We're accelerating Jetstar's data‐driven transformation and looking for a hands‐on leader to build the capabilities that power faster, sharper commercial decisions.

* Hands‐on experience with modern cloud data platforms, data catalogues and transformation frameworks
* Experience evaluating and deploying AI/ML solutions beyond proof‐of‐concept, including emerging agentic AI capabilities
* The ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business language for senior commercial audiences, and translate commercial problems back into technical specifications
* A track record of driving technology adoption and building data literacy across non‐technical populations
* Experience leading and developing technical teams, ideally in matrix structures
