Analytics Lead - Finance and FX

About Us

We’re building the world’s leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets - empowering families, fueling local economies, and changing how millions access financial services.

Since our launch in 2019, we have transformed how money moves across borders with our operations spanning 6 out of 7 continents and covering both the busiest and most underserved (remittance) corridors. We tapped into a massive shift - from banks to phones - bringing digital finance to places where traditional systems never reached. The next stage of growth will fuel a network of services and products especially designed to make money more accessible to diaspora communities including local cards, and additional savings and payments features.

We’re growing fast, backed by world-class investors, and scaling a product that blends real world impact with cutting edge fintech innovation.

Here’s a little more:

• Founded by Harvard grads and 3-time founders who previously built Segovia (acquired) and GiveDirectly (>$300M revenue, fastest-growing NGO in the world)

• Backed by top investors including Spark Capital, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital, Unbound, Wamda, and more

• Built by global top performers from Bain, Google, McKinsey, Uber, Checkout, Bolt, and beyond - we move fast, stay humble, and care deeply about our mission

• Truly global team - 250+ people, 50+ nationalities, 50+ languages

• Guided by our values - ownership, impact, humility, and heart - in deed, not just word

The Role

We are looking for an insightful, proactive Analytics Lead - Finance and FX to help us in our next phase of growth and maturity. If you’re excited about building first-class analytics products that tackle thorny Finance and FX challenges in a fast-moving cross-border context, then this role is for you.

No challenge is too small -- or too large! You’ll report to our Head of Data, with significant exposure to our COO and teams across the company, including Finance, Treasury, Engineering, and Markets.

The role is full-time and based in one of our hubs.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement mission-critical financial models in dbt – e.g. pricing optimisation, counterparty exposure analysis, trading evaluation, and real-time P&L attribution across our cross-border payment flows

• Create operational intelligence that pre-empt problems – dashboards, alerts, and tools that help Finance and Treasury spot risks early (e.g. FX anomalies, liquidity gaps, reconciliation issues) and make better decisions (e.g. capital allocation)

• Build our real-time ledger engine – partnering with Treasury, Finance and Engineering to build the analytics models that track tens of millions of daily money movements

• Champion our analytics community – peer review code, share knowledge at weekly meetups, and help raise the bar across the team

Requirements

• 5-7+ years in an analytical role (e.g., fintech, startup, or professional services)

• Strong SQL skills and comfortable working with large, complex datasets

• Hands-on experience tackling analytical FX problems in a relevant context (e.g. cross-border treasury or finance teams)

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills,

• Experience building dashboards in tools like Looker or Mode

• Combine an eye for detail, with a pragmatic attitude to getting things done, and a ‘no task too small’ mentality

• The ability to work independently and balance priorities

Nice to have

• Experience with dbt, Python, and/or R

• Led fast-paced, cross-functional projects previously
