Southampton, United Kingdom Knewin Full time

We recognise the value in having people with a variety of backgrounds, experience and skills in our business. That means the role requirements here should be seen as a guide, not a checklist. If you have more, less or different experiences, but really relevant skills, we’d love to hear from you.

We work flexibly and will help you to find a healthy balance of remote working and time in our fantastic Southampton office, collaborating, taking part in events and getting to know people that makes working with us so rewarding. We welcome the opportunity to discuss reduced hours and job share arrangements.


The Role

This is a new role within the recently established Strategy and Executive Planning function of Carnival UK, reporting directly into the VP Strategy & Executive Planning. As we begin to develop our longer-term planning horizon and underlying framework, this role will support the development of how we bring to life plans to meet our long-term aspirations and goals, working with both internal stakeholders and external organisations. Including:

  • working with the VP, support the development of a business planning framework that considers short, medium and long term goals, and links together strategic plans and activities to enable delivery
  • support delivery of both ad hoc and cyclical Executive and enterprise wide requirements from Corporate (including Board updates, strategic plan presentations etc.)
  • lead the high-level reporting of agreed strategic priorities that underpin delivery of our one and three year plans

Our role categories range from CUK15 (entry level) to CUK1 (Brand President) so you can clearly see internal development opportunities. This role is a CUK07 and is offered on a full time, permanent basis, with hybrid working in our Southampton office, a minimum of 3 days per week.


About You

Fresh ideas and different perspectives are what excite us most and help us to succeed. Alongside bringing these to the role, you’ll also need:

  • experience of working within a corporate strategy or strategic planning function
  • be an effective communicator
  • have strong commercial acumen
  • be able to effectively collaborate across a range of stakeholders
