Innovation Manager

In this role, you will play a key part in shaping how Heathrow embraces new technology by identifying opportunities that genuinely add value. You'll build strong relationships across the organisation, helping colleagues articulate their challenges and uncover where innovation can make a measurable difference. Through a structured and methodical approach, you'll design and lead trials that test new ideas in a safe, controlled and cost effective way-ensuring that each trial has clear objectives, defined success measures, and strong business sponsorship.

You'll work hand in hand with internal partners and external specialists, coordinating all aspects of trial delivery from planning and risk identification to collaboration with teams such as Data Protection, Cyber Security, AI Ethics and Health & Safety. Your role will be essential in guaranteeing that every trial meets Heathrow's required standards and aligns with our technology, safety and wellbeing frameworks.
