Turn Data Into Deals

This isn't a back-office analytics role. You'll sit at the intersection of data and strategy, working shoulder-to-shoulder with our Sales team to turn raw numbers into the insights that drive real decisions — who to target, where the opportunity is, and what's actually moving the needle. If you love digging into datasets and want to see your work directly influence how a business wins, this is the seat.

Why You'll Love It Here

• Real influence, real fast. In a high-growth environment, good insights don't sit in a deck — they get acted on.
• A genuinely close-knit team. Think office-sponsored lunches, regular happy hours, and colleagues who actually like each other.
• A seat next to leadership. You'll partner with Technology, Finance, Credit, Operations, and Executive Leadership — not just Sales.
• Room to grow. As data strategy matures here, so does your scope.

What You'll Do

• Partner directly with the Sales team, translating their questions into data-backed answers and strategic recommendations.
• Analyze large datasets to surface trends, performance indicators, and untapped business opportunities.
• Build dashboards and reports (Power BI/Tableau) that put insight directly into decision-makers' hands.
• Support the broader enterprise data strategy: data quality, governance, accessibility, and documentation.
• Maintain data dictionaries, metadata, lineage, and classification frameworks.
• Translate complex findings into clear, actionable business recommendations for technical and non-technical audiences alike.
• Help design and optimize data pipelines, data marts, and analytical models alongside Data Engineering.
• Support data validation, quality checks, and issue resolution.
• Contribute to strategic initiatives spanning risk modeling, portfolio analytics, customer segmentation, and operational automation.
• Help evaluate and implement new data tools, platforms, and vendor solutions.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Business Analytics, Economics, Finance, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in analytics, business intelligence, data strategy, or consulting (financial services or lending experience a strong plus).
• Proficiency in SQL, Excel, and data visualization tools (Power BI, Tableau, or similar).
• Sharp analytical instincts with genuine attention to detail.
• The ability to make data speak plainly — to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
• A curious, outgoing, enterprising personality — someone energized by working closely with a sales team, not just a spreadsheet.
• Bonus points for real estate industry experience or exposure to loan lifecycle data, portfolio analytics, or risk modeling.
• A track record of thriving in fast-moving, high-growth environments.
