Role
Who you are
- You have several years experience working as a data analyst in a financial institution or tech business performing detailed analysis, using modern statistical methods, to uncover insights in the data
- You have a strong understanding of quantitative finance and can apply your knowledge in a practical way
- You have excellent communication, organisation and prioritisation skills, and have a strong ability to deliver results within tight timelines
- You are proficient using SQL, Python and Tableau (or other data visualisation tools) and have the ability to learn new skills quickly
- You are comfortable working with large datasets and are familiar with modern data stacks and tooling
- You are a story-teller who can effectively interpret and communicate the insights derived from your analysis
- You have a passion for startups and online businesses (these are our customers!). Prior experience working as part of a growth-focused team is a plus
- What is important to point out is that you can do most or all of the above mentioned and can point to your real experience doing it. You’ve probably done it at companies of different shapes, sizes and industries
- Given what we do, experience in financial services, fintech and business-to-business organisations is particularly interesting to us
- On top of that, you’re amazing at prioritisation. You make sure you’re not spread too thin while also giving teams the support they need. You spend your time on the things that make a positive difference. People get why you’ve chosen to say ‘yes’, ‘no’, or ‘not yet’, and are ok with it
- What you’re like as a person and how you treat people is a big deal for us. People love working with you. You’re helpful and generous with your time and knowledge. People love helping you back. People know where they stand with you
- You’re always looking to learn and grow, on a personal and professional level. And you’re always looking to help others learn and grow by sharing your own knowledge and experience
- You know why diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging matters, and speak up when we can do better
What the job involves
- This role sits within the Data Analytics team supporting the Finance team with portfolio and risk analytics to support strategic decision making
- As a senior data analyst you will be a key contributor to this work by creating analysis, testing hypotheses, designing experiments and surfacing insights & recommendations to leaders across the business
- Develop and implement analytics and reporting to monitor portfolio performance, identify trends, and assess risk factors
- You will present complex financial data in an understandable format, making it accessible for stakeholders at all levels
- Develop critical workflows for transforming, visualising, and extracting value from financial and portfolio data
- Design and develop automated reports using SQL and Tableau to surface insights to the entire business
- Effectively communicate results, insights and data-driven narratives across the business
- Contribute to and maintain a high quality codebase, ensuring code is well written, well tested and re-usable
- Build reliable data pipelines and systems to improve, automate and scale our current business processes
- Mentor other Data Analysts within your team to ensure we are growing our skill base across the Data Function

- We’ll review every application we receive. If we’re interested in taking your application further, we will be in touch to find out more about you and what you’re looking for
Our take
Wayflyer's mission is to help emerging eCommerce stores across the globe to reach their potential. It does this by providing finance as well as marketing insights to help companies maximise the success of their online marketing campaigns.
Businesses can let Wayflyer's platform know how much funding they need, and receive up to three offers in a matter of hours. Simultaneously, Wayflyer's free analytics service constantly analyses their digital marketing campaigns, helping them adjust their marketing allowances in order to boost sales.
As well as increasing sales, Wayflyer simplifies the process with a single, no interest fixed fee, fast access to funds, and access to one-off deals. It does this all without taking equity stakes or warrants, allowing businesses to keep full ownership while focusing on growth.
This novel approach has led to Wayflyer working with some of the leading advertising tools, including Facebook Ads, Shopify, and Google Analytics, providing seamless integrations to its merchants. It is also an exceptionally well-funded company, with its latest $1 billion raise cited to support its next phase of growth.
