GRADUATES

I started working at TUI about eight years ago, after graduating with a Masters in Operational Research and Management Science. I’ve had various roles within the Commercial Team, developing yield management solutions within the UK. I’ve also supported the rollout of some of our products in different Markets, where I had the opportunity to travel and work with teams in Germany and Sweden. When I joined TUI there wasn’t a Graduate Scheme available in this area, so I’m glad that we’re able to offer one now. We’ve seen many people through the scheme that have progressed into other roles within the business, and this is a great way to get new fresh ideas, and the most up to date skills into the business.

I finished university with a BSc in Mathematics, went travelling for five months around South East Asia and Australia, and came home with £1.50 in my bank account! Luckily enough I managed to secure a job as a Campaign Analyst within TUI. Then a position on the Analytics & Data Science Graduate Scheme became available so I was able to transition onto the scheme. I spent a short period of time in Trading Analytics then moved into Marketing Analytics. It was within this department that I then departed the Graduate Scheme to a full time position as Senior Digital Analyst. TUI is an extremely open and friendly place so just be yourself. There are opportunities here for the job you’re applying for but there are loads of opportunities to progress, develop your skillsets and really find the perfect job for you.

2022 was the year I started my journey with TUI on the Security stream of the Technology Graduate Scheme. My journey took an unconventional route as I had a wealth of experience in other fields, from logistics to auditor; from the Army to the NHS and was looking to move into Information Security. TUI is definitely not the first company that comes to mind when thinking of technology and I was pleasantly surprised that this scheme ticked all my boxes and more. TUI is unique for Information Security, as it has multiple department rotations throughout the program to gain an overview of the work involved and it gives us a chance to see where we could fit in and what area we enjoy and wish to go forward with in our career. The flexibility and career development on offer means that there is something for everyone at TUI.

My journey with TUI began after I graduated with a degree in Biomedicine. While my background lacked experience in technology or the travel industry, my enthusiasm for travel and a deep desire to learn drove me to explore the possibilities. I knew I wanted to be a part of the dynamic and progressive world of technology, with its ever-evolving landscape, so I took a leap and applied to TUI! Since starting my job, I’ve been fortunate to embrace a diverse range of responsibilities. I have learned multiple coding languages and applied them for front-end software development across TUI and its brands, while also contributing to delivery analysis and supporting team management and leadership. For those considering joining TUI, go for it! Showcase your industry and brand research, willingness to learn and unique life experiences; these qualities will all help you excel in any career. Good luck!
