Job Summary

Own the design, sizing, and performance of acquisition tests, manage third-party partnerships, optimize channels, monitor live experiments, and communicate results to executives while collaborating across engineering, product, and marketing.

  • Own third-party relationships
  • Partner cross-functionally
  • Communicate strategy and results to executives

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Design and size acquisition tests: Whether that's a new channel, a new customer segment, or a new offer, you'll make the call on how big a swing is worth taking.
  • Analyze credit risk before a launch: Determine what the downside looks like if a test underperforms, and whether that downside is one we can live with while we learn. You'll review the biggest bets with your manager before they go live.
  • Own third-party relationships: Manage the day-to-day operations of our external partnerships.
  • Optimize performance: Work with acquisition partners to keep channels performing, managing everything from placement and pricing to the underlying data terms.
  • Monitor live tests: Track performance in real-time so you catch a test running hot on risk or cold on response before it burns through its budget.
  • Partner cross-functionally: Work alongside engineering, product, and marketing to launch tests with net-new products or capabilities.
  • Communicate with executives: Share your strategy and results directly with senior leadership.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in a highly analytical role.
  • Experience in the financial services industry.
  • A bachelor's or master's degree in economics, finance, engineering, mathematics, or a similarly quantitative field, with a strong academic record.
  • A track record of solving open-ended business problems: framing the question, forming a hypothesis, working through the data, and defending your recommendation to stakeholders.
  • Comfort working in SQL, Python, or similar tools for data analysis.
  • Ability to travel ~4–6+ times per year for high-quality in-person collaboration.

Preferred

  • Experience working with credit cards or other consumer lending products.
  • Experience helping scale a business in a fast-moving startup environment.
  • Strong SQL or Python skills.
  • Experience using AI coding assistants (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, etc.).

Benefits

  • comprehensive benefits plan, which includes paid time off, 401(k) match, a monthly wellness stipend, health/dental/vision insurance options, disability coverage, paid parental leave, flexible spending account (for childcare and healthcare), life insurance, and a remote-first work environment.
