What the job involves
- Pinwheel is looking for an Analytics Manager who will serve as a strategic partner across Product, Engineering, Design (EPD), and Go-to-Market (GTM) teams
- This role goes beyond dashboards—it’s about proactively driving insights, surfacing high-impact opportunities, and shaping product and business strategy
- You’ll help Pinwheel understand not just what is happening in our products, but why, by combining quantitative and qualitative signals, and business context to guide decisions across the organization
- You’ll play a critical role in influencing roadmap priorities, shaping customer best practices, and empowering our teams with clear, actionable insights
- Own analytics across Pinwheel’s product suite, focusing on conversion optimization and understanding customer and platform-level implementation patterns that drive success
- Proactively identify trends, opportunities, and anomalies in product metrics—not just answering data questions; asking better ones
- Develop metrics frameworks and KPI dashboards to monitor product performance, conversion funnels, and integration health across hundreds of partners
- Partner with EPD and GTM teams to translate insights into action, informing product improvements and go-to-market narratives
- Build a deep understanding of customer segments, product placement, and configuration performance to inform best practices for our partners and customers
- Enable Sales and Marketing with case studies and metrics that highlight success factors across high-performing customers and integrations
- Partner with Engineering and Data teams to ensure proper instrumentation, metric definitions, and data model design
- Develop a system to ingest and synthesize qualitative feedback (e.g. Gong calls, Slack feedback, user surveys, and interviews) into unified insights about product opportunities
Our take
Pinwheel builds an API that helps Neobanks access and modify their customers' payroll services. It's primarily focused on enabling easy direct-deposit switches in order to promote a fairer financial system for all.
Pinwheel is laser-focused on perfecting UX and product integration in this area, which has won the company coverage of over 70% of paid Americans, and nearly half of all Neobank direct-deposit switches. This secure market position will help it comfortably expand its client services into other API offerings like income verification.
As the US begins to competitively adopt the Open Banking methods already popular in the EU, Pinwheel has made some strategic partnerships, including Lumin Digital and Bankjoy. These collaborations are driving increased account activation and deposit growth for financial institutions, positioning Pinwheel as a key player in Open Banking methods.
