A British Airways Job we would all covet

Lounge Development Executive at British Airways (ba.com)

"Accountable for owning the delivery of lounge improvement initiatives aimed at delivering a seamless customer experience, including lounge redevelopments, lounge refreshes and tactical improvements".

You could be in charge of the enhancements. I'd apply myself except just about to retire.

"Seamless"? Repairing upholstery?

What is my "seamless customer experience" please?

Quite funny that the role requires international travel given that BA seem on a mission to end up with lounges at LHR, LGW and nowhere else...

I guess you may be off to enhance them, just not within the ordinary English meaning of the word.

I know I'm being pedantic, but what is a "seamless" customer experience? One where the customer walks into the lounge but doesn't notice?

You are ideally qualified.

your experience in the lounge is equally marvelous as going thru security at LHR.

Collaborating with various internal and external partners, you will be involved with leading a variety of lounge projects "cost cutting measures" from long term strategic refurbishments to tactical quick wins.

i doubt. Personally I never apply for any job if I don’t know what the salary is going to be or at least an indication. Most people wouldn’t apply either. The “competitive salary” is a good indication that the salary would be probably just above minimum wage. Also I see the word “premium” in the job description. I remember for years one or two FT members were telling us how BA is not advertising itself as a premium airline… oh well.

This is almost a parody of a thread. A post and instant derision, priceless

I did see someone at T5B a few weeks ago with contractors having a very serious discussion on what shade of green carpet to go for. The whole pallet of colours was laid out on the floor whilst the BA employee pondered over this very difficult decision.
