Company mission
To help people pay for the things that matter most.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience spanning analytics engineering and data science/analyst work
- Strong SQL and hands-on experience with dbt and Snowflake (or equivalent modern data stack)
- Experience with BI tools (Sigma, Tableau, Mode, Looker, etc.) and building dashboards that non-technical stakeholders use
- Track record designing and analyzing experiments (A/B tests or quasi-experimental methods) to drive product decisions
- Being comfortable partnering with technical and non technical stakeholders
- Comfort with credit, risk, or fintech data, as well as curiosity about how consumers manage their finances, is a plus
What the job involves
- Flex is expanding to offer a consumer bill management platform: a hub where users manage both recurring and one-off bills, align payments with their cash flow, and build credit along the way. As we move from a pilot to broader GTM, we're looking for someone who can operate as both the builder of our data foundation and the analyst who turns that data into decisions
- This role will work closely with both business leadership and the core data team to focus on modeling data, digging into consumer behavior, pricing and credit dynamics, and setting the standards the rest of the team builds on
- Build and maintain the core data models (dbt/Snowflake) that power reporting, experimentation, and ML/credit risk use cases
- Analyze consumer bill payment behavior timing, splitting, delinquency, credit-building outcomes to identify what's working in the pilot and what needs to change
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering to instrument new features (e.g. bill splitting, smart scheduling, credit-building) so we can measure adoption and impact from day one
- Design and analyze experiments that test pricing, credit terms, and product flows, establishing causal links between changes and outcomes
- Create dashboards and self-serve tools that let Product, Risk, and GTM teams track Control Center's pilot-to-scale metrics without needing to come back to Analytics for every question
- Champion data quality, consistent terminology, and documentation as data footprint grows from pilot to full launch
- Set technical direction for how Control Center's data models and pipelines scale as new billers, partners, and product surfaces come online; mentor other analysts/engineers and raise the technical bar across the team
Our take
Many people struggle to pay their rent every month, with a variety of bills hitting their bank accounts simultaneously. Whilst many of these people earn enough money to cover their bills, the inflexible nature of monthly bills can make the all-in-one payment a harder obstacle.
Flex provides a mobile application for the flexible payment of rent, allowing users to pay their landlords through flexible payment plans, reschedule payments when necessary, and protect their funds through Overdraft Protection. The company achieves this by partnering with estate agents and paying their resident's bills upfront, taking on the challenges that landlords would normally have due to late payments.
Flex has experienced extremely rapid growth since its founding which has caused some issues, as it struggled to keep up with the surge in new customers. Having made improvements to its product and scaled its customer service team, it is set to continue providing a service that has come to be highly valued by both tenants and landlords.
