  • Work alongside the Pricing and Revenue Management team across Jetstar and Qantas
  • Key role in supporting the culture of data-driven, customer centric decision making across Jetstar

  • Minimum three years' experience in competitive consumer retail markets such as energy, financial services, insurance, telecommunications or airlines
  • Proven track record of leading the Analytics capability within a data-driven environment
  • Proficient with statistical test methods (T-test, ANOVA, A/B testing methods)
  • Strong problem-solving skills, commercial acumen and negotiating skills
  • Ability to present insights and analysis in non-technical language and influence senior decision makers within the business
  • Familiarity with cloud environment (eg AWS) and ability to analyse large sets of data
  • Demonstrable experience with programming languages for machine learning (SQL, Python, R, MATLAB, etc.)
  • Proficient with advanced analytical techniques such as classification, regression and similarity matching and other machine learning and data science techniques.
  • First class communication and presentation skills and the ability to inspire a highly functional team
