Role and team

Affirm is hiring multiple Senior Analysts through one shared process for its Risk & Analytics organization; final team placement depends on candidate interests, experience, strengths, and business needs.

The organization works across the customer and merchant lifecycle to support responsible growth through analytics, tools, scalable data foundations, and decision frameworks.

Possible placements include Point of Sale, Direct to Consumer/Card, Fraud, Core Analytics, Servicing, and International Expansion.

What you will do

  • Develop and optimize business, risk, or growth strategies across products and geographies using advanced analytics.
  • Monitor portfolio performance and macroeconomic trends, adjusting analytical and operational strategies to balance growth and risk.
  • Partner with Engineering and Machine Learning teams on performance metrics for scalable risk, fraud, or growth models.
  • Translate regulatory and market requirements into analytical policy and product recommendations with Product, Legal, and Compliance.
  • Oversee analytical frameworks and launch or market-entry work aligned with risk appetite, operational capabilities, and local regulations.
  • Engage external merchants, vendors, and partners; build repeatable AI-assisted workflows and mentor junior analysts.

What we look for

  • 2–5 years in an analytically driven consumer lending, credit, or fintech role, using advanced analytics to develop and optimize business strategies.
  • Degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, or a related quantitative field.
  • Advanced proficiency in SQL, Python, or other scripting languages.
  • Expertise in data mining, data visualization, and statistical modeling; experience applying machine learning to business or risk problems.
  • Experience leading cross-functional initiatives involving Product, Legal, Compliance, and Engineering.
  • Strong understanding of consumer lending regulations, regional markets, and economic conditions affecting policy and growth.
  • Ability to turn complex regulatory and economic insights into strategies and influence senior technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Pay

  • Canadian base pay is CAD 112,000–172,000 per year; new employees typically start at the beginning of the pay range.
  • Total compensation may include equity, benefits, and monthly spending stipends.

Workplace

  • Affirm describes itself as remote-first; most roles can be performed from almost anywhere within the country of employment.
  • Some roles may occasionally require office attendance, while a few are office-based; new hires are invited to in-person onboarding.

Benefits

  • Benefits include employer-paid health coverage, spending stipends, flexible time off, holidays, and an employee stock purchase plan.
