Hello! We are Volotea, the airline of small and mid-sized cities in Europe.

Ready to use your engineering skills in a fast-paced airline environment—building detailed cost models that shape day-to-day operations? Our Finance Modelling Lab is looking for a data-savvy innovator who can dive into route, maintenance, and flight data, then transform it into advanced Python-based simulations.

As a Finance Modelling Lab Analyst you’ll work hand-in-hand with Operations, and other teams to pinpoint cost drivers at a granular level—fuel, routes, crew, airport fees, and more. 

What you'll do as a Finance Modelling Lab Analyst

1. Build & Refine Cost Models
• Translate operational data (e.g., flight schedules, maintenance logs) into Python-driven models that capture direct costs in real time.
• Experiment with new modeling approaches—like machine learning or scenario testing—and stay one step ahead in identifying cost-saving insights.
2. Dive Deep into Operations
• Partner closely with departments like Maintenance & Engineering, Flight Operations, and Ground Ops. You’ll gather in-depth data, understand how each domain works, and translate it into cost metrics.
• Engage in hands-on discussions with operational staff to spot inefficiencies and propose solutions backed by your modeling findings.
3. Data Analysis & Reporting
• Get your hands dirty pulling data from multiple sources (internal systems, external APIs). Use advanced Python libraries (Pandas, Polars, PySpark ...) for data cleaning and transformation.
• Develop clear, concise reports and dashboards so stakeholders—from engineers to finance managers—can visualize cost trends and make better decisions.
4. Innovate & Automate
• Challenge the status quo by seeking ways to automate manual tasks. Build scripts, create reporting templates, and propose new analytics workflows.
• Collaborate with IT or other data teams to ensure your models integrate seamlessly into existing systems.
5. Learn Airline Finance on the Go
• While deep finance expertise isn’t required, you’ll pick up essential concepts around budgeting, forecasting, and cost accounting as part of your day-to-day work.
• Gain exposure to broader finance processes—like month-end close or cost planning—by showcasing how your operational insights inform financial reporting.

• Curious learners—No finance experience? No problem! If you’re excited about bridging the gap between ops data and business outcomes, we’ll guide you through the finance basics.
• Team players with strong communication—You can chat maintenance schedules with an engineer one minute, then translate those cost impacts for management the next.
• Adaptable and detail-oriented—You’re skilled at juggling multiple tasks, meeting tight deadlines, and refining complex models until you find the best solution.

Why join our Finance Modelling Lab?

1. Meaningful Impact
• Your models will directly influence how we manage day-to-day costs across the airline—fuel, routes, turnaround times, you name it.
• Expect high visibility and real contributions that shape strategy across Operations and Finance.
2. Innovation Culture
• We embrace fresh ideas—got a new library, technique, or approach to glean deeper insights? We want to hear it.
• You’ll have access to training, coding workshops, and close-knit mentorship to keep building your technical and analytical skills.
3. Close Collaboration with Ops
• Get hands-on experience outside the typical finance silo. You’ll meet operations teams on the ground, see how aircraft maintenance impacts costs, and apply that knowledge directly in your models.
4. Growth & Flexibility
• We encourage you to develop your own path—maybe you’ll specialize in route analysis, or possibly you’ll pivot to machine learning cost forecasts. The sky’s the limit here.
• Enjoy a supportive environment with flexible benefits, wellness programs, and team events that keep you inspired.
