About the Revenue team 

The Revenue team drives Affirm’s top-line growth through strategic partnerships, pricing, and go-to-market execution. We acquire, retain, and expand merchant relationships across eCommerce, in-store, telesales, and the Affirm app. The team leads onboarding, relationship management, and performance optimization to help partners succeed.

  • Provide project and analytics guidance to a cross-functional team, acting as the analytics point of contact.

  • Propose, monitor, and contextualize experiment design and execution to drive optimizations of Affirm’s GTM efforts, empirically quantify the value of Affirm to our prospective merchants, and upsell enhanced offers to existing merchants.

  • Strong working knowledge of SQL, data visualization tools (e.g. Sigma, Looker, Tableau). Understanding or a demonstrated aptitude to learn Python is a plus.

  • Self-starter and a track record of successfully driving projects from end to end (from building strategy to implementation).

  • Passion and drive to disrupt both the retail and lending industry for the better.

  • Enough laziness to find a faster way to do your least favorite tasks.
