This high impact, highly visible role sits on the Revenue Finance group, a scrappy, tight-knit team with outsized cross-functional impact and ownership. We help set the company-wide targets, provide forecasts and real time analytics to executives and business leaders, and partner cross functionally to evaluate strategic business and product decisions.

• Passion and drive to disrupt the lending and financial industry for the better
• Strong sense of ownership, intellectual curiosity and an ability to think creatively and critically and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic, and often ambiguous work environment
• Excellent communicators who seek out the opportunity - and accountability - that comes with being front and center with company executives
• High attention to detail but an equally important ability to see the big picture and evaluate analyses with strategic business context
• 5+ years experience in fast-paced analytical roles (investment banking, consulting, data science, analytics, etc.)
• Excellent excel ability (you should be prepared for a financial model case study)
• Experience and proficiency in SQL, Python or an interest to learn; Experience using Looker or similar BI tool a plus
