The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly analytical and data-driven Senior Analyst, Payment Analytics to support a growing payments business. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of analytics, strategy, and storytelling - leveraging large-scale consumer and transactional data to uncover insights, influence business decisions, and drive performance across payment programs.

The ideal candidate is both technically strong and business-minded, with advanced SQL and visualization skills, a passion for solving complex business problems, and the ability to communicate insights clearly to stakeholders across the organization.

This is a high-impact consulting opportunity within a fast-paced retail and e-commerce environment where analytics directly influence customer experience, promotional strategy, and business growth.

What You'll Do

• Support Credit Card, Gift Card, and Alternative Payment programs through strategic analytics and reporting
• Maintain monthly and quarterly KPI reporting to track ongoing business performance and identify trends
• Analyze consumer and transactional data to uncover actionable insights related to payment behavior and business performance
• Monitor program health, performance metrics, and customer engagement trends

• Dive deep into complex datasets to identify trends, patterns, risks, and growth opportunities
• Conduct deep-dive analyses to support strategic business initiatives and leadership decision-making
• Translate complex analytics into clear, concise business recommendations
• Create impactful data visualizations, dashboards, and presentations for stakeholders at all levels

• Develop, maintain, and optimize Tableau dashboards related to payments performance and promotional tracking
• Blend data from multiple sources to answer multi-dimensional business questions
• Ensure reporting accuracy, usability, and scalability across analytics tools and dashboards

• Run forecasting and post-analysis for payments-related promotions and campaigns
• Conduct post-promo performance evaluations to measure effectiveness and ROI
• Identify opportunities to optimize promotional strategies and improve customer engagement

• Partner closely with cross-functional teams including Finance, Payments, Marketing, Product, and IT
• Collaborate with PDM and IT teams to ensure data integrity and reporting accuracy
• Help explain drivers of business performance and influence strategic planning initiatives

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Data Science, Business, Economics, Finance, or a related field
• 4-7 years of experience in data analytics, business analytics, or similar analytical roles
• Experience within retail, e-commerce, payments, loyalty, or consumer-focused industries strongly preferred
• Advanced SQL programming skills with experience working across large, complex datasets
• Strong experience with Tableau, Domo, or similar BI/data visualization tools
• Experience leveraging big data technologies such as Azure or Hadoop preferred
• Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills
• Strong understanding of business performance metrics and KPI reporting
• Proven ability to synthesize data into actionable business insights and executive-ready storytelling
• Excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to influence stakeholders across all levels
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively in a fast-paced environment
• Strong attention to detail, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-visibility analytics role supporting a rapidly growing payments business
• Opportunity to influence strategy through data-driven insights
• Exposure to large-scale retail and e-commerce consumer data
• Collaborative, cross-functional environment with strong executive visibility
• Blend of technical analytics, business strategy, and storytelling
• Fast-paced, innovative environment with strong growth potential

The target hiring compensation range for this role is 66.00 - 73.33/hr Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
