Revenue manager


What is a revenue manager and what do they do?

A revenue manager uses performance data and analytics to help their organisation more accurately predict demand, and other consumer behaviours, to maximise revenue and profit. They are responsible for providing information to the business that allows management to make informed pricing and distribution decisions. Revenue managers apply economic and financial knowledge, staying abreast of market conditions and the wider economy, to assess any impact on a company’s revenues. They are responsible for implementing and driving trading and pricing strategies, working across the business to ensure processes enhance performance. The role is highly commercial and analytical with revenue managers typically benchmarking against past performance to estimate future revenues, whilst balancing short-term seasonal results against long-term goals.
