Who we're looking for:

We are seeking a Business Analyst on the Finance Analytics team that will be the go-to person for financial metric decomposition and narration, ultimately directly influencing business outcomes and strategic priorities, and forward-looking modeling of our repeat customers, partnering with Finance to both maintain the models and narrate performance against forecast. 

As a Business Analyst on the Finance Analytics team, you will work with the broader Finance organization and Product Analytics team to analyze and narrate our marketplace. You are proactive about identifying positive and negative changes in financial metrics while also working with the team to hypothesize, investigate, and identify the underlying root cause of fluctuations in our metrics. This position requires a professional in data storytelling: we are looking for someone who is capable of presenting trends and overarching narratives of business performance to the broader organization, including senior leadership. 

As a Business Analyst, you will also partner with Accounting, Tax and Product to maintain current reporting on various areas of the business, and are also encouraged to identify opportunities to improve reporting to better meet the teams’ needs. When there are changes across the business that impact Finance, including product feature experiments, new business lines, and regulatory changes, you will partner with stakeholders, both technical and non-technical, to find the right solution.

 This is a hybrid position that has the minimum expectation to work out of our Downtown Seattle Office two days per week on Mondays and Thursdays. For this reason, candidates must be based in the Greater Seattle Area.

Your Responsibilities:

Become a subject matter expert on database queries related to all payments and finance tables, cohort modeling, and integrated third-party vendor data.

Monitor existing metrics and build new metrics that will drive business impact.

Regularly present to senior leadership and the finance organization on the trends and insights into changes in the business. This includes the decomposition of the drivers of those changes as well as recommendations on actions to improve marketplace performance.

Provide leverage for the finance, accounting, and tax teams through insights, narratives and increased automation/simplification. Be a thought partner for business owners, getting to the question behind the question and distilling the underlying need to analyze data.

Demonstrate flexibility and a collaborative mindset by stepping in to support teammates and cross-functional partners as needed. 

Your Qualifications:

3+ years business experience in Analytics.

Background in data-informed decision-making and partnering with multi-functional teams.

Track record of strong written and verbal communication to construct clear data narratives to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership.

Familiarly with finance and accounting principles, including financial statements.

Fluent with SQL and data visualization tools (e.g. Tableau, Looker, etc.) to independently conduct root cause analyses. 

Experience working with data infrastructure / engineering teams to build and optimize data models. 

Experience working with Python, R, or a similar computational language.

Nice to have:

Experience in a two-sided marketplace.
