In this role, you'll partner closely with Product, Risk and Fraud teams to drive insights that shape data product development, mitigate financial risk, and enhance fraud detection strategies. You’ll support a wide range of analytical initiatives—from powering client-facing dashboards and product metrics to deep-diving into risk signals and anomaly detection.

This is a high-impact, cross-functional role ideal for an analytically-minded individual who’s excited by the intersection of fintech data, product development, and operational risk.

• Develop and maintain reporting dashboards, data visualizations, and performance metrics for internal stakeholders and clients.
• Write and optimize queries to extract and transform data from complex financial datasets (e.g., card transactions, auth logs, fraud signals).
• Help design and validate data models and sources of truth for product usage, customer health, and operational performance.
• Investigate trends, anomalies, or escalations in product usage, fraud activity, or partner performance.
• Document analytical workflows and contribute to a culture of analytical rigor, data quality, and reproducibility.

Minimum Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in a data analyst or similar role, ideally in fintech, risk/fraud analytics, or B2B SaaS environments.
• Proficiency in SQL and experience analyzing large, complex datasets.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to present findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience building dashboards or reports using BI tools such as Looker, Tableau, or Mode.
• Analytical thinker with a detail-oriented mindset and a passion for finding patterns in data.

• Experience working with product teams or supporting product development cycles with data.
  Exposure to fraud modeling, risk scoring, or anomaly detection techniques.
