Through compassionate, individualized care, a culture focused on compliance and ethics, supportive user‑centric technology, and customized financial solutions, we've helped over 1 million clients on their path to a brighter future.

While we're proud of what we've already accomplished, we're searching for new collaborators to help us get to the next level! If you're looking to join a forward‑thinking, rapidly growing organization with helping people as its number one goal, we want to hear from you.

About The Role

The Business Analytics Associate will conduct analyses focused on optimizing and understanding marketing channel performance, client retention, and lifetime customer value.

What You’ll Do

• Dive into data and processes to understand major operational challenges and opportunities
• Present findings to stakeholders and recommend actionable solutions for non‑analytical partners including Senior Leadership
• Re‑define and challenge company KPIs that are critical to achieving company and business unit goals
• Work closely with the product and operations teams in defining tests and experimental design

What We Look For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in business, STEM, or other analytical field
• Prior experience in Strategy Consulting, Financial Services, or Start‑up environments
• Familiarity with doing analysis in Excel and coding in SQL
• Experience in Python or R is not required but a plus
• Looker or Tableau experience is a plus
• Quick learner; willing to dive in and get her/his hands dirty
• Demonstrated ability to deliver results in a fast‑paced environment
