Job Description
Revenue Manager
Argyl is looking for a part-time Revenue Manager (0.6 FTE) to lead revenue strategy, pricing and distribution across our growing accommodation portfolio.
About Us
We're Argyl, a growing property management company with a portfolio across London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, and Cork.
Our mission is to look after guests and properties with care and attention to detail, ensuring a smooth experience. We're locally run, hospitality-minded, and trusted by guests and owners. We keep things simple too: clean, comfortable spaces, friendly service, and real local knowledge.
More about the role
Revenue management is currently overseen by our Commercial Director as part of a much wider remit. We already have revenue measures and processes in place, but we now need someone with the time and expertise to take clear ownership of the function, improve our approach and make sure decisions are consistently supported by performance data.
This is a commercially focused role with responsibility for making informed pricing and distribution decisions across the portfolio. It is not an administrative reservations or listing-management position. You will be expected to understand what is driving performance, identify opportunities and risks, and clearly advise the directors on the action needed.
The role is part-time, and we are open to discussing how the 24 hours are arranged. This could be three full working days or shorter hours spread across four or five days. We would agree on a regular weekly pattern with the successful candidate. Applicants will be expected to spend one day a week in the office, either Birmingham, Edinburgh, or London.

This is an outline of the role and not an exhaustive list; responsibilities may evolve as the business grows and be based on your experience.
