  • Credit Analysis - Your team is a key partner with our Risk and ML teams to drive insights on credit risk factors for potential customers and help determine data-driven underwriting strategies driving the profitability of the business.

What Sets You Apart

• Customer-centric and data-driven mentality. You care about the user, both internal and external, and build to solve their problems. You aren't satisfied just building dashboards and pulling numbers but get deep into the why, seeking to mine insights out of the data to identify problems and opportunities and make recommendations to the business on how to improve our products and business operations.
• Technical skills. You write your own SQL including familiarity with more advanced functions (ie window functions). You have worked with source controlled repositories like Github before. You understand data modeling concepts and best practices like dimensional modeling and have experience enabling end users with BI/Visualization tooling. While it’s not required, knowledge of Python and data analysis libraries (pandas, numpy) is a plus. Our data stack today primarily features Postgres (production), Fivetran (ETL), Snowflake (Warehouse), DBT (Transformation), and Metabase (BI/Visualization).
• Leadership and Team Management. With rapid growth, we need and expect everyone to be a leader. You have the humility and self-awareness to understand and navigate the unknown. You hold yourself and your team accountable to a high bar and love helping people produce their best work. You enjoy mentoring and growing the skills and careers of others. You identify needs and blockers and advocate for your team.
• Adaptability. We’re a startup and project needs can change quickly. You’re someone that loves to jump into a new problem, learn what’s needed, and solve it. You know how to juggle competing priorities and stakeholders with limited resources to maximize the team's impact.
• Experience - 5+ years of experience as an analyst and 1+ years as a people manager with hiring experience preferred. Bonus points if you have experience with credit/underwriting. Background in either Math, Stats, Economics, or Accounting preferred.
