JOB SUMMARY
The Data Scientist within Revenue Management Systems will be responsible for building, scaling, and validating the predictive models, forecasting logic, and advanced analytics frameworks that power Norwegian Cruise Line's dynamic pricing and inventory management decisions. This individual contributor role bridges statistical engineering with commercial operations—translating massive datasets, historical transaction curves, and high-intent guest behavioral data into clear, high-yield revenue recommendations.
Working closely with senior leadership, data engineers, and revenue managers, the Data Scientist will write production-grade SQL and Python code to design scalable forecasting algorithms and price elasticity frameworks. The ideal candidate thrives on extracting value from complex database environments (e.g., Snowflake) and converting technical model performance into clear business insights.
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES
- Predictive Model Construction: Design, write, and maintain scalable algorithms and machine learning models for booking curves, price elasticity, cancellation rates, and passenger cabin upgrades (e.g., Plusgrade).
- Data Pipeline & ETL Engineering: Query, clean, aggregate, and manipulate large-scale datasets from disparate corporate ecosystems using Snowflake, SQL, and Python to ensure reliable inputs for quantitative modeling.
- RMS Calibration & Evaluation: Monitor, fine-tune, and analyze baseline calibration thresholds within enterprise Revenue Management Systems (RMS) to reduce forecast variances and automate routine algorithmic workflows.
- A/B Testing & Attribution: Formulate rigorous tracking and measurement frameworks, using statistical methodologies and panel data techniques to validate the exact revenue impacts of tactical promotions and digital pricing optimizations.
- Business Intelligence Support: Architect, deploy, and maintain insightful data visualization dashboards in Power BI or Tableau to translate modeling results and performance metrics into clear stories for commercial stakeholders.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with IT and data engineering teams to operationalize prototypes into robust production systems, while communicating quantitative logic clearly to non-technical business partners.
