About the Opportunity

We are seeking a Financial Data Analyst to join our Finance team in a role that spans financial planning & analysis and capital markets. You will own core pieces of our forecasting and planning cycles, build portfolio- and merchant-level analytics that drive strategic decisions, and support the execution of our funding strategy and lender relationships. Reporting to the Director of FP&A and partnering day-to-day with the VP of FP&A and VP of Capital Markets, this role offers unique breadth for an analyst seat: forecasting & statistical modeling, unit economics, asset backed financing in one role.

Forecasting & Financial Planning

  • Support quarterly Outlook forecasts and the annual budget and plan, spanning originations, portfolio performance, and profitability
  • Build and maintain components of the corporate forecasting model, including portfolio performance analysis across payment behavior, delinquency roll rates, and charge-offs
  • Develop scenario and sensitivity analyses to support strategic decisions and stress-test liquidity positions
  • Analyze variances versus budget and outlook, translating drivers into clear narratives for senior leadership

Capital Markets

  • Support the VP of Capital Markets in managing Koalafi’s asset-backed debt facilities, including covenant compliance monitoring, borrowing base reporting, and analyses supporting draws and repayments
  • Help prepare investor and lender communications, portfolio analyses, and materials for investor meetings
  • Develop credit performance forecasts (e.g., delinquency, prepayment behavior) to inform funding strategy and capital planning
  • Research capital markets trends, funding innovations, and peer strategies

Business & Portfolio Analytics

  • Build merchant- and product-level unit economics and net cash flow analysis to inform pricing, growth, and capital allocation decisions
  • Leverage SQL and large operational datasets to build data models, dashboards (e.g., Tableau, Snowsight), and self-serve reporting
  • Support monthly financial review materials and ad-hoc analyses of executive questions
  • Monitor competitor and market performance and synthesize implications for the business

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Risk, Accounting, Sales, and Operations teams to align forecasts, metrics, and reporting logic
  • Improve internal processes, automate workflows, and leverage modern tooling (including AI) to increase the speed and accuracy of analysis

About You

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Engineering, or a quantitative field
  • 2 - 5 years of experience in data/business analytics, FP&A, strategic finance, capital markets, investment banking, or financial services analytics
  • Expertise in writing SQL for data analysis, metric reporting/tracking, and creating datasets
  • Experience working with large, complex datasets to tackle ambiguous, open-ended problems
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including complex formulas, pivot tables, and data analysis.
  • Curious about the "why" behind the numbers digging into data and independently following the evidence to identify root causes and actionable insights
  • Confident supporting multiple senior stakeholders and prioritizing across competing workstreams
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex analysis into concise takeaways
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with ambiguous problems and evolving priorities

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in consumer finance, particularly subprime or non-prime lending
  • Foundational knowledge of asset-backed lending, securitization, and debt capital markets
  • Python experience for financial analysis and forecasting
  • Demonstrated experience using BI tools (e.g., Tableau) to build dashboards and track KPIs
  • Experience applying AI tools to accelerate analysis and reporting

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
