- Own consolidated reporting across Top of Funnel, Conversion, Users, Volume, and Loan Mix; synthesize key drivers including mix, credit, pricing, and commercial impacts
- Provide decision support on strategic initiatives, evaluating trade-offs and P&L implications to inform business and investment decisions
- Translate complex analyses into clear, executive-ready narratives that drive insight, inform strategy, and align cross-functional stakeholders
What we look for

- Strong business judgment, with the ability to connect detailed analyses to broader strategic context and executive-level decisions
- Experience partnering with senior stakeholders and influencing decisions across cross-functional teams
- Expert in financial modeling; working knowledge of SQL and experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Sigma or similar) preferred
