Contract: 6 months FTC
About CAVU
For airports, for partners, for people. We are CAVU. At CAVU our purpose is to find new and better ways to make airport travel seamless and enjoyable for everybody. From the smallest ideas to the biggest changes. Every day here is about creating better travel experiences. From our revenue accelerating single platform technology, Propel, through to our world-class hospitality venues including 1903 and Escape Lounges – our solutions make travel more seamless and enjoyable for passengers, and more profitable for our clients and partners. We know that to bring your best ideas, you need the space to think, the right support, and the freedom to be your true, authentic self. Whether you’re working from our offices, from home, in a lounge, or out on the road, we provide the environment to create, innovate, and transform airport travel. If you’re looking for a career where you can make a real impact, bring new ideas to life, and push boundaries, then CAVU is the place for you.
Together, we can reach new heights. Together, we are CAVU.
What’s the role?
We’re looking for a commercially savvy People Partner to join us on a 6-month journey – one that’s all about transformation, integration, and growth.
With a number of high-impact projects underway – including M&A activity, global integration, and a rapid growth strategy – this role is all about making things happen, fast. You’ll step into a space with minimal central support, multiple stakeholders, and lots of moving parts – so we need someone who thrives in pace, ambiguity, and complexity.
You’ll be working across up to four workstreams covering transformation, structure, and integration – and you’ll be instrumental in shaping how people and culture evolve during this next phase. It’s a chance to truly hit the ground running and help drive meaningful change at CAVU.
About You:
• You’ve led or supported business transformation projects, ideally in fast-paced environments
• M&A integration experience is a huge bonus
• You're happy to create structure where none exists, but comfortable working with existing red tape and complexities that come with being part of an Airport group.
• You know how to challenge constructively – with experience managing difficult messaging and communication
• You thrive in cross-functional, diverse teams – and know how to get the best out of people
• You’re pragmatic, not precious – someone who believes in progress over perfection
The Perks
25 Days Holiday (rising with service), plus 4 flexible bank holidays
Buy up to 10 additional days leave
10% Company Pension
Annual Bonus Scheme
On-Site Gym
MediCash Scheme
Discounted CAVU products – including up to 50% off Escape Lounges & Parking
Rail & Retail Discounts
2 Paid Volunteering Days per year
