Data Analytics Lead (FinTech/Start-up)

First Circle is one of the fastest-growing FinTech companies in the country, providing financial services to under-served SMEs. We've already transformed access to credit for thousands of businesses, and now we're building a full-stack neobank offering multi-currency bank accounts, payments, FX, corporate credit cards, and payroll. As we enter this next phase of growth, we're hiring exceptional talent with a track record of excellence to join us in shaping the next chapter.
We're looking for a Data Analytics Lead who's a practical problem-solver. The ideal candidate has strong problem solving and analytical skills, and is able to work with others to turn ideas into action. They don't stop at finding a neat solution to a problem - they want to implement change and see the results of their work. They're comfortable with data, ready to tackle tricky problems in ambiguous situations, and able to partner with stakeholders, including senior leaders.
First Circle is changing small business banking in the Philippines. The sky is the limit for someone who wants to get stuck in and make a difference.

Conducting price elasticity analysis and designing and implementing experiments to test the hypotheses.
Automating our weekly and monthly reporting to surface insights and allow us to see the "so what."
