Job Description

The Opportunity

You will serve as the technical anchor for the newly created Payment Performance & Insights team. Working directly with the VP and other payment leaders, you will be the bridge between complex, raw transactional data and strategic executive decisions.

This is a "full-stack" analytical role. You are someone who is equally at ease writing highly optimized SQL and dbt pipelines to transform raw datasets, configuring LookML backends to empower self-serve reporting, and designing rigorous statistical frameworks for pricing, product, and monetization experiments. You will have a massive influence on unlocking the power of our data and accelerating decision velocity.

What you’ll do

Data Foundations, Modeling & Dashboards

- Architect, build and maintain effective and reliable data products (dbt models, pipelines, Looker explores etc.) that enable data driven decision making.
- Partner with Flywire’s centralized Data & Analytics team to build our core payment data assets and to consolidate sources of truth and eliminate fragmented business logic.
- You will design the semantic layer so key business KPIs are defined once, governed clearly, and consumed consistently across dashboards and models.
- Leverage Gen AI and modern analytics tooling to accelerate data discovery, automate documentation, and optimize pipeline maintenance.





Experimentation & Testing

- Define and own Flywire’s core payment experimentation methodology, setting standards for sample sizing, statistical power, and significance.
- Partner with the Monetization and Experience Product teams to design, implement, and interpret A/B tests on pricing, FX rates, and payer behavior.
- Apply advanced statistical techniques to extract the signal from noise in data that can often be highly skewed.

Anomaly Detection & First Line of Defense

- Develop alerting models to spot anomalies in FX rates, margin shifts, volume mix shifts, card authorization rates, and cost structures.
- Build AI-powered automated early warning systems that monitor transactional health across thousands of corridors, scaling our defense systems far beyond manual analysis.

Strategic Analysis & Insights

- Partner closely with product, engineering, and business to deeply understand their challenges and translate ambiguous business questions into actionable insights.
- Link user conversion and drop-off patterns in the payment flow to actual margin impacts that direct product improvement priorities.
- Bring proactive and influential product leadership into areas where data-driven decisions and insights are essential for success.
