Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for a detail-oriented individual with strong analytical skills and an interest in operational efficiency
- Current enrollment in a Bachelor's degree program in Business, Finance, Data Science, Statistics, or a related field
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (e.g., pivot tables, VLOOKUP, charts, and advanced formulas)
- Basic to intermediate knowledge of SQL for querying and manipulating data
- Analytical Skills: Strong ability to interpret data, identify trends, and draw actionable conclusions
- Attention to Detail: High level of accuracy in data handling and analysis
- You have relentlessly high standards - many people may think your standards are unreasonably high. You are continually raising the bar and driving those around you to deliver great results. You make sure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed
- You’re not bound by convention - your success—and much of the fun—lies in developing new ways to do things
- You need action - speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk-taking
- You earn trust - you listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully
- You have backbone; disagree, then commit - you can respectfully challenge decisions when you disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. You have conviction and are tenacious. You do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, you commit wholly
- You deliver results - you focus on the key inputs and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, you rise to the occasion and never settle

Our take
More and more people are looking to "Buy Now Pay Later" (BNPL) solutions to increase their purchasing power. Sezzle is one of a raft of companies offering interest-free payments solutions.
Sezzle was launched with the intention of giving ordinary people more financial agency. The platform offers consumers rapid approval decisions, and loans do not affect their credit score. What's more, users can opt-in to an innovative credit building service. Sezzle has further consolidated its market position by partnering with other companies, including customer service platform Klaviyo.
The prevalence of BNPL solutions has increased hugely in recent years, and Sezzle's main challenge will be competing with rival providers, including Klarna and PayPal. Post IPO, Sezzle experienced a market contraction in 2025 after questions were raised over its business model's sustainability, so it'll be interesting to see how the company responds and continues its growth.
