Location: London, Holborn (Hybrid – 3 days in office, 2 days from home or another location)

Salary: £70,000 – £75,000 dependant on experience

Looking for a role where your commercial instincts, data-savvy mindset and leadership skills can make a real impact?

At Premier Inn, we’re not just about great stays — we’re about smart, strategic thinking that drives performance across a portfolio of nearly 900 hotel sites. As one of our Commercial Leads, you’ll be the driving force behind revenue delivery, market strategy and cross-functional execution for the number of hotels which you are responsible for (circa 120 sites)

Why You’ll Love It Here

Private healthcare
Up to 10% matched pension
Up to 60% discount on Premier Inn stays and 25% discount on our Restaurant brand
Company Car or Car Allowance
Annual Incentive of up to 30%

Why This Role Is a Game-changer

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where you’ll be the market expert — not just reacting to trends but anticipating them. You’ll set the commercial strategy, own the plan and bring together teams across pricing, digital, operations and marketing to make it happen.

What You’ll Be Doing

Take full ownership of revenue performance across a portfolio of ~120 UK hotels.
Set and execute a commercial strategy that maximises volume, revenue and contribution.
Monitor market trends, demand signals, competitor activity and external data — including news and macroeconomic shifts — to inform decisions.
Build and manage a prioritised backlog of strategic and tactical initiatives.
Use advanced Excel (no macros needed) and Tableau to distil complex data into clear, actionable insights.
Make fast, confident decisions based on data — and communicate them clearly to stakeholders.
Act as the connector across multiple teams, ensuring alignment and accountability from strategy to execution.

What You’ll Bring

Proven commercial acumen and a sharp instinct for identifying opportunities and risks.
Experience managing performance across multiple sites or markets.
Strong analytical skills — able to interpret data, spot trends and make decisions quickly.
Excellent communication and influencing skills — you’ll be the glue that brings teams together.
A solid understanding of dynamic pricing, perishable inventory, digital acquisition and e-commerce.
Confidence in presenting complex strategies and challenging thinking at all levels.

This is your opportunity to lead with insight, act with impact and shape the future of one of the UK’s most trusted hospitality brands.

If you’re commercially sharp, data-driven, and ready to lead — we want to hear from you.
