About Skyscanner

Everyone loves travelling, but planning is not without its challenges ✈️. That's why we've spent 20 years building tools that turn travel-planning chaos into a breeze. Today, around 100 million travellers count on us every month to skip the whole “47 browser tabs open” phase and find flights, cars, and hotels quickly and easily 💻.

Joining Skyscanner means becoming part of a global brand that's striving to become the planet's go-to travel hack accessible for all 🌍.

Our vision? To be the world's number one travel ally. (Ambitious? 💪 Yes, but, hey, that's what got us here).


Now, we’re on the lookout for a Senior Data Analyst to help us bring that vision to even more travellers. 


About the role 

(Hybrid)

At the heart of data-led decisions: As a Senior Data Analyst in our Marketing Analytics team, you’ll sit right where data, strategy and growth collide. Your work will help shape how we invest, where we grow, and how efficiently we move the Skyscanner flywheel.

Driving growth through insight: This role is all about turning complex datasets into clear, commercial stories that unlock geo-growth, improve marketing efficiency and help teams make smarter decisions—faster.

A seat at the table: You’ll partner closely with marketing, commercial and leadership teams, bringing evidence, clarity and confidence to some of our most important business calls.


What you’ll be doing

  • Leading analytical projects end-to-end: You’ll independently scope, deliver and land impactful analysis, collaborating across teams to source data and solve meaningful business problems.
  • Turning data into growth: You’ll uncover opportunities to improve revenue, market expansion and operational efficiency through sharp, actionable insights.
  • Building dashboards people actually use: You’ll design intuitive, self-serve dashboards and visualisations (hello Tableau) that make insights easy to access and hard to ignore.
  • Telling the story behind the numbers: You’ll clearly communicate findings and recommendations to stakeholders, tailoring your message from deep-dive detail to exec-ready clarity.
  • Designing robust experiments: You’ll plan, run and analyse A/B and multivariate tests with strong statistical foundations and real-world impact.
  • Championing analytical best practice: You’ll bring rigour, curiosity and high standards to how we analyse, experiment and interpret data.
  • Connecting insight to action: You’ll ensure insights don’t just land—they lead to better decisions and measurable outcomes.

About you

  • Insight-driven: You have a track record of delivering high-quality, actionable insights from complex and varied data sources.
  • SQL-savvy: You’re confident writing advanced SQL—joins, subqueries, optimisation—the works.
  • Visualisation fluent: You’ve built impactful dashboards using Tableau (or similar tools) that empower stakeholders to self-serve.
  • Experimentation confident: You have a solid grounding in analytical methods and experimentation, and can independently design and analyse tests.
  • Cloud-curious: You’re comfortable working with modern data platforms like Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks.
  • Commercially minded: You can translate analysis into business impact, clearly linking insights to revenue, growth or efficiency.
  • A trusted partner: You’re great with stakeholders—able to influence at mid-level and steadily build confidence with senior leaders.
