Job description

We are seeking a Data Analyst to elevate our analytics capabilities, strengthen core reporting, and help design and operationalize AI-augmented analytics that improve how we understand partner and merchant behavior and outcomes.

As a Data Analyst in SMB Payments , you will play a pivotal role in identifying key metrics, building durable reporting, and conducting comprehensive analyses to inform business strategies. You will work collaboratively with cross-functional teams-including Product, Sales, Marketing, Account Management, and Risk-to drive product upselling and cross-selling, enhancing both partner and merchant experiences.You will also contribute to the team's LLM/AI analytics roadmap by applying GenAI thoughtfully to unlock insights from unstructured and semi-structured data (e.g., call notes, tickets, feedback, emails where permitted), automate narrative generation, and improve analytic workflows-while ensuring strong controls, data privacy, and measurable quality.

The JPMorganChase SMB Payments Analytics team is dedicated to cultivating a data-driven culture and empowering fact-based decision-making. Our Business Analytics division champions this mission by delivering data, insights, and scalable reporting-while also accelerating the integration of modern analytics techniques, including LLM/GenAI-enabled insights, into everyday decisioning.

Job Responsibilities

• Identify, define, and maintain core SMB Payments performance metrics; build scorecards/dashboards and recurring reporting for stakeholders.

• Perform deep-dive analyses to surface trends, drivers, and root causes; translate findings into clear narratives and recommended actions.

• Build scalable datasets and self-service analytics assets with clear documentation (metric definitions, assumptions, and data lineage).

• Partner with Product and commercial teams to size opportunities, monitor funnel performance, and measure outcomes of upsell/cross-sell initiatives.

• Apply LLMs and modern AI techniques to augment analytics workflows (e.g., summarization, topic modeling/classification, semantic search, insight extraction) and reduce time-to-insight.

• Help design and run LLM evaluation and monitoring (quality, robustness, latency, cost) and contribute to improving prompts, retrieval approaches, and end-to-end performance.

• Use critical thinking and advanced analytics to diagnose underperforming models/pipelines (data issues, drift, prompt failures, weak retrieval, label quality).

• Collaborate with partners across Product, Engineering, Data, and Risk to ensure AI-enabled solutions are secure, compliant, auditable, and reliable in production.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

• 5+ years of experience in analytics, business analytics, or data analysis delivering business-critical insights and reporting.

• Fluency in SQL and Python for analysis, automation, and reproducible analytics.

• Strong ability to frame ambiguous business problems, design analyses, and communicate results to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Experience building dashboards and visualizations (e.g., Tableau; other BI tools acceptable).

• Demonstrated exposure to AI/LLM concepts and applied use cases (prompting/evaluation, embeddings/semantic search, text analytics, or ML experimentation) with a strong interest in expanding hands-on delivery.

• Strong collaboration skills across cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Sales, Marketing, Account Management, Risk).

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

• Bachelor's degree (Master's a plus) in Computer Science, Statistics, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• Knowledge of consumer/retail banking and/or payments products (SMB/payments domain strongly preferred).

• Working knowledge of Alteryx and advanced Tableau development.

• Experience with big data and modern data ecosystems (e.g., Spark, cloud data platforms, distributed querying).

• Experience with ML/AI tooling (e.g., scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow) and/or deploying analytics into production workflows.
