Company mission
To deliver honest and transparent financial products that improve users' lives.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is as comfortable evaluating and negotiating investment opportunities filled with ambiguity as they are parsing through messy card-network data to deliver crisp insights and business recommendations
- 7+ years in analytics or data science (must have experience in cards, payments, fintech, etc). Bonus points for knowledge of the card transaction lifecycle!
- Fluency in SQL; comfort with Python/R; strong grounding in experimentation
- Knowledge of payments and lending economics
- Experience building analytics for zero-to-one product launches and integrations
- Ability to influence executives and engineers alike with clarity and conviction
- A bias for action—and a knack for automating away the boring stuff
What the job involves
- We are looking for an Analytics Lead to support our Partner Bank Debit Program and other card platform expansion investments
- This role blends hands-on, detailed payment network analytics with cross-functional, client facing partnership work
- Your work will directly lift transaction success, improve economics, and expand Affirm acceptance across online and offline checkout experiences
- Build the core measurement fabric for card expansion launches: launch readiness dashboards, KPI definitions, and scenario analyses used to evaluate partner pilots and scale decisions
- Support RFPs & commercial diligence for potential card issuance partners
- Build opportunity sizings and program investment frameworks that consider opportunity size in light of estimated integration efforts
- Evaluate different card onboarding, checkout and transaction processing flows to improve card acceptance, increase customer adoption and drive customer satisfaction
- Participate in deep technical design discussions within the team, and across partner teams, to ensure that we're building the right systems and keeping the quality high
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to establish metrics frameworks, tie results to OKRs, and drive product strategy
- Build reliable self-serve dashboards and monitoring for card usage, transaction success, dispute rates, and program economics
- Expand Affirm acceptance in digital wallets, leading consumer bank apps, international markets and other new checkout modalities
Our take
Affirm offers point-of-sale loans to consumers, working with merchants like Shopify, KAYAK, and Walmart. Buy now, pay later transactions have grown in popularity in recent years, and this business is tapping into the market with a totally different approach to credit - by delivering the Affirm card, the first US debit card with the option to pay-over-time.
Boasting over 21M consumers and 337,000+ merchants, the company offers flexible payback options, ranging from 3 to 36 months. The interest rates run between 0% and 30%, so, while they are not necessarily the cheapest option, Affirm prides itself on having no fees for late payments, no hidden charges, and total transparency about what people will pay before they take out a loan.
Affirm collects payments from the customers and pays the merchants directly, shouldering the risk itself. The company has boosted its market share, expanding its availability beyond the US to include most of Canada, and continues to launch new features and create new partnerships towards bettering its offering.
