Pricing, Fares & Reservations

• Support the implementation of new pricing strategies and fares reform, from requirements gathering through to testing, implementation and assurance.
• Support the delivery and ongoing management of seat reservations, including the new fleet.
• Ensure products, fares and availability are correctly configured, available for sale and aligned with commercial and operational requirements.

Testing, Assurance & Continuous Improvement

• Lead system testing, including test scenario development, User Acceptance Testing, validation and post-implementation assurance.
• Identify and deliver improvements to automation, data quality, system performance and operational efficiency.
• Investigate system, data and process issues, identify root causes and deliver sustainable solutions with Technology, Data and external suppliers.

Stakeholder & Project Delivery

• Build strong relationships across Revenue Management, Pricing, Train Planning, Operations, Customer Experience, IT, Data and external suppliers.
• Act as a key link between commercial teams and technical/data specialists, ensuring requirements are clearly understood and delivered.
• Support EMR and other Train Operating Companies with the successful delivery of commercial projects, initiatives and ad-hoc requirements.
