  • Design and build comprehensive rate cards covering all air carriers and airports across US, Canada, Europe, and India, determining the most effective data architecture and structure for ongoing usability
  • Leverage AI-powered tools and automation to accelerate data collection, validation, and normalization improving both speed and accuracy of deliverables
  • Establish a sustainable, self-service mechanism (e.g., automated data pipelines, scheduled refreshes, or structured templates) that requires minimal ongoing maintenance after the contract period concludes
  • Provide regular progress updates to program managers and leadership, and proactively recommend process improvements or alternative approaches to enhance data quality and operational efficiency


Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field, or 5 years of equivalent professional experience
  • 3 years of experience in business intelligence, data analysis, or data engineering
  • 3 years of experience working with large, unstructured, or semi-structured datasets from multiple source types
  • Experience using AI/ML tools or generative AI to build-out data knowledge (e.g. data extraction, classification, or enrichment)
  • Experience building automated reporting solutions or data pipelines
  • Experience with SQL and at least one data visualization tool (e.g., Tableau, QuickSight, Power BI)


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in aviation, logistics, transportation, or supply chain industries
  • Familiarity with airport charges, carrier billing structures, or aviation fee schedules
  • Experience with scripting languages such as Python or R for data manipulation and automation
  • Experience creating self-sustaining data products or mechanisms designed for handoff to non-technical stakeholders
