Career path

Customer Operations Manager

British Airways

From 04/2023 to 08/2024

Company

What do you like about your job and the company?

I really enjoy human interaction and where possible helping and developing my team. I have learnt that I have a real passion for working with people and helping them develop within their careers across the organisation. The role is very diverse and no day is the same, which I enjoy as it keeps every day interesting and has developed me as a people manager. Being so close to the operation is also great, as it gives you a real buzz being in the heart of Terminal 5. Overall it has been a great developmental role, transitioning from Engineering to the Heathrow Customer Operation.

Greatest achievements

I felt as though there was a gap in my learning and so undertook a further Apprenticeship through the support of my fantastic. This led me to completing a Chartered Management Business Management degree.

British Airways is a great employer to work for. The range and variety of roles available is huge and the options to get involved in many of them is available. Everybody has the same goal to ensure that our customers have a great experience and whether you are part of the front facing Cabin Crew or Check In Agents, or Engineers ensuring the aircraft is safe and reliable or Ramp and Turn Round Agents making sure flights depart on time, it is all part of what makes it run so smoothly. Even back office roles, such as Payroll, play an important part of this whole process.
