  • Use data to solve complex business problems across profitability, marketing, and operations.
  • Provide strategic insights to senior leadership and contribute to cross-functional projects.

What You'll Bring

  • A numerate degree (BSc, BCom, B Bus Sci, B Eng.).
  • 2+ years in credit risk analysis, ideally across fintech, lending, or insurance.
  • Advanced skills in SQL, Excel, PowerBI; Python, R, Snowflake or SAS a plus.
  • Proven ability to build models, interpret data, and influence decision-making.
  • Experience working in agile, multi-disciplinary teams.

What We Value

  • Customer obsession and curiosity.
  • Accountability and ownership.
  • Insight-led thinking and timely execution.
  • Team spirit, inclusivity, and a sense of fun.
