About The Position

We are seeking a Data Analyst to elevate our analytics capabilities, strengthen core reporting, and help design and operationalize AI-augmented analytics that improve how we understand partner and merchant behavior and outcomes. As a Data Analyst in SMB Payments, you will play a pivotal role in identifying key metrics, building durable reporting, and conducting comprehensive analyses to inform business strategies.

The JPMorganChase SMB Payments Analytics team is dedicated to cultivating a data-driven culture and empowering fact-based decision-making. Our Business Analytics division champions this mission by delivering data, insights, and scalable reporting—while also accelerating the integration of modern analytics techniques, including LLM/GenAI-enabled insights, into everyday decisioning.

Partner with Product and commercial teams to size opportunities, monitor funnel performance, and measure outcomes of upsell/cross-sell initiatives.
Apply LLMs and modern AI techniques to augment analytics workflows (e.g., summarization, topic modeling/classification, semantic search, insight extraction) and reduce time-to-insight.
Help design and run LLM evaluation and monitoring (quality, robustness, latency, cost) and contribute to improving prompts, retrieval approaches, and end-to-end performance.
