• AB Testing & Benchmarking: Conduct experiments and performance benchmarking to drive evidence-based changes.

• Analytical Tool Development: Create and improve tools to make data easily accessible for stakeholders.

• Financial Analysis: Dive into transactional data for financial insights.

• Pipeline Design: Build and maintain robust data pipelines to gather and process transaction data from payment systems.

We're Looking for:

• Proactive Ownership: Someone who wants to understand the full context of our business, proactively identifies opportunities for gains and optimizations, and doesn't wait to be told what to analyze next.

• Experience: Proven experience in data analysis, ideally in payments, banking, or related industries.

• Technical Skills:

  • Experience with SQL (e.g., PostgreSQL)

  • Knowledge of database structures and optimization.

  • Proficiency in data analysis & visualization tools like Metabase, Looker, PowerBI or similar.

  • Experience in building analytical toolsets.

  • Ability to design and manage data pipelines for smooth data flow (nice to have). 

  • Experience with Python (nice to have).

• Analytical Mindset: Ability to turn complex data into clear, actionable insights.

• Problem Solver: Eager to tackle challenges and make meaningful contributions.

• Team Player: Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams and translating technical data for non-technical stakeholders.

• Adaptability: Ability to maintain productivity in a fast-changing environment.
