About Banyan

BANYAN is a global interchange for SKU-level receipt data, with a mission to make it easy for consumers to connect their receipts to the apps and services they choose, unlocking value for merchants and enabling financial institutions and fintech apps to create incredible, personalized experiences for their customers.

We’re a growing team of more than 25 employees distributed across the US, with offices in Holmdel, NJ and Chicago, IL. Our investors include FinVC, TTV Capital, Motivate Ventures, and Manifold Group, and we have ambitions to become a major player in the future of fintech.

Overview of Role

Banyan is looking to make its second hire on the Product Analytics team, who can take on a “full-stack” role across business intelligence, data onboarding, and analytics engineering. As a Senior Data Analyst, you’ll report to the Director of Product Ops & Analytics, and build out internal product analytics & reporting dashboards, lead data evaluations and transformations of client data (merchant receipts and financial transactions), and perform ad-hoc product analyses for key fundraising, sales enablement, and product initiatives. Currently, our stack is based on GCP (BigQuery), and consists of Looker, dbt, and soon-to-be other modern data orchestration and ingestion tools.

You’ll work closely with a variety of stakeholders across the organization, and serve as an authority on the key product metrics that will drive our business. The right candidate will be analytical, passionate, comfortable with ambiguity and changing priorities, and has a good mix of technical skills and business intuition. This role is a great opportunity for an experienced generalist interested in building things from the ground up as initial duties will span multiple areas of analytics and shift to greater specializations or focus areas over time.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about the developing practices of data analysis, business intelligence, and analytics engineering who can quickly absorb the business context of our company. We recognize that many great applicants will come with differing levels of experience and backgrounds (or may not have worked with the specific tools in our stack), so if you are interested and passionate about our company vision and mission, please apply!
