Role Description:
About Us: At Booking.com, data drives our decisions. Technology is at our core. And innovation is everywhere. But our company is more than datasets, lines of code or A/B tests. We’re the thrill of the first night in a new place. The excitement of the next morning. The friends you encounter. The journeys you take. The sights you see. And the memories you make. Through our products, partners and people, we make it easier for everyone to experience the world.
Role Overview
We are hiring a Data Analyst I in Central Technology - ITS to provide operational reporting and insight across IT Service Management (ITSM), IT Operations Management (ITOM), IT Asset Management (ITAM), and IT Procurement. As a Data Analyst you will own the monthly departmental reporting pack for our Leadership Team, making sure it is produced, populated with the right stats and insights, and matured over time so it remains a trusted view of how the department is performing. You will also work closely with process owners, engineering, and other stakeholders on impactful operational problems, translating them into data stories and delivering insights that inform day-to-day decisions and longer-term improvements. You will work with data from sources such as ServiceNow (our primary system of record), Amazon Connect, LogicMonitor, and datasets in Snowflake, surfacing insight through tools such as Tableau and ServiceNow Performance Analytics, reports and dashboards. Alongside operational reporting you will help us monitor the performance of both our human teams and our AI / automated workflows, measuring whether they are meeting their intended purpose and helping us drive value from them.
Data Analysts work on tasks such as reporting, visualization and analysis within the scope of their department. They consult with stakeholders in problem-definition, setting success metrics and shaping the way forward through data insights and effective communication with their audience. Data Analysts I have experience managing stakeholders and can do this largely autonomously (seeking for help in complex scenarios). They prioritize their work for business impact, efficiently adapt to business needs, and manage expectations accordingly. They combine their understanding of the business with the knowledge of data, workflows, methods and tooling to autonomously drive analysis and reporting within the scope of their team. They can adapt existing tooling and approaches based on business and user needs. They collaborate with peers in their craft and follow best practices ensuring data quality and stability.
