Yield and Analytics helps partners, including hotels, vacation rentals, airlines, destination marketing organizations and more, deliver excellent traveler and B2B experiences. We drive growth for our partners and the Expedia Group marketplace through competitive supply and our leading advertising and travel media network. 

The Competitive Intelligence team uses data, statistical analysis and clear storytelling to help Expedia Group understand market dynamics, competitor activity and opportunities in travel advertising.

Make an Impact

• Extract, structure and combine data from multiple sources to support analysis and model development. 

• Apply descriptive statistics, probability and basic statistical methods to investigate business questions, with guidance from your manager and senior teammates.

• Perform data quality checks, document analytical code and participate in peer reviews to help ensure reliable results. 

• Collaborate transparently with stakeholders and analytics teammates to gather information, learn the business domain and unblock data questions. 

Experience and Qualifications 

• You have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in mathematics, statistics, data science, computer science, economics, or related technical field; or equivalent related professional experience. 

• You have demonstrated experience using data in a previous role, academic project or personal project to create dashboards, reports or a data science product that provides useful insights. 

• You have beginner-level experience using SQL, Python, R or a similar language for data analysis, including filtering, joining, transforming and summarizing data. 

• You understand the fundamentals of descriptive statistics, probability, regression and measurement, and can apply them to business questions with support. 

• You can communicate analytical approaches and findings clearly to both technical and non-technical partners, using concise written and verbal storytelling.
