Client

Our client is a leading airline in Latin America, committed to delivering frictionless passenger experiences and enabling data-driven strategic decisions across all airport operations.

Join a great company, not merely an individual project

Project overview

The Airport Touchpoint domain covers everything a passenger experiences inside the airport—from arrival to departure—as well as all ground operations that support their journey (check-in, kiosks, counters, boarding).

The goal is to deliver a seamless experience, prioritize high-value customers, and enable more efficient operational processes across airports in LATAM.

This role focuses on deep problem discovery (“diamante del problema”), using statistical analysis, ML/NLP, segmentation, and exploratory analytics to uncover insights, identify improvement or value-capture opportunities, and generate strong evidence for prioritizing solutions and informing strategy.

Position overview

We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist to analyze complex airport operational and passenger-experience problems using statistics, segmentation, ML/NLP, and experimental methods.
This role requires autonomy, depth of analytical thinking, strong storytelling, and the ability to influence cross-functional teams. You will work at the intersection of analytics, product, and airport operations to generate insights that guide decisions and accelerate impact.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze complex business and operational problems using statistical modeling, clustering, NLP, and exploratory analytics.
  • Generate actionable insights and evidence to guide strategic prioritization for airport teams.
  • Apply advanced statistical methods: hypothesis testing, inference, and multivariate analysis.
  • Conduct segmentation, clusterization, PCA, embeddings, and other dimensionality reduction techniques.
  • Build lightweight ML and NLP models (topic modeling, classification, semantic grouping).
  • Design experiments and apply causal inference frameworks.
  • Develop reproducible analytical pipelines and datasets using Python + SQL.
  • Create dashboards and visualizations for decision-making (executive-focused).
  • Collaborate with Product, Airport Operations, Data Engineers, and cross-functional squads to guide strategy with data.
  • Promote analytical rigor, documentation, reproducibility, and data-driven decision-making.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in Data Science, Applied Analytics, or related roles.
  • Strong foundations in statistics, hypothesis testing, inference, and multivariate analysis.
  • Experience with segmentation, clustering, PCA, embeddings.
  • Hands-on experience in ML/NLP techniques (topic modeling, classification, semantic analysis).
  • Strong background in experimental design and causal inference.
  • Proficiency in Python (Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, StatsModels) and advanced SQL.
  • Experience building end-to-end ML models and reproducible analytical pipelines.
  • Strong data visualization skills and ability to create decision-oriented dashboards.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling for executive audiences.
  • Ability to influence without authority in cross-functional environments.
  • Experience working in Agile environments.
  • Fluency in Spanish.
  • Good spoken English (for documentation and collaboration).

Nice to have

  • Experience in airport operations or logistics.
  • Familiarity with GCP tools (BigQuery, Dataform, Dataflow, Pub/Sub).
  • Experience scaling analyses and collaborating closely with Data Engineers.
  • Analytical curiosity and deep problem understanding.
  • Experimental and impact-oriented mindset.
  • Autonomy, ownership, and critical thinking.
  • Ability to turn complex findings into actionable recommendations.
  • Clear communication with both technical and non-technical teams
