Our world-class culture is shaped by dedicated team members who are driven to succeed as professionals individually and together as a team. Backed by a strong product, exceptional people, and a stable financial foundation, we’ve grown into a leading provider of used and new car financing across the country.
Our Support teams work with multiple departments in a dynamic environment that promotes flexibility and autonomy, while offering the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of professionals. We work to comply with our company standards, exceed customer expectations, and drive our Great Place to Work culture. We deliver high-quality services aligned to business needs, driving innovative improvements that support our company strategy and modern operating principles.
We are looking for a highly analytical, execution-oriented Senior Business Strategy Analyst to work as an individual contributor on some of the most important growth and go-to-market questions facing our auto lending business. This role is designed for a seasoned strategist who prefers hands-on problem solving and critical thinking over team management, and who can independently take ambiguous business questions from definition through analysis to executive-ready, data-driven recommendations.
You will partner closely with leaders across Marketing, Sales, Product, Analytics (Underwriting/Pricing), and Finance, contributing rigorous analysis and structured thinking to shape go-to-market (GTM) strategy, growth initiatives, and strategic planning. While this is not a people-manager role, it has high visibility and impact, with regular interaction with Director- and VP-level stakeholders. This is not a role focused on passively pulling data or waiting for predefined order tickets. Success in this role requires proactive problem framing, hypothesis-driven analysis, and independent judgment—using data as a tool to answer why and what should we do, not just what happened.
Outcomes and Activities:
- Independently lead strategic analyses that inform business and go-to-market (GTM) strategy, including product launches, customer segmentation, channel strategy, and market expansion.
- Translate ambiguous business questions into structured problem statements, hypotheses, and analytical workplans—without relying on detailed instructions.
- Build and maintain financial, strategic, and scenario models to evaluate new opportunities, risks, and trade-offs.
- Analyze large, complex datasets to uncover insights related to customer behavior, portfolio performance, channel effectiveness, and growth opportunities.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to shape the direction of analysis, not just execute predefined requests.
- Develop clear, insight-rich recommendations that are grounded in data, commercial judgment, and business impact.
- Create consulting-style, executive-quality PowerPoint presentations that use data-driven storytelling to influence decisions and align stakeholders.
- Define success metrics and KPIs for strategic initiatives and support ongoing performance tracking.
- Contribute meaningfully to quarterly and annual strategic planning cycles.
- Act as a trusted thought partner to senior stakeholders, bringing a strong point of view supported by analysis.
Knowledge and Skills:
- Strong command of strategy and problem-solving frameworks, critical thinking, competitive analysis, and business case development.
- Advanced data analysis and modeling skills, with the ability to work independently end-to-end—from data exploration to insight synthesis.
- Experience with Business Intelligence (BI) tools, such as Power BI, to explore data, build views, and communicate insights.
- Experience working with large datasets and de-averaging portfolio-level metrics to identify segment-level opportunities (e.g., by customer behavior, product usage, channel, or geography).
- Ability to design and interpret dashboards and data visualizations for senior audiences, while knowing when deeper analysis is required beyond dashboards.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including executive storytelling and structured slide development.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity with a bias for action, intellectual curiosity, and urgency.
- Strong business judgment and pragmatic decision-making mindset.
- Proven ability to influence without authority in a cross-functional, matrixed environment.
Requirements:
- 6–8 years of relevant experience in:
- Top-tier or strong management consulting firms, or
- Internal strategy, analytics, or GTM roles at a high-performance company (e.g., financial services, fintech, consumer lending, technology).
- Demonstrated experience owning strategy or analytics workstreams independently, from problem definition through delivery.
- High fluency in data environments.
- Hands-on experience using SQL and Excel for data analysis (beyond conceptual familiarity), with additional experience in Python. SAS/R, or Snowflake.
- Practical experience using BI tools such as Power BI as part of an overall analytical workflow.
- Experience working directly with senior stakeholders (Director / VP level).
- Strong presentation and executive communication experience, particularly in data-driven, consulting-style PPTs.
Preferred:
- MBA or advanced degree in business, economics, engineering, or a quantitative field.
- Experience in auto finance, fintech, consumer lending, or adjacent industries.
- Exposure to GTM-related domains such as:
- Customer or dealer segmentation
- Channel strategy or optimization
- Sales enablement
- Pricing or promotion strategy
- Growth or market-entry strategy
- Familiarity with Databricks or similar big data / analytics platforms used for large-scale data processing and analysis.
