• Track incentive thresholds to identify risks and revenue opportunities before targets are missed.
• Develop forecasting models for major supplier agreements and scalable approaches for smaller supplier relationships.
• Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual supplier revenue forecasts, including actuals versus forecast, budget, and prior-year comparisons.
• Provide revenue outlooks and financial risk assessments to senior management.

• Monitor and forecast GBV by travel category, market, supplier, and content source, translating booking volumes into revenue expectations.
• Assess the financial value and feasibility of reaching additional incentive tiers.
• Model supplier steering scenarios, balancing profitability with customer pricing, content, service quality, and contractual requirements.
• Analyse supplier revenue yield (supplier revenue as a percentage of GBV) and identify additional monetisation opportunities.
• Evaluate the profitability and ROI of supplier-funded marketing initiatives and preferred placements in collaboration with Supplier Management and Marketing.
• Assess net fares, upselling opportunities, commissions, back-end incentives, and preferred supplier programmes.
• Develop business cases for renegotiating or replacing underperforming agreements and evaluate the financial impact of distribution changes, including NDC.
