[Hiring] Data Analyst @FYST

Role Description

You'll own the analytics function end-to-end — from designing the metrics framework before launch to running daily reporting, fraud monitoring, and merchant analysis once we're live. This is a hands-on role: you write SQL, build dashboards, and dig into data. But you also think in problems and solutions — not just charts. You work directly with the Founder, CFO, CTO, and risk/compliance leads. No layers.

• Data model: review schema, identify gaps, propose what to capture and how
• Transaction & fraud analytics: auth rates, decline analysis, 3DS performance, Visa VAMP / MC MMP monitoring, chargebacks
• Financial analytics: merchant P&L, interchange tracking, scheme fees, IC++ vs blended pricing simulation, revenue forecasting
• Settlement & reconciliation: timeliness, exceptions, nostro monitoring
• Merchant analytics: health scoring, cohort analysis, onboarding funnel, segmentation
