The Role
The Senior Product Analyst is a strategic partner to Product, Engineering, and Design, responsible for shaping product direction through rigorous analysis, strong product intuition, and deep ownership of metrics, instrumentation, and experimentation. This role combines analytical depth with product thinking, enabling teams to understand user behavior, validate hypotheses, identify growth opportunities, and make high-quality decisions at speed. The Senior Product Analyst operates autonomously, leads analytical strategy for their product area, and ensures that the product team has a robust, batteries-included analytical foundation.
What You'll Do

- Design tracking plans and instrumentation schemas; work with engineering to ensure correct implementation
- Implement automated alerting and monitoring to surface health issues, funnel breaks, outliers, and behavior shifts in real time
- Lead the design, execution, and interpretation of experiments (A/B tests, multivariate tests, staggered rollouts)
- Select and apply appropriate statistical techniques (frequentist/Bayesian, CUPED, time-series methods).
What You'll Need
- 4-6 years in product analytics, data science, or growth analytics with extensive product-team experience.
- Proven track record influencing product roadmaps with evidence-based insights.
- Experience in high-velocity experimentation environments (consumer apps, fintech, SaaS, marketplaces).
- Expert SQL; fluency with Snowflake or equivalent cloud data warehouses.
- Strong experimental design and statistical analysis skills.
- Competence with data visualization tools and dashboards (Looker, Metabase, etc.).
Our vision is to build a new financial ecosystem where everyone can participate on equal footing and access the tools they need to be financially healthy. We strongly believe that inclusion fosters innovation and we’re proud to have a diverse global team that represents a multitude of backgrounds, cultures, and experience. We hire talented people regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
