About This Role:
The Senior Product Insights Analyst is the analytical engine of this team, owning the narrative behind every product decision. This isn’t a reporting role. It’s a product intelligence function. You’ll build the analytical foundation for our credit card business, identify what’s working and what isn’t, and tell us — with confidence — what to do about it.
Key Responsibilities
Product & Business Performance
- Own end-to-end performance analytics: activation, engagement, spend, repayment, and retention across all markets
- Track and interpret key KPIs — NPS, activation rates, digital adoption, unit economics (interchange, fee revenue, loyalty costs, ECL contribution) — and translate findings into clear product and commercial storylines
- Monitor portfolio health: revolve rates, payment behaviour, limit utilisation, and cohort evolution — with forward-looking commentary, not just snapshots
- Identify performance inflection points early and generate root-cause hypotheses — don’t wait to be asked
Funnel, Onboarding & Product Development Lifecycle Support
- Analyse the full acquisition and onboarding funnel — from application through activation and first spend — and size improvement opportunities
- Embed in sprint ceremonies and product rituals; define measurement frameworks for new features before they go live
- Provide pre-launch data readiness checks and post-launch performance reads for every release
- Support A/B testing and experiment design to evaluate product and go to market initiatives Insight Generation & Strategic Recommendations
- Go beyond the numbers — synthesise analysis into conclusions, flag strategic implications, and propose concrete product or commercial actions
- Proactively surface insights the team didn’t know to ask for: behavioural patterns, market signals, competitive benchmarks • Support go to market strategy, value proposition testing, and loyalty/rewards design with databacked recommendations
- Partner with in-country analytics and credit risk teams to validate and localise findings across the Philippines and South Africa Dashboards, Tooling & AI Utilisation
- Build and maintain self-serve dashboards in Databricks and Mixpanel covering business performance, funnel health, portfolio trends, and unit economics

Requirements
Technical Skills
- SQL: expert-level — complex queries, window functions, optimisation at scale
- Python / PySpark: proficient for data manipulation, statistical analysis, and automation
- BI / Visualisation: Databricks and Mixpanel (primary); Tableau or similar also acceptable
- Statistics: hypothesis testing, cohort analysis, and experimental design
- AI-augmented analytics: demonstrated daily use of AI tools to accelerate insight generation and automate workflows — this is an expectation, not a nice-to-have
Domain Experience
- 5+ years in data/analytics; financial services, fintech, or banking required
- Lending domain strongly preferred — credit card, BNPL, or personal loans. Terms like revolve rate, vintage analysis, and ECL contribution should be second nature, not new vocabulary
- Exposure to credit risk concepts (vintage analysis, ECL, delinquency) is a meaningful advantage
- Experience with customer lifecycle analytics: acquisition, activation, engagement, retention, and churn
Core Competencies
- End-to-end ownership: raw data to recommendation — accountable for whether it’s right
- Insight, not just analysis: “here’s what the data shows, here’s what I think it means, here’s what I’d do” — every time
- Speed: good-enough-fast beats perfect-and-late in a high-velocity build environment
- Proactivity: you spot the question before it’s asked and flag the signal before it becomes a problem
- Data literacy leadership: you raise the analytical bar of everyone around you — not just your own output
Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Computer Science, or related quantitative field
- Experience in a multi-market or multi-country product environment

- Premium healthcare for you and your family
