Senior Business Intelligence Analyst (Payments Strategy)

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of data that isn't yet "analysis-ready," mapping out processes to understand the how and why behind the numbers before building a single chart.
• Untangle the nuances of VCC interchange, ACH, and check processing costs to find hidden margins.
• Prepare the "Story of the Business" for the C‑suite and sub‑department leaders to drive high‑stakes decision‑making.
• Build and maintain PowerBI dashboards that track customer and vendor behaviors, identifying trends that signify churn risk or growth opportunities.
• Develop data‑driven forecasts for interchange revenue and operational savings to support quarterly business reviews.
• Act as an internal consultant to identify high‑value areas for resource allocation, such as shifting high‑volume check spend to e‑payments.
• Perform rigorous self‑audits and reconciliation to ensure that every figure presented to leadership is 100% accurate and defensible.

Requirements

• Expert‑level SQL (complex joins, CTEs), PowerBI, and Excel (advanced modeling) are mandatory. Python is a strong plus.
• 4+ years in a Business Intelligence or Financial Analyst role.
• Experience presenting complex data insights directly to C‑level executives or Department Leads is a must.
• Previous experience in the US payments industry (Interchange, ACH, VCC) is a significant advantage.
• A borderline‑obsessive attention to detail. You are someone who catches discrepancies (like mismatched figures between a report and a summary) before they reach a stakeholder
