Job description
Founded in 2017, NinjaHoldings works to give everyday Americans better access to financial services than traditional institutions typically provide. Through our CreditNinja and NinjaCard brands, we offer digital banking and lending products designed for consumers often overlooked, paired with incentives that support long-term financial improvement.

Headquartered in Chicago with a distributed global workforce, we are a lean, growing organization committed to advancing consumer finance in the US.
Job Summary
NinjaHoldings is seeking a self-directed Data Associate to join our Marketing Analytics team, partnering with Marketing and senior analytics experts. You'll own analytics work end-to-end within your area - building and maintaining the Snowflake/dbt models and Periscope dashboards that power funnel reporting, independently diagnosing drop-off drivers with SQL and Python, and translating your findings into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership. You'll coordinate with cross-functional partners, help level up more junior analysts, and are expected to work fluently and critically alongside modern AI tooling.
Key Responsibilities:
Own the monitoring of key funnel metrics through reports and dashboards - tracking channel performance, diagnosing deviations, and driving to root cause with minimal guidance
Independently take a defined business problem, analyze it with SQL and Python, quantify drop-off drivers, and deliver a recommendation that accounts for business tradeoffs
Build, update, and maintain dbt data models in Snowflake to enhance and streamline marketing reporting, writing reusable, standards-compliant code
Build and maintain Periscope dashboards, adding charts and metrics that improve visibility across the marketing funnel
Communicate concise, action-oriented recommendations to senior management, tailoring the narrative and visualizations to the audience
Partner with Marketing, Risk, and Engineering to coordinate strategy changes, monitor releases, and conduct post-release impact analysis
Use AI tools to accelerate analysis and development, while critically verifying their output - catching errors, validating logic, and take ownership of correctness
Support the growth of the team through knowledge sharing, code review, and mentoring of junior analysts
Ideal Candidate Will Have:
Bachelor's degree required
2+ years of experience with data analytics
Advanced working SQL knowledge and experience with relational databases and query authoring, plus working familiarity with a variety of databases
Proficiency in using Python
Demonstrated ability to work effectively alongside AI/LLM tools using them to move faster while independently verifying and correcting their output
Strong quantitative and problem-solving skills with keen attention to detail
Benefits & Perks:
Flexible Paid Time Off
Health Benefits with generous medical, dental and vision insurance plans
401(k) with matching contribution
Paid Family Leave
Annual Wellness & WFH Subsidies
Employee Referral Program
Remote first culture with convenient downtown office in the heart of the city
