As we expand beyond our core BNPL product into new financial products, the Data Analytics team is looking for a Senior Data Analyst II to be the senior analytics voice for this growth frontier. You'll partner with senior leaders across Product, Finance, Risk, and Operations to build the analytical foundations that will define how Zip evaluates, launches, and scales new product categories. You'll lead complex, high-impact analytical initiatives, from helping size market opportunity and measuring early product-market fit, to understanding customer eligibility, adoption, and retention across our expanding product suite. This is a rare opportunity to shape analytics from the ground up for products that don't yet have established playbooks, where your work will directly influence strategic investment decisions and product direction. Start your adventure with Zip As a Senior Data Analyst II working with the business, you'll own the analytics that power Zip's most strategically important growth bets. You'll be the primary analytical partner for teams building new Zip products, helping them understand customer behavior, product performance and financial outcomes at each stage of the product lifecycle, from pre-launch through scaled adoption. You'll operate in a highly ambiguous environment where the right questions are still being defined. You'll bring structure and rigor to that ambiguity, translating incomplete or conflicting signals into clear recommendations that guide product strategy, risk appetite, and go to market decisions. Alongside delivering analysis, you'll build the scalable data models and shared metrics that will serve as the authoritative foundation for new product analytics as the initiative grows. Interesting problems you’ll get to solve Lead end to end analytics for Zip's new product lines from opportunity sizing and launch readiness through post-launch performance and iteration.

Build market sizing, segmentation, and opportunity analyses that inform where and how Zip should invest in new product growth. Design, implement, and govern scalable analytics frameworks, including reusable data models, shared metrics, and analytical methodologies, purpose-built for new product categories where definitions must be established from scratch. Develop advanced analyses integrating behavioral, financial, and risk data to provide holistic, forward-looking views of product health and customer outcomes. Set and champion best practices for dbt data modeling, SQL performance, and analytical code quality as the new product analytics foundation is established. Advise VP and executive-level stakeholders by synthesizing complex analysis into concise narratives connecting insights to product strategy, financial impact, risk trade-offs and growth opportunity. Drive cross-functional alignment on metrics, definitions, and analytical approaches across Product, Finance, Risk, and Operations teams working on new products while escalating material decisions to leadership Raise the analytical bar across the team through mentorship, knowledge sharing, and thoughtful review of analytical approaches and outputs. What you’ll bring to the team 8+ years of experience in data analytics, product analytics, business intelligence or a related analytical discipline, including experience in highly complex or ambiguous analytical environments. Deep SQL expertise and demonstrated experience designing efficient analytical solutions across large and complex datasets. Advanced experience with dbt and data modeling, including building scalable, reusable data models and trusted analytical foundations.
