Role
Who you are

- You are eager to learn, quick to communicate, and are comfortable taking on the unknown
- Bachelor's or Master's in business, computer science, data science, or a STEM field
- 1-4+ years of data analysis experience
- Highly analytical with proficiency in SQL. Familiarity with Python or R is a plus
- Strong attention to detail

- You're comfortable with ambiguity and can make progress even when things aren't perfectly defined
- You're curious, analytical, and pragmatic - someone who can "get sh!t done"
- You get excited about building the business as a whole, not just shipping features in isolation
- You care about customers and use that empathy to drive your analysis
- If you are a highly motivated and detail-oriented individual with a passion for data and product management, we encourage you to apply for this position
- We believe that a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences helps us create the most innovative solutions for our customers
- We invite you to apply to our positions even if you do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed in the description. If you’re passionate about our mission and aligned to our values, we hope you’ll come contribute to our awesome culture
What the job involves
- As a Product Analyst on the Credit Card team, you'll dig into data to find opportunities that matter for our customers and Avant's business
- You'll work on strategic initiatives that shape where our credit card product is headed, partnering with PMs, engineers, designers, and stakeholders across the company to turn insights into real product features
- This role sits at the heart of some of our biggest bets as a company
- Communication: Build relationships with product managers, engineers, and business stakeholders to build cross-functional trust and awareness. Understand how different audiences may require different framing when explaining technical details
- Business Intelligence: Support the team’s data needs by developing a deep understanding of the data model, tracking KPIs, and executing requests for ad hoc analysis
- Strategic Impact: Develop subject matter expertise in your area of responsibility. Proactively identify and communicate opportunities for improvement using data-driven insights
- Drive the Product Development Lifecycle:
- Identify and prioritize business opportunities through data analysis
- Translate opportunities into product requirements
- Work with technical teams through implementation and testing
- Measure feature effectiveness and iterate
- Leadership and Management: Help manage high-priority, high-value projects, and, after proven performance, manage individuals and teams or specialize further in areas of interest
Our take
Many Americans with below average credit scores are caught in a bind: they're unable to improve their score, and simultaneously cannot access traditional loans. Avant's alternative is to offer credit options that are powered by machine learning and based upon a large database that helps to manage risk.
For its users, the company offers a quick credit decision and speedy access to any allotted funds. It has issued over $8 billion in loans to date, and has also expanded its business through the acquisitions of ReadyForZero in 2015 and Zero Financial in 2021.
This expansion has enabled Avant to reach towards its goal of offering a whole suite of products in a single platform, such as loans, credit cards, and deposits. Although there are many FinTechs looking at ways to remove the barriers that people with low credit scores face when trying to take out loans, this expansion to banking products should help Avant to stand out.
