  • Partner with the Pricing & Profitability team to ensure your value estimates stay consistent with Enova's core lifetime value and return-on-equity models as they evolve
  • Design and analyze experiments (holdouts, geo tests, incrementality studies) that measure whether value-based bidding actually improves acquisition efficiency and portfolio quality
  • Act as a data science partner to the broader Marketing team on channel optimization: budget allocation, audience and segmentation strategy, campaign measurement, and funnel analytics across paid search, paid social, and other digital channels
  • Communicate insights and recommendations to Marketing and Data Science leadership, providing a data-driven perspective on where and how we grow

  • Experience in finance or lending, lifetime value estimation, or unit economics modeling
  • Experience deploying models into production systems or building automated data pipelines
