Parker Group Inc is hiring a Data Analyst I as a foundational analytics hire to shape how we use data across Risk, Credit, Fraud, Product, Growth, and Finance. This role is designed for someone early in their career who is keen on operating with a senior level of ownership and judgment, defining key measurements and turning open-ended questions into durable, high-quality analytical systems.
What You'll Do
- Design, build and own core analytical metrics and dashboards used by leadership and operating teams
- Analyze transaction, customer, and credit data to drive decisions across credit risk, fraud & AML, portfolio performance, unit economics, and growth
- Build automations and data pipelines using SQL and Python (or similar)
- Partner closely with Risk, Product, Growth, Finance, and Compliance leaders on high-impact initiatives
- Turn messy, ambiguous questions into clean data, clear metrics and actionable insights
- Perform and own business-critical compliance reporting activities for the Risk team
What We're Looking For
- Excellent command of SQL (you can reason about performance, not just write queries)
- Strong ability to write Python or similar for data workflows and automation
- Strong mental model of data modeling, tables, schemas, and joins
- Demonstrated ability to break down ambiguous problems, decide what should be measured, and build clean, reliable outputs
- AI-first approach to create practical applications using Gen AI and LLMs
- High ownership mindset: we want you to write your specs and not wait for them
- Strong business judgment and curiosity about how companies actually operate
- High standards for clarity, correctness, and simplicity
- Ability and desire to learn complex domains quickly
Nice to Have
- 1–3 years of experience in analytics, data, or technical roles
- Experience in fintech, payments, lending, or financial services
- Prior work in credit, fraud, risk, or financial analytics
- Experience using statistical or data science libraries
- Experience with LLMs or AI-assisted analytics / automation workflows
Technical Stack
- SQL
- Python
Team & Environment
You will work most closely with the Risk team (credit, fraud, AML, portfolio analytics). Parker’s mission is simple but ambitious: to increase the number of financially independent people, and our team is driven by technical excellence and real-world impact.
Benefits & Compensation
- Competitive salary
- Equity (ESOP) in a fast-growing fintech company
- A role with real ownership and real consequences
- Direct exposure to credit strategy, risk management, capital allocation, and business and growth strategy
- The chance to build analytics the right way from early stages
- Work on applied AI / LLM-driven analytics and automation
- A steep growth curve and increasing scope over time
