Do you thrive on uncovering powerful insights and translating them into meaningful action? We’re looking for a Senior Analytics Specialist to join Air New Zealand’s Analysts Chapter – a close-knit team of curious problem solvers, trusted storytellers, and lifelong learners.
Why Air New Zealand?
We’re proud to be flying towards a more insightful future – with a purpose to unlock the power of data-driven knowledge and enable enhanced situational awareness at the speed of business . At Air New Zealand, we’re more than analysts – we’re partners to the business, innovators of tomorrow, and champions of simplicity through storytelling.
About the Role

You’ll work closely with stakeholders across the business, turning complex data into clear stories that spark action. This is a role for someone excited by strategic problem solving.
You’ll be energised by the opportunity to harness the power of AI to elevate our analytical workflows – enhancing both the speed and quality of insights we deliver. This role also gives you a chance to help shape the evolving craft of Analytics Specialists at Air New Zealand.

- Present insights in a compelling way, bringing clarity to complex issues and translating them into business outcomes.
- Mentor other analysts in our chapter, contributing to your development and growing our collective capability.
- Contribute to the chapter’s learning groups, solution forums, and ongoing efforts to optimise workflows and professional development.

What You’ll bring:
- Strong experience in insights and business analytics, ideally in a large, complex organisation.
- Expertise in SQL (we use Snowflake) and a passion for data exploration.
- Familiarity with Power BI or similar visualisation tools.
- Experience with dbt (data build tool) is a strong plus.
- A continuous improvement mindset and an interest in using AI tools to enhance analytics delivery.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement skills – you build trust and communicate complex ideas with ease.
- A drive for continuous learning and supporting the growth of your peers.
What we can offer you:
As demand for travel soars, Air New Zealand is leading the transformation of both domestic and international travel. In this role, you'll work with experienced business experts on cross-functional teams, using cutting-edge technologies to help us provide the best flying experience on Earth.
