Why This Role Is a Game‑Changer

This is not a typical data entry position. It is an advanced, strategic role that sits at the intersection of data engineering, business intelligence, and operational excellence. You will partner directly with the Digital Channels, Personalization, and Loyalty Innovation teams, shaping the way arenaflex leverages data to power next‑generation customer experiences, optimize flight operations, and support enterprise‑wide initiatives.

• Team Leadership & Development: Recruit, mentor, and grow a diverse team of data analysts, engineers, and scientists. Foster a culture of curiosity, continuous learning, and collaborative problem‑solving.
• Technology Evaluation & Innovation: Stay abreast of emerging data technologies (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, AWS Redshift, Palantir Foundry) and recommend strategic investments that align with arenaflex’s long‑term data strategy.
• Compliance & Governance: Ensure all data handling practices comply with industry regulations, privacy standards, and internal governance policies.

Essential Qualifications
