sunsail, the moorings & leopard catamarans

At The Moorings and Sunsail (part of Travelopia), we plan and deliver fantastic yacht charters across the world. We have an abiding passion for sailing, taking yachting holidays to the next level across the most spectacular destinations worldwide which keep our customers coming back again and again!

The secret to our success within the yacht industry lies in our exceptional teams, we are united by the same purpose, to have fun while creating extraordinary experiences on the water.

We are looking to hire a Commercial Data Analyst to join our team. Reporting to VP of Commercial, you will be the data and analytics engine of the commercial team — building the datasets, analyses, dashboards and AI-driven insights that underpin our pricing and trading decisions.

You do not need prior commercial or pricing expertise; the VP and Head of Commercial Analytics & Trading will provide the commercial context and direction. What matters is that you are an exceptional, AI-curious data analyst who delivers fast, accurate and trustworthy insights, turning complex data into decisions with confidence.

What we’ll offer:

• Competitive base salary (R500,000-R700,000 per annum)
• Flexible working arrangements – hybrid (typically two days in our Cape Town office) or remote
• Comprehensive health benefits
• Retirement savings plan with company contributions
• Generous paid time off allowance and birthday day off
• Parental leave and family-supportive policies
• Charity or volunteering time off
• Group-wide travel discounts

What you’ll do:

Data, Analytics & AI

• Build and automate the analyses, dashboards and reporting that power the commercial team, using AI (Claude) to deliver high-quality outputs at speed.
• Transform complex fleet, booking, pricing, owner and competitor data into clean, reliable datasets.
• Ensure the accuracy and integrity of commercial data by supporting reconciliation and validation across Radar and Power BI.
• Continuously identify opportunities to automate reporting, improve data quality and accelerate analysis using AI and modern analytics tools.

Commercial Analytics Support

• Build and maintain the data and analytics that underpin the competitor pricing and promotions benchmarking engine.
• Develop analytics to support ancillary pricing decisions, including Damage Waiver, Skippered and Crewed Charters, Provisioning & Beverages, Early Booking and Inclusions.
• Build owner fleet analytics, including booking and cancellation patterns, to help optimise owner privileges while maximising paid occupancy.
• Support fleet utilisation analysis, including charter-length optimisation, capacity-gap modelling and Mediterranean vs. Caribbean deployment.

What you’ll bring:

• Outstanding data and analytics skills — SQL, advanced Excel and strong BI (Power BI, Radar, Tableau or Looker), with a relentless focus on data quality and accuracy.
• Genuine enthusiasm for AI, with hands-on experience using AI tools to accelerate analysis and improve insights.
• Highly analytical, intellectually curious, fast-learning, and rigorous in your approach.

Preferred

• Experience with Python and/or DAX, and exposure to BigQuery or other cloud data warehouses.
• Background in Finance, FP&A, consulting or other analytical roles.
• Experience working with travel, airline or OTA data.

Not required

• Commercial or pricing domain knowledge — we'll teach you the business context.

We believe people perform best when they can be their true selves and diverse teams drive better results. We’re committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment where everyone can succeed.
