About this role:

As a Data Analyst you will be a key member of Borrowell’s Data Analytics Team. Your role will be pivotal in informing new marketing and product initiatives and powering the recommendations we personalize to each of our 3+ million members.

We are remote-first across Canada with an office in Toronto. This role requires you to attend in-person meetings and team-building events. While this role is remote, we are currently only able to hire candidates physically located in Ontario, BC, or Alberta.

At Borrowell, one of our core values and firm beliefs is that diversity makes us better. If you’re unsure about your qualifications for this position we’d still encourage you to apply. We’re looking for candidates who have experience but know that not everyone’s had a chance to demonstrate what they can do. What’s most important is that you have a growth mindset and care about helping people with their finances – an area in their lives that causes a lot of stress.

Please note that due to the sensitive nature of the work we do, clearing a credit and criminal record check is a condition of employment.

By submitting your application, you consent to Borrowell’s use and processing of your personal information in connection with your job application at Borrowell and its recruitment processes.

Borrowell encourages applications from candidates with differing abilities. Please let us know if you require accommodation at any stage in the selection process.

This posting represents a current and active vacancy within our organization.

The budgeted annual salary range for this role is $75,000 – $125,000 CAD. Starting pay is determined by the candidate’s relevant experience and skills. In addition to base salary, this role is eligible for Borrowell’s full benefits package.
