The Opportunity

You’ll combine analytical rigor with business curiosity to identify opportunities, test hypotheses, and make recommendations that have a direct impact on revenue, profitability, and customer outcomes.

How You’ll Make an Impact

Drive data-driven insights and recommendations that inform the strategy, optimization, budgeting, and P&L performance of your business vertical.
-
Monitor daily business performance, including lead volumes, revenue, margins, and other key metrics, and identify opportunities to improve results.
-
Analyze complex data sets to uncover patterns, trends, and opportunities that can improve revenue, customer outcomes, and product performance.

You’ll also work closely with business leaders and senior stakeholders, translating complex analysis into clear recommendations that support strategic and financial decisions.
This is a highly collaborative role with significant autonomy. You’ll be trusted to own analytical projects from initial question through execution, while keeping stakeholders informed and aligned along the way.
What You’ll Bring
-
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Statistics, Business, or a related quantitative field.
-
3+ years of experience in analytics, including using data to develop insights and drive business decisions.
-
Demonstrated experience managing analytics projects from initiation through execution, including prioritization, cross-functional collaboration, and delivery.
-
Strong proficiency in SQL, Python or R, Excel, Tableau or an equivalent data visualization tool, and Snowflake or similar data warehousing technologies.
-
Experience working with large-scale, complex consumer data sets and translating analysis into meaningful business recommendations.
-
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down complex problems and develop practical solutions.
-
Experience communicating analytical findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
-
Experience in consumer financial services analytics, such as credit cards, personal loans, or small business loans, or a strong understanding of financial consumer products and market trends, is highly desirable.
What Will Help You Thrive

Strategic thinking: You can identify the business levers that matter most while balancing the details needed to make sound decisions.
-
Pragmatism: You know when a problem requires deep analysis and when a simpler 80/20 solution will get the job done.
