A career without limits

As the nation’s flag carrier, we take great pride in connecting Britain with the world and the world with Britain.

It’s something we’ve been doing for over 100 years, ever since we launched the world’s first international scheduled air service between London and Paris.

This originality has been in our blood since day one. It’s the spirit we share with the people that fly with us, our partners, and our colleagues.

So, whether you are a reassuring voice on the end of a phone, a smile at the door, under a wing keeping the turbines spinning or landing us gently in far-flung places, a job at British Airways is yours to make.

We know great things can happen when you’re inspired to think big and bring your ambition to work every day, which is why, at British Airways the sky is never the limit.

The Role

Manager, Training Planning

The Global Learning Academy is responsible for planning and delivering training that helps our people build the skills and knowledge they need throughout their careers at British Airways. As Manager, Training Planning, you'll lead the team responsible for coordinating training across the business, ensuring training is planned effectively and resources are in place to meet business needs.

Leading a team, you'll work with colleagues from across British Airways to coordinate training across the business, helping ensure learning is delivered where and when it's needed. If you enjoy getting the best from people, bringing teams together and solving complex planning challenges, this is an excellent opportunity to do just that.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the Training Planning team, ensuring training is planned and scheduled effectively across the business.
  • Balance training demand with trainer, facility and resource availability to deliver achievable training plans.
  • Work closely with Learning Business Managers, Design, Operations, Training Delivery and business stakeholders to ensure training plans reflect business priorities.
  • Act as the key point of contact for planning matters, resolving issues and ensuring stakeholders are kept informed.
  • Lead, coach and develop your team, creating a collaborative and high-performing team environment.
  • Ensure planning activities are delivered accurately, within agreed timescales and in line with governance requirements.
  • Use planning data to identify trends, manage risks, forecast and support decision making.
  • Lead improvements to planning processes, increasing consistency, efficiency and service across the Global Learning Academy.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
