About The Position

We're looking for a sharp, execution-oriented strategist to join our Growth team and help drive performance across consumer lending originations. This is a high-impact individual contributor role sitting at the intersection of strategy and operations — you'll own the analysis, shape the roadmap, and roll up your sleeves to make things happen. You'll work directly with the Head of Growth and partner closely with Marketing, Engineering, and Credit/Risk to identify growth opportunities, optimize acquisition channels, and build the operational infrastructure that lets our originations scale. If you thrive in a lean environment where you write the playbook as you go, this role is for you.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or Finance.
2–4 years of experience in strategy, operations, management consulting, investment banking, or a high-growth fintech/startup environment
Demonstrated track record of owning cross-functional projects from analysis through execution
Experience translating business problems into functional requirements, user stories, or product specs for an engineering or development team
Strong SQL skills — you're comfortable writing queries to answer your own questions without waiting on a data team
Experience with BI tools (Looker, Tableau, or equivalent); able to build and maintain dashboards independently
Hands-on familiarity with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) for research, drafting, and analysis — you use these daily, not occasionally
Outstanding written and verbal communication; able to distill complex analysis into crisp, decision-ready outputs
Comfortable operating in ambiguity — you don't wait for the perfect brief to get started
Bias toward action; you ship, learn, and iterate rather than over-engineering upfront
Naturally curious about the numbers and willing to dig until you have an answer you trust
Collaborative and low-ego — you give credit, ask for help, and make the team around you better
Actively experiments with AI tools to work faster and smarter — you view them as force multipliers, not gimmicks

Nice To Haves

Background in financial services, consumer lending, or a closely adjacent industry preferred
Prior experience in consumer lending originations, underwriting, or direct marketing
Familiarity with origination platforms and/or call center operations
Experience building or contributing to analytics infrastructure (data pipelines, reporting schemas)
Exposure to A/B testing methodology and experiment design
