Job description

About Upstart

At Upstart, we’re united by a mission that matters: to radically reduce the cost and complexity of borrowing for all Americans. Every day, we bring creativity, experimentation, and advanced AI to reshape access to credit, helping millions move forward financially with clarity and confidence.

As the leading AI lending marketplace, we partner with banks and credit unions to expand access to affordable credit through technology that’s both radically intelligent and deeply human. Our platform runs over one million predictions per borrower using more than 3,000 signals, powering smarter, fairer decisions for millions of customers. But the numbers only hint at the impact. Every idea, every voice, and every contribution moves us closer to a world where credit never stands between people and their financial progress.

We’re proudly digital-first, giving most Upstarters the flexibility to do their best work from wherever they thrive, alongside teammates across 80+ cities in the US and Canada. Digital-first doesn’t mean distant. We’re intentional about in-person connection through team onsites, planning sessions, and moments that spark creativity and trust. And whether you choose to work primarily from home or collaborate in-person from one of our offices in Columbus, Austin, the Bay Area, or New York City, you’ll have the support to work in the way that works best for you.

If you’re energized by tackling meaningful problems, excited to innovate with purpose, and motivated by work that truly matters, we’d love to hear from you.

The Team:

The Solutions Consulting team is responsible for knowing the intimate details of all Upstart’s products and the associated economics. Members of this team must turn that knowledge into solutions and partnership models for prospective lending partners, able to simply explain and educate partners.

As a Solutions Consultant at Upstart, you will drive adoption of lending partners to the Upstart platform.

How you’ll make an impact

• Function as a solutions consultant, translating ambiguous questions into structured analyses with proven ability to communicate complex analyses clearly and concisely to external stakeholders
• Serve as the owner for deal-related analyses, supporting new and existing LP partnerships across all Upstart products
• Analyze deal economics, performance tradeoffs, risk/return profiles, and product configurations across Upstart’s offering
• Translate analytical findings into clear recommendations that inform deal structuring, pricing, and strategic decisions
• Act as business partner to Capital Markets, Sales, Product, and Finance teams

Minimum Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in solutions consulting, strategy, analytics or a related role
• SQL/Python proficiency and comfort working directly with data
• Ability to work with large datasets and perform rigorous quantitative analysis
• Experience partnering with centralized analytics or data science teams.
• Experience building dashboards or recurring reporting (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Mode, or similar tools)
• Strong stakeholder management skills and comfort operating in cross-functional environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in fintech, capital markets, lending, or financial products.
• Experience with multiple lending products (Personal loans, Auto, Home lending)
• Familiarity with deal economics, risk/return analysis, or portfolio analytics

Travel requirements

As a digital first company, the majority of your work can be accomplished remotely. The majority of our employees can live and work anywhere in the U.S but are expected to still spend high quality time in-person collaborating via regular onsites. The in-person sessions’ cadence varies depending on the team and role; most teams meet once or twice per quarter for 2-4 consecutive days at a time.
