About the role
Business Analysts (BAs) form the backbone of our strategic decision-making as a company, and in order to realize our potential, we must make the right decisions at the right time. The nature of these decisions are wide-ranging, ranging from product to risk to data. As a BA, your mission will be to own a particular area of the business and be accountable for its performance, and as an owner you will be the central node that connects all of our different functions together: data, product, tech, collections, legal, etc. The buck stops with you
BAs are experts in data-driven decision making and cross-team collaboration, and constantly think of new ways to improve the status quo, whether or not it is related to their direct area of accountability. We expect you to not only drive initiatives, but to also be an end-to-end owner
You will report directly to our Head of Portfolio Management within the broader Risk team. You will be part of a critical part of scaling our analytics capabilities, and in turn scaling our business and fulfilling our long-term strategic objectives.
