• Create advanced dashboards and reporting in Tableau, Hex, Power BI, or Qlik Sense for executive visibility and operational monitoring.
• Analyze credit bureau data, market trends, and internal portfolio performance to surface insights that influence underwriting, pricing, and collections strategy.
• Lead analytical projects from scoping through delivery, translating complex questions into structured frameworks and actionable recommendations.
• Modernize legacy data flows, unify batch and streaming sources, and improve data models to support self‑serve analytics and ML initiatives.
• Collaborate with engineering, analytics, product, and finance teams to clarify ambiguous problems, assess risks, and propose scalable solutions.
• Use Python and AI tools to perform advanced exploratory analysis, build predictive insights, and validate statistical outputs.
• Partner with ML and Finance teams to ensure datasets meet the appropriate latency, accuracy, and governance standards.
• Present findings and strategic recommendations to senior leadership, influencing direction and decisions across credit and product lines.
• Mentor analysts and contribute to elevating Spring’s analytical rigor, documentation standards, and data‑driven culture.

Requirements

• Proven experience in data analytics with exposure to credit risk, consumer lending, fintech, banking, or financial‑services analytics.
• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python for analytical workflows, modeling, and exploration.
• Advanced skills in BI tools such as Tableau, Hex, Power BI, or Qlik Sense, with experience creating reports for senior management.
• Experience working with cloud data platforms such as Snowflake and AWS.
• Strong understanding of data modeling, schema evolution, and how pipeline design impacts downstream analytics.
• Ability to independently lead cross‑functional initiatives and align analytical work with business value.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to present insights clearly to senior stakeholders.
• Comfort using AI tools to accelerate analysis, forecasting, segmentation, and hypothesis generation with appropriate validation.
• Experience partnering with data engineering, BI engineering, and product teams on data requirements, pipeline improvements, and quality assurance.
• Experience documenting dashboards, metric definitions, and analytical logic to support transparency and adoption.

What We Will Give You

• Competitive annual salary ranging from $81,500-$107,500, reflective of experience and impact.
• Comprehensive benefits package, including extended health, dental, and vision coverage — with 100% of monthly premiums covered by the Spring.
