Our mission is simple: give people the tools they need to build freedom through short-term rentals.

The Role
We're looking for a Strategy & Planning (S&P) Analyst to serve as the foundational data architect within our S&P function. Partnering closely with the S&P Associate as well as CFO, you'll build a unified, comprehensive data ecosystem across AirDNA auditing, consolidating, and enriching the company's core data tables to deliver a holistic view of business performance. Please note that this role requires candidates to be in Latin America.
This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape how an entire company sees and uses its data. You'll work cross-functionally with Growth, Finance, Marketing, and Customer Support, leveraging SQL, BI tools, and automation to turn fragmented data into a single source of truth that drives executive decision-making.
Here's what you'll get to do:
- Audit and map all existing data tables across Finance, Growth, Marketing, and Customer Support.
- Design and build a unified master table architecture that consolidates cross-functional data into a single source of truth.
- Create executive dashboards in Sigma or similar BI tools to surface real-time KPIs for leadership.
- Deliver ad-hoc analyses for the S&P Associate and CFO, synthesizing data from multiple sources into actionable recommendations.
- Automate reporting workflows using SQL, Python, AI-based tools, or BI-native scheduling to reduce manual work.
- Ensure data quality and governance by reconciling discrepancies across systems and enforcing consistency.
- Document all processes including data lineage, transformation logic, and dashboard guides in Confluence.
- Partner cross-functionally with Growth, Finance, Marketing, and Customer Support to understand KPI priorities and close data gaps.
Here's what you'll need to be successful:
- 2+ years of experience in a data-driven, analytical role (e.g., strategy, consulting, business intelligence).
- Strong SQL proficiency (complex queries, joins, window functions, CTEs) across databases like Snowflake, PostgreSQL, or Redshift.
- Experience using Hex, Sigma, Power BI or similar. Advanced Excel/Sheets skills are a given.
- Automation mindset: familiarity with ETL concepts (dbt, Airflow, Fivetran) or AI-based tooling (Claude, Zapier) is a plus.
- Builder’s mentality: a self-starter energized by ambiguity and the chance to architect something from the ground up.
- Sharp communicator who translates complex data into clear insights for non-technical stakeholders.
- Collaborative and low-ego: you build trust quickly across teams and thrive working cross-functionally.
- Accountable and adaptable: you take ownership, meet deadlines, and reprioritize fast in a high-growth environment.
- Hungry to grow: coachable, curious, and excited to scale AirDNA through better data.
- Bonus points for Amplitude, Stripe, or HubSpot experience.
Here's what you can expect from us:
- Full time indefinite contract
- 25 holidays per year
- Continuing education stipend
- Paid parental leave
- Work at the intersection of data, technology, and travel in a high-growth company.
- Build something from scratch. This role is a greenfield opportunity to design AirDNA's data infrastructure.
- High visibility: work closely with the S&P Associate, CFO, and CEO to influence company strategy.
- Collaborate with a passionate and driven team that values ownership and impact.
- A culture that rewards initiative, curiosity, and a Get Stuff Done mentality
