About The Role
(Hybrid)
As our Principal Business Operations Manager/ Programme Manager, you’ll sit right at the crossroads of strategy and execution within our Global Marketing team.

You’ll partner closely with senior leaders as a trusted advisor, programme managing complex, high-impact initiatives and building scalable ways of working that help the business move faster, smarter, and with confidence. From AI-powered tooling to crisp operating rhythms, your work will quietly (and sometimes not-so-quietly) raise the bar across Skyscanner.
