About The Position

We’re looking for talented professionals to join us in bringing smart money management and payment solutions to everyone’s fingertips. This position is classified as structured hybrid, with an expectation of a minimum of three (3) days per week working in the office and flexibility to work remotely on the remaining days. On-site expectations may evolve over time to support business needs, with clear communication provided in advance. This position is open only to candidates who can work in one of the following approved locations: Los Angeles (West LA office); San Francisco (SoMa office); Tampa, FL (Westshore District office); Birmingham, AL (Downtown office). We are seeking a results-driven Business Analytics professional to serve as the dedicated, end-to-end analytics owner for a specific business area — Product, Finance, Servicing Operations, Regulatory/Compliance, Fraud, or Marketing — within our Analytics & Insights team. In this role, you will own the full analytics lifecycle, from building data pipelines and writing structured SQL queries in AWS Redshift, to developing compelling Tableau dashboards and automated reports that surface key insights for our BaaS partners. You'll translate complex business questions into clear, actionable analytical frameworks, delivering findings in a way that resonates with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. As you build deep subject-matter expertise in your assigned business area's data and metrics, you'll become the team's trusted go-to resource, proactively identifying analytical opportunities and data gaps while driving solutions independently. Success in this role requires strong cross-functional partnership across revenue, product, operations, and engineering teams, a commitment to data quality through rigorous documentation and QA, and personal accountability to delivery timelines and stakeholder commitments — all in service of turning data into a strategic advantage for Green Dot's partners.
