Business Relationship Manager – Enterprise Technology Services (ETS)
Do you understand the operational intensity of travel or retail? Can you translate business pressures into technology strategies that work in fast-paced, customer-centric environments?
Flight Centre Travel Group's Enterprise Technology Services team needs a Business Relationship Manager who speaks both business and technology fluently and who has navigated the unique demands of either the travel or retail sector.
Why Travel or Retail Experience Matters
Whether you've worked in travel or retail, you understand what many corporate IT professionals don't : the reality of peak trading periods, the criticality of customer-facing systems, the complexity of multi-channel operations, and the pace at which business priorities can shift.
You know that technology decisions need to balance customer experience, operational efficiency, supplier / partner integrations, and commercial outcomes simultaneously. You've experienced the pressure when systems underperform during critical trading windows, and you understand the business impact of getting technology right or wrong.
