Developing your career in our evolving business means working alongside some seriously driven individuals. You’ll share our passion for the brand and serving our customers. You’ll be at the heart of our organisation, influencing important decisions that could transform the business. Finance Business Partners work across the airline to build an infrastructure that enables effective management and make sure decision making aligns with the airline’s overall strategic goals and we work collaboratively with Virgin Holidays. As a conduit between the business and management, you must have great interpersonal skills, professional rigor, objectivity and be proactive. You’ll need to keep an eye out for potential opportunities and help the business stay resilient. Through building trust and accountability with various senior stakeholders and being involved with strategic projects these roles are varied, interesting and challenging (and it’s a fun team to be a part of).
