Head of Analytics

Head of Analytics (Fintech, Multi-Product SME Lending)

A well-established UK fintech is evolving from a single-product lender into a multi-product SME funding platform. With strong traction across a revolving credit product and a newly launched business credit card, they’re hiring a senior analytics leader to rebuild and lead the function at a pivotal growth stage.

This is a senior role with real ownership across people, strategy and decision-making.

The Role

➜ Lead and rebuild a ~9-person analytics function, including two managers and a senior IC

➜ Own analytics across the full customer lifecycle: acquisition, engagement, retention and unit economics

➜ Operate as a player–coach, comfortable whiteboarding problems and running fast analyses when needed

➜ Partner closely with product, risk, marketing, finance and senior leadership

➜ Define what “good” looks like for KPIs, insight quality and decision frameworks

➜ Influence data platform and tooling decisions alongside senior data and engineering leaders

What You’ll Bring

➜ Senior analytics leadership experience, including managing managers

➜ Background in fintech, lending or credit products (credit card experience a strong plus)

➜ Comfortable staying close to the detail without being a full-time IC

➜ Strong commercial understanding of LTV, pricing, churn and forecasting

➜ Ability to influence effectively from board level through to analysts

➜ A genuine interest in developing people and building long-term careers

What’s On Offer

➜ Competitive salary up to £150k base, with flexibility for exceptional candidates

➜ 15% annual bonus plus leadership-level equity

➜ Excellent benefit package

➜ Ownership of a greenfield analytics rebuild with visible business impact

➜ Hybrid working with a London-based team

➜ Modern data stack: AWS, Python, Tableau, Amplitude, with Snowflake/Databricks under evaluation
