As Senior Analytics Manager, you’ll lead a team of analysts, standardize analytics processes, and ensure our data drives high-impact business decisions across product, finance, operations, and beyond.

This role is central to shaping how we measure, understand, and optimize our business performance. You’ll partner with business leaders and the Data Platform team to deliver reliable insights, scalable processes, and actionable analytics that empower decision-making across the company.

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 14–20 analysts, building skills in SQL, BI tools, experimentation, and storytelling.

• Standardize analytics workflows, documentation, and QA to ensure reliability and scalability.
• Partner with stakeholders across Finance, Product, Operations, and Credit to prioritize analytics efforts that maximize business impact.
• Collaborate with the Data Platform and Analytics Engineering teams to maintain a stable, accessible, and well-documented analytics layer.
• Advocate for tools, processes, and practices that enhance analytics efficiency and data-driven decision-making.

• Proven experience leading analytics teams and delivering actionable insights in a fast-paced environment.
• Deep expertise in analytics tools and workflows (dbt, Looker/Omni, Snowflake, or similar).
• Strong strategic thinking: able to prioritize high-value initiatives and drive continuous improvement.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, bridging technical and business audiences.
• Empathetic, growth-oriented leadership that inspires and develops talent.

Our vision is to build a new financial ecosystem where everyone can participate on equal footing and access the tools they need to be financially healthy. We strongly believe that inclusion fosters innovation and we’re proud to have a diverse global team that represents a multitude of backgrounds, cultures, and experience. We hire talented people regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
