What can you expect from this position?

The Director, Corporate Analytics is a pivotal senior finance leadership role that will establish and run the enterprise analytics capability to power high-quality decision-making across the entire organization. Reporting to the Executive Director, you will be the engine that drives the shift toward insight-driven finance; a mandate often referred to as "inverting the finance pyramid." Your core responsibility is to move beyond routine reporting and into complex modeling, economic analysis, and standardization of our investment philosophy. You will be instrumental in codifying what counts, what the hurdle rates are, and how risks and benefits are treated when evaluating projects. This position demands a leader who can not only build sophisticated models but can also translate complex data into a single, trusted source of executive-ready analysis to inform strategy, portfolio management, and value delivery across the enterprise

As Director, Corporate Analytics, you will:

• Establish enterprise analytics, build and manage the central analytics function, ensuring the enterprise has the data, models, and analytical tools necessary to support strategic and financial planning.
• Own complex modelling & scenario planning and lead all complex financial modelling and scenario analysis (e.g., traffic forecasting, debt capacity modeling) to stress-test business strategies and provide reliable long-term financial forecasts.
• Codify investment philosophy, design, socialize, and enforce the business case standard and investment philosophy used across the GTAA, defining methodologies for ROI, hurdle rates, and risk/benefit quantification.
• Advance profitability analysis, develop and refine unit economics and profitability analytics to provide clear visibility into the performance drivers of various business lines and products.
• Lead benefits realization and implement a robust framework for tracking and reporting capital and program benefits from initial approval through final realization, ensuring accountability and value delivery.
• Manage data integration and partner with IT and Finance teams to integrate data sources (Financial, Operational, Traffic) to ensure model accuracy and establish a "single source of truth" for executive reporting.
• Coach, mentor, and set high standards for the Corporate Analytics team, fostering a culture of intellectual curiosity, precision, and data-driven insight.

This is the role for you, if you have:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in corporate finance, financial planning, or quantitative analysis, with at least 5 years of management experience leading an advanced analytics or complex modeling team.
• CPA and/or CFA designation is required.
• Proven expertise in Advanced Financial Modeling; deep knowledge of business case development and investment governance; strong proficiency in data visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau); and demonstrated ability to communicate complex, quantitative concepts to non-finance executives.
• Experience in corporate development (M&A, joint ventures, strategic equity investments).
• Experience working with infrastructure, aviation, or capital-intensive assets at enterprise scale.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
• Ability to obtain and retain Transportation Security Clearance.
