About Skyscanner Everyone loves traveling, 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 160 million travelers count on us every month to skip the whole “47 browser tabs open” phase and find flights, cars, and hotels quickly and easily. About the role This is a hybrid position based in Barcelona, Edinburgh, or London, with a hybrid working policy of working in the office twice a week. What you'll be doing Owning a trusted data platform: lead the reliability, usability, governance, and economic performance of the platform the whole data organization depends on. Making experimentation fly: ensure product teams can test, learn, and make decisions quickly, with clean assignment, accurate exposure capture, and confidence in the numbers. Powering production‑ready ML: help data and ML signals move from promising ideas to dependable traveler‑facing experiences, without bespoke rework each time. Enabling AI‑assisted self‑serve analytics: create foundations for teams to ask better questions, find trusted answers faster, and consume analytics through AI‑native experiences grounded in governed metrics, clear definitions, and reusable knowledge. Building for agentic data engineering: shape how AI and automation can support data engineering workflows, from discovery and documentation to pipeline development, testing, monitoring, incident response, and faster delivery of trusted data products. Scaling data delivery: strengthen how data is moved, transformed, maintained, and served, so Skyscanner can support more use cases without scaling complexity at the same speed. Making quality visible: turn data quality into a managed organizational capability, with clear ownership, measurable health, and faster issue detection and resolution. Shaping the operating model: define the interfaces between data platform, AI platform, product engineering, analytics, data science, and business teams. Turning platform work into impact: connect technical investment to outcomes like experimentation velocity, personalization, revenue impact, cost control, and better product decisions. About you Platform leader at scale: have led business‑critical platforms that many teams rely on, and you know how to make shared infrastructure trusted, adopted, and economically sustainable. Product‑mindful and commercially sharp: connect platform choices to company priorities, from revenue impact and product learning to operational risk and ROI. Confident with data‑powered products: have enabled experimentation, ML, decisioning, or similar capabilities where data moves into real product experiences. Quality and ownership obsessed: make standards, measurement, accountability, and support models stick without wrapping everyone in red tape. Cross‑functional by nature: build alignment across product, engineering, AI, analytics, data science, and business teams while keeping boundaries clear and useful. Direct and pacey: move with the speed the business needs, make decisions with incomplete information, and be honest when something is not working. Strategic but sleeves‑rolled‑up: zoom out to shape the future state, then zoom in to unblock teams, sharpen priorities, and get the platform humming. What it's like here We have a team of genuinely curious, caring humans building things that help travelers explore the world a little easier. #J-18808-Ljbffr
