Affirm is hiring a remote Analytics Lead!
Affirm is hiring an Analytics Lead to join its Growth Analytics International team, working remotely within Canada. The role centres on building the measurement and reporting foundation for Affirm's expansion into new markets, starting with Australia and extending to later international launches. This is an end-to-end business analytics position: the successful candidate will define success metrics, design experiments, build scalable data models and dashboards, and turn findings into recommendations leadership can act on. Because the team works across product, risk, finance, commercial and operations, the job calls for someone who pairs quantitative rigour with commercial judgement and can influence both technical and non-technical audiences. The posting also emphasises mentoring junior analysts, running weekly cross-functional metric reviews, and using AI-assisted tooling to speed up analysis. Affirm describes itself as remote-first, with occasional in-person work and an in-person onboarding experience, and offers subsidised health coverage, monthly tech and wellness stipends, flexible time off and an employee stock purchase plan.

- Collaborate with Product, Risk, Finance, Commercial and Operations to align strategy and execute against objectives, building trusted advisory relationships.
- Mentor and guide junior analysts toward high-impact, business-relevant work.

- Practical and theoretical command of A/B testing.
- Proficiency with SQL and statistical analysis in Python.
