Our powerhouse of products – spending, exchanging, saving, investing, and more - are used already by 2M+ customers in the Americas, and this is your opportunity to be a crucial part of that transformation. Join a team of top talent from the world’s leading fintech and tech companies, and help build a cross-border financial system that’s modern, accessible, and built to scale.

The Role

Are you curious about how things work and motivated by uncovering insights hidden in data?

As a Data Analyst at ARQ, you’ll help us understand our business, customers, and operations through rigorous analysis and thoughtful storytelling. You’ll explore data, detect patterns, and build the foundations for decisions that shape the future of our products and company.

This is a role for someone early in their analytics career who wants to grow — learning how data drives product, financial, and strategic decisions in a fast-paced fintech environment.

• Explore and Analyze Data: Investigate user behavior, performance trends, and key metrics to uncover what’s driving changes.
• Identify Anomalies and Opportunities: Spot unusual patterns or spikes and help the team understand their root causes.
• Reporting & Automation: Build and maintain dashboards and automated reports that make data accessible and reliable.
• Decision Support: Translate analytical findings into clear recommendations for product and operational improvements.
• Metric Design: Help define and refine the KPIs that matter most for our business and customer experience.
• Documentation: Keep analyses, methodologies, and assumptions well-documented and reproducible.
• Modeling & Experimentation: Contribute to basic modeling tasks and structured experiments under guidance from senior analysts or data scientists.
• Continuous Learning: Expand your analytical toolkit and develop product sense through real-world problem solving and mentorship.

What you'll need

• 1–3 years of experience in analytics, data, or operations (internships count)
• Strong SQL skills for querying and exploring datasets
• Analytical curiosity and a structured approach to problem solving
• Good communication skills — able to explain insights clearly and visually
• Initiative to automate repetitive tasks and improve reporting workflows
• Interest in fintech, data-driven decision-making, and machine learning concepts
• (Bonus) Familiarity with Python for basic data manipulation
• (Bonus) Spanish/Portuguese proficiency for internal and external communications

Nice to have

• Understanding of key business metrics and experimentation principles
• Exposure to fraud, financial, or product analytics (any domain welcome)
