We’re a leading Fintech small business lender fuelling growth by making finance more accessible. 
We deliver fast & flexible funding designed to meet the unique needs of Australian businesses. With over $1.5 billion funded since 2018 and backing for 15,000+ small businesses, we're trusted for our speed, high quality service, and tailored approach.

Job Description

  • Partner directly with business and product initiatives (e.g. Broker Quoting Tool, Embedded Finance) to frame the right questions, design sound analyses, and interpret results with appropriate statistical rigour
  • Apply hypothesis-driven thinking to test assumptions, systematically rule out alternative explanations, and build cumulative, contextual knowledge of the business over time — going beyond what point-in-time AI querying can provide
  • Build a track record of shipped analyses that demonstrably changed a decision or a team's understanding — not just dashboards or ad hoc fact-finding 
  • Drive adoption of an experimentation mindset across teams: framing decisions as testable hypotheses, tracking outcomes, and building an evidence base that compounds across initiatives rather than resetting with each request 
  • Own delivery of hypothesis-driven analyses from framing through to recommendation, partnering with Data Engineering to consume the governed semantic layer rather than duplicating data prep 
  • Work closely with the Data Architecture & Strategy Lead to prioritise analytical focus against the team's active strategic initiatives 

Qualifications

  • Strong grounding in hypothesis-driven analysis, experimental design, and statistical interpretation — able to identify when a result is significant, spurious, or simply under-specified
  • Experience partnering with business or product stakeholders on ambiguous, open-ended questions tied to real initiatives, not just servicing report requests 
  • Comfort working with SQL and a governed semantic/data layer (e.g. dbt, Databricks) to self-serve rather than depending on engineering for every data pull 
  • A builder's instinct for compounding knowledge — documenting reasoning and findings so insight persists and accumulates, rather than being re-derived each time 
  • Strong communication skills to translate analysis into a clear recommendation and a case for action, for both technical and non-technical audiences 
  • Experience in fintech, lending, or financial services highly regarded
