About the Role:
We're looking for a Senior Analyst to join our Client Insights team and play a key role in how we use data to protect and empower our merchant partners.

- Partner with Merchant Success to build analyses that demonstrate ROI, justify expansion, and support renewal conversations
- Interact with merchants and potential merchants to understand reporting needs, designing and delivering dashboards and performance reports
- Analyze product data and work with the product and engineering teams to drive product improvements and help build the product roadmap
- Partner cross-functionally with the Risk and Data (RAD) team to help inform new fraud analysis and translate that analysis into easy-to-understand reporting and products; stay current on model and product changes, and translate those changes into merchant-facing insights
What We're Looking For:
- 4-7 years of experience in a business analytics, business intelligence, or TAM role
- Understanding of consumer brands, ecommerce, and important metrics and benchmarks in the industry; ideally you have used data and analysis to drive business decisions at an ecommerce company / consumer brand

- Experience with SQL — you're comfortable querying large datasets, writing clean, efficient code, and understanding optimal data modeling
- Experience with Snowflake
- Familiarity with Tableau
- Understanding of how to use AI to drive process improvement and drive efficiency across the organization
- Strong communication skills — you can explain data clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
- A self-starter mindset: you ask good questions, dig into problems independently, and know when to loop others in
