Affirm is hiring a remote Analytics Lead!
Affirm is hiring an Analytics Lead to join its Revenue Analytics team, a group that produces analyses, reporting, and scalable data solutions supporting the company's go-to-market, partnerships, and merchant-facing revenue segments. This is a remote-first role in Canada, and it blends hands-on analytics work with strategic partnership: the successful candidate acts as a data subject-matter expert for client success and marketplace teams, builds business cases and dashboards that demonstrate Affirm's value to merchants, and designs and interprets experiments tied to go-to-market efforts and upsell opportunities.

The team is described as cross-functional and fast-moving, and the posting emphasizes ownership from strategy through implementation.
