The Operations Data Strategy & Enablement (ODSE) team is seeking highly motivated and curious individuals who are excited to leverage data to improve the operations.

ODSE enables the Operations Analytics organization by providing a unified, modern data foundation that improves data quality, accelerates insights, and empowers faster, smarter decision‑making across the business.

The Co-Op will work closely with analytics professionals in the operation supporting one of the following functions or departments:

Integrated Operations Planning (IOP) – Optimizing aircraft schedule and resource availability to maintain peak on-time performance

• Operations Digital & Decision Science (ODDS) – Developing decision science tools and digital product solutions
• Corporate Safety, Security & Compliance (CSSC) – Supporting the safety and security of the airline and its employees
• Airport Customer Service (ACS) – Improving airport processes and managing performance
• Crew – Improving Pilot and Flight Attendant operations and performance efficiency
• Delta Connection (DC) – Supporting end to end analytics and cross-divisional operational initiatives and improvements for the operation of Delta’s regional airlines
• Flight Operations (FOP) – Managing aircraft and gate to gate operations and performance
• Onboard Services (OBS) – Optimizing process, supply, and inventory of inflight products and services
• In-Flight Services (IFS) – Enhancing customer onboard experience and catering operations and performance
• Operations & Customer Center (OCC) –Ttracking on-time flight metrics, weather, day-of flight analyses
• Central – Managing centralized operations and competitive performance analyses

Though individual responsibilities will vary by supporting division, some functional examples include:

• Analytics engineering - build data pipelines & re-usable patterns (ETL/ELT) that transform raw sources into curated, analysis‑ready datasets
• Data modeling - curate an operations-oriented ontology to build a scalable semantic layer
• Data governance - steward good data management processes & standards (documentation, quality, access control, lineage, catalog)
• Data wrangling - research, analyze, and interpret operational data to solve complex business problems
• Technical data product management - drive "product" mindset for building scalable data solutions that provide business value
• Automated reporting - develop frameworks that enable faster reports & dashboards for insights generation
• Data platform testing - pilot and test out new data platform and tools that may benefit the operations analytics organization
• Data optimization - identify opportunities to enhance operational metrics & processes
