head of Retail in delivering the annual Retail budget, including (but not limited to) the following:
