A Snapshot

As a Senior Director in the Data Strategy & Market Intelligence team, you will provide leadership & guidance for the data strategy manager and data analysts responsible for building and maintaining Air Trunk's competitive intelligence datasets across APAC and the Middle East. You will own the end-to-end lifecycle of competitor, market, and site data — from collection, validation, and synthesis into decision-ready outputs for our Air Trunk Executive Team stakeholders.

The Market Intelligence team operates strategically across three pillars:

• Data Governance & GIS: "Is our data accurate and reliable?" (The Foundation)
• Market Intelligence & Strategy: "Where is the demand going next?" (The Opportunity) Your Primary Focus
• Policy & Infrastructure: "What are the bottlenecks to building there?" (The Risk)

Key Objectives

Your Day to Day

• Market & Site Data Synthesis: Translate complex qualitative and quantitative datasets into structured formats, dashboards, and visual summaries that provide the Air Trunk Exec team with a clear view of market trends, customer movement, and emerging opportunities.
• AI-Driven Data Solutions: Actively explore and implement AI-powered workflows (Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, etc.) to automate data ingestion, streamline data validation, and optimise retrieval of proprietary information.
• Process Automation: Automate repetitive data tasks, freeing you and your team to focus on strategic analysis, which will in turn enable effective decision-making.
• Cross-Functional Enablement: Work with commercial, energy, land acquisition, development, and government affairs teams to ensure data quality standards are met and outputs are relevant for our Air Trunk business needs.
