Your Contribution to Our Growth

We’re looking for a Data Analyst to join Aquanow’s growing team and help shape the future of data at a leading digital asset infrastructure company. In this high-impact role, you’ll be the go-to person for analytics across the business—mining transaction data, building dashboards, and supporting key reporting needs for teams like compliance, finance, and product. You’ll collaborate closely with our Senior Backend Engineer to turn ad hoc insights into automated, scalable reports that power decision-making across the company.

As the first and only Data Analyst on the team, you’ll have a unique opportunity to build the foundations of our data analytics function and directly influence how we leverage data to drive growth, optimize operations, and enhance the client experience. If you’re analytical, resourceful, and excited to be hands-on in a fast-paced fintech environment, we’d love to meet you!

This is a full-time, permanent position, hybrid out of our Downtown Toronto office in the financial district.

What You’ll Do

• Analyze and interpret complex transaction datasets related to cryptocurrency trading, payments, and B2B2C retail brokerage operations to generate actionable insights that support strategic initiatives.
• Design, develop, and maintain analytics dashboards for stakeholders and clients, delivering real-time data visualizations and business intelligence reports.
• Produce ad-hoc reports to address specific business, compliance or finance enquiries ensuring accuracy and relevance to stakeholder requirements.
• Prototype business and client reporting solutions in collaboration with engineering teams, and streamlining processes for automated report generation.
• Work closely with engineering teams to design and implement self-service analytics tools that empower business users to independently access, analyze, and visualize data.
• Monitor and ensure that client, business, and regulatory reports adhere to established quality standards and deadlines, facilitating timely delivery of critical insights.
• Identify and analyze trends and patterns in data to inform product enhancements and develop strategies for increasing client engagement.
• Present findings and actionable recommendations clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, fostering understanding and supporting data-driven decision-making.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align analytics initiatives with broader business strategies and objectives.

We’d Love to See

• Bachelor's Degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Finance, or a related discipline.
• Demonstrated experience as a Data Analyst, preferably within the fintech industry, with a strong focus on crypto trading, payments, and brokerage services.
• Proficiency in data analysis tools and programming languages such as SQL, Python, and R, along with proficiency in data visualization software (e.g., Tableau, Power BI).
• Strong analytical skills and problem-solving capabilities, with a proven ability to convert complex data into actionable business insights.
• Experience with creating business intelligence reports and ad-hoc analyses tailored to meet diverse client and regulatory requirements.
• Experience working in Agile environments.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including product management, engineering, and support.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present technical information to a non-technical audience in a clear and concise manner.
• A collaborative mindset, with demonstrated experience working alongside engineers and technical teams to develop self-serve analytics solutions.
• Knowledge of cryptocurrency trading, payments, and relevant regulations is a plus.
• Knowledge of data governance and best practices in data management.

At our offices you will find a group of people that embrace diversity and value performance over pedigree.
