Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
We're looking for a passionate and analytically minded professional to join the Strategic Finance team. Strategic Finance is responsible for driving company strategy, empowering executive decision making, and guiding the company towards achieving its goals. This high impact, highly visible role sits on the Revenue Finance group, a scrappy, tight-knit team with outsized cross-functional impact and ownership. We help set the company-wide targets, provide forecasts and real time analytics to executives and business leaders, and partner cross functionally to evaluate strategic business and product decisions. The ideal candidate will not only have superb technical skills but also strong interpersonal skills and the ability to influence and present to all levels of the organization.
What you'll do
Drive business outcomes through analytic and strategic support for Affirm’s Small Business (SMB) merchants and one-to-many platform partners
Analyze and report realized performance to company leaders and external partners on key top-line performance metrics and targets, and drive accountability for results
Design and deliver scalable automated user and financial dashboards and analytics for cross departmental and executive consumption
Develop bottoms up business unit financial models for Affirm’s strategic platform partners
Collaborate with cross functional teams (i.e. Strategic Partnerships, Product, Revenue Analytics, Merchant Pricing and Credit) to scale partnerships profitably through high impact strategic projects
What we look for
Passion and drive to disrupt the lending and financial industry for the better
Strong sense of ownership, intellectual curiosity and an ability to think creatively and critically and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic, and often ambiguous work environment
Excellent communicators who seek out the opportunity - and accountability - that comes with being front and center with company executives
High attention to detail but an equally important ability to see the big picture and evaluate analyses with strategic business context
2+ years experience in fast-paced analytical roles (investment banking, consulting, data science, analytics, etc.)
Excellent excel/sheets ability (you should be prepared for a financial model case study)
Experience and proficiency in SQL
Experience in Sigma, Looker or similar BI tool a plus
