You'll own the analytics function end-to-end — from designing the metrics framework before launch to running daily reporting, fraud monitoring, and merchant analysis once we're live.
This is a hands-on role: you write SQL, build dashboards, and dig into data. But you also think in problems and solutions — not just charts. You work directly with the Founder, CFO, CTO, and risk/compliance leads. No layers.
WHAT YOU'LL BE OWNING
- Metrics & BI — design the metrics framework and dashboards from scratch, maintain the metrics dictionary
- Data model — review schema, identify gaps, propose what to capture and how
- Transaction & fraud analytics — auth rates, decline analysis, 3DS performance, Visa VAMP / MC MMP monitoring, chargebacks
- Financial analytics — merchant P&L, interchange tracking, scheme fees, IC++ vs blended pricing simulation, revenue forecasting
- Settlement & reconciliation — timeliness, exceptions, nostro monitoring
- Merchant analytics — health scoring, cohort analysis, onboarding funnel, segmentation
- Compliance & regulatory — daily safeguarding reconciliation, AML stats, scheme reports, CBC submissions
- Executive reporting — weekly/monthly reviews with insights and recommendations
