Essential Functions:
• Build and maintain predictive models (R or Python) that forecast variable fleet maintenance costs for the remainder of the year and the upcoming year — models must be explainable and show which factors drive cost changes.
• Rapidly update predictions as fleet and operational data change; compare new model results to previous forecasts and load updated figures into Adaptive/Workday.

• Ensure meticulous validation when loading plan and forecast numbers into Adaptive/Workday, confirming accuracy through multiple layers of review.
• Prepare executive-ready summaries and variance analysis for quarterly sign-off presentations.
• Mine large datasets using SQL to surface trends, root causes, and profit-impacting relationships; propose data-driven actions to partners.
• Promote data literacy and the use of decision science across the organization; contribute as a subject matter expert on data and predictive analytics.
• Operate with intellectual curiosity—challenge assumptions, explore anomalies, and pursue continuous improvement opportunities.
Additional Responsibilities:
• Develop ad-hoc analyses and reports requested by leadership.
• Partner with business leaders to design decision-science strategies and analytical models.
• Support transformation initiatives, reporting enhancements, and project management as needed.
Skills & Tools:
• Advanced proficiency in SQL and strong experience with R or Python for statistical modelling.
• Deep financial modelling skills and an ability to explain how business actions impact financial statements.
• Strong Excel capabilities; experience with Adaptive Insights and Workday Financials is a plus.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Proven ability to drive results using data-driven insights and to influence senior stakeholders.
