Job description

Coop Holidays are looking for a Product Development Executive to join their team.

Coop Holidays are the in‑house, own brand tour operator for Your Coop Travel.

This role reports directly to the Product Manager and encompasses having responsibility for developing, managing and maintaining the product suite and portfolio including but not limited to distribution systems, pricing and yield, commercial relations and delivery of offers.

The post holder will help identify and recommend future commercial opportunities and improvements working with both internal and third‑party providers to define, develop and implement new product.

Knowledge of the travel industry is essential as well as being comfortable using technological systems and inputting data.

The successful candidate will need to demonstrate a passion and enthusiasm to learn, be able to provide a professional level of customer service dealing appropriately with confidential and sensitive information and a flexible approach towards managing time and tasks. Occasionally situations may arise that require the post holder to perform other duties or assignments as may be reasonably requested by the Management Team.

At Your Coop, you will be part of business that puts people at the heart of everything they do. We’re a multi‑business group operating in Food Retail, Childcare, Travel, Post Office and Utilities, meaning you will get a breadth of multi‑sector experience in a complex and fast‑moving organisation. No two days will ever be the same! What makes us different?

The money you help us make is returned to our members and communities. We are a cooperative which means we share a third of our profits to our members and invest a third in our community support initiatives. In a profit‑driven world, we are the difference.

We’re proud to be owned by our members, and we’d love to be owned by you.

Who are we looking for?

• Previous experience of dealing with travel systems (ideally Inspiretec)
• Effective prioritising, planning, organising, negotiating and influencing skills.
• Ability to work on own initiative and prioritise workload.
• Provide accurate, clear precise information.
• Excellent IT skills (competence in office)
• Strong customer focus and a commitment to quality and service

What can we offer you?

• Employee Discounts – Save up to 60% off Childcare, 20% off your Food Shop and 15% off your next Holiday
• 30 Days Annual Leave – Rising with service up to a maximum of 37 days
• Health and Wellbeing Programmes – Benefit from our Stream App and our partnership with Grocery Aid for financial and mental health support
• Full Training and Accredited Development Plans
• Enhanced Maternity, Paternity and Family leave and more!
