  • Conduct proactive deep-dive analyses to uncover revenue-driving insights, conversion optimizations, and efficiency improvements.
  • Monitor partner performance trends and provide regular insights to leadership, flagging data discrepancies and business risks before they impact results.
  • Develop and maintain performance dashboards and reporting tools that surface key trends in real-time.
  • Work with business leaders to define and refine key success metrics, ensuring alignment between data insights and company goals.
  • Collaborate with data engineering to ensure data accuracy and integrity across all reporting functions.
  • Proactively identify data gaps and inconsistencies, working cross-functionally to enhance data quality and analytical depth.
  • Present insights and recommendations to executive leadership in a clear, compelling manner that drives business action.

Education and Experience:

  • BA/BS in Business, Economics, Data Science, Finance, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in analytics, business intelligence, or a strategic finance role, ideally in a partnerships, marketplace, or commercial strategy function.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience with relational databases.
  • Experience working with data visualization tools (Looker, Tableau, Sigma, etc.).
  • Strong knowledge of financial and operational metrics within partnerships, marketplaces, or revenue-generating teams.
  • Experience working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, ideally within fintech, e-commerce, or B2B/B2C marketplaces.

Must Have:

  • Strong commercial mindset—ability to connect data insights with real business impact.
  • Proactive, independent thinker who doesn’t just analyze but questions and optimizes.
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity, prioritizing effectively, and driving clarity through data.
  • Ability to tell a story with data—strong communication and presentation skills.
  • A relentless focus on accuracy, attention to detail, and problem-solving.
  • Passion for partnerships and marketplace dynamics, with a natural curiosity to explore new growth levers.

This role is ideal for a data-driven strategist who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys connecting analytical rigor with business success.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
