• Expand Affirm acceptance in digital wallets, leading consumer bank apps, international markets and other new checkout modalities

• 10+ years in analytics or data science (ideally cards, payments, or fintech) and 5+ years leading teams. Bonus points for knowledge of the card transaction lifecycle!
• Fluency in SQL; comfort with Python/R; strong grounding in experimentation
• Experience building analytics for zero-to-one product launches and integrations.
