Key Responsibilities:

  • Data Analysis: Conduct exploratory data analysis to identify trends, patterns, and opportunities within large and complex datasets.
  • Model Development: Develop and implement predictive and prescriptive models using machine learning and statistical techniques to solve business problems.
  • Feature Engineering: Create and engineer features from various data sources to improve model performance.
  • Data Visualization: Collaborate with Technical Product Managers and Data Visualization Developers to communicate findings and insights effectively through data visualization tools and reports (Power BI and Tableau).
  • Collaboration: Collaborate closely with the Senior Technical Product Manager and cross functional teams to define business problems, scope and success criteria, and translate them into advanced analytics solutions.
  • Model Deployment: Deploy and monitor models in production, ensuring their performance and scalability.
  • Community & Research: Keep current on data science and AI tools, techniques and best practices and provide advice to citizen data analysts/scientists and the community of practice.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field with 3-5 years of relevant experience.
  • Strong proficiency in SQL and Python is a must have — with expertise in machine learning libraries and frameworks. R and other similar languages would be an asset.
  • Experience in predictive modelling, statistical analysis and machine learning techniques.
  • Prior experience deploying AI models into production environments.
  • Proven experience developing dashboards in Power BI or Tableau.
  • Proficiency in cloud platforms (e.g., Azure ML Studio, Snowflake).
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey complex findings and AI model outputs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have:

  • Familiarity with MLOPs.
  • Data Science/AI training or certification.
  • A master's degree and/or Ph.D. in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Prior experience working for an airline.
  • Agile training or certification
