The Role:
We're looking for a highly analytical, hands-on Analytics Manager to lead analytics for Sunbit's Credit Card portfolio. This is a high-impact individual contributor role that sits at the intersection of Credit Risk, Portfolio Management, Fraud, Marketing, and Business Strategy.
Reporting directly to the Head of Analytics, you'll serve as the primary analytics partner for our Credit Card business-transforming complex data into actionable insights that influence product strategy, portfolio growth, risk management, and executive decision making.
Success in this role requires far more than technical expertise.

• Analyze Credit Card engagement and credit performance and identify levers and patterns that can increase card usage and utilization.
• Liaison with Data Engineering and Product to build sustainable and scalable data solutions to address business' current and future needs.
• Own and manage BI reports becoming a focal point for business' data and analytics needs.
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate analytical velocity and democratize data through self-service agents and tools.

What you'll bring:

• 6+ years of experience in Analytics, Data Science, Decision Science, Credit Risk, or a related quantitative function.
• Must have 4+ years supporting Credit Card portfolios, with deep experience in Credit Risk, Portfolio Management, Fraud Analytics, or Consumer Lending.
• 4+ years of working with and proficient in SQL and excited about acquiring new technical skills.
• 4+ years working with major BI platforms like Tableau or Sigma.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience in using Python or R to solve analytical problems.
• Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Engineering, Computer Science, Analytics, or another quantitative field (Master's degree preferred).
• Hands-on technically and excited to drive things end-to-end.
• Passionate about solving real-world problems with data.
