Data Analyst, Product (Banking and Payments)

About the role

Float is building the financial operating system for Canadian businesses - corporate cards, business bank accounts, bill payments, all in one place. Reporting to the Head of Data, this role is embedded inside the product teams behind two of those core pillars: banking infrastructure and payments. Both are high-complexity, high-stakes areas that generate a dense mix of financial, behavioral, and operational data. This role owns that data layer. You're building cohorts before anyone asks, designing measurement frameworks before features go to engineering, and debugging numbers to the source - pipeline issue, definition mismatch, or real product signal. You're also someone who uses AI to move faster without losing rigour. Getting useful outputs from a model means knowing the business and data well enough to give it the right context - that's part of the job too.

Responsibilities

• Define what needs to be measured before features ship and support the instrumentation to measure it. You translate roadmap decisions into measurement requirements.
• Design and get broad alignment on measurement frameworks before features go to engineering - hypothesis, cohorts, success criteria.
• Design and analyze experiments - structure A/B tests for product changes. Define the hypothesis, select the right unit of randomization, size the experiment for sufficient power and interpret results with statistical rigour
• Own the metrics and dashboards for Banking and Payments. Every number is traceable to a reliable dbt model. You keep them accurate.
• Own data quality in your product area - audit dbt models, write clear briefs for analytics engineering, flag gaps before they become problems.
• Run cohort and retention analysis natively - activation sequences, behavioral funnels, leading vs. lagging indicators. Diagnose which lever moves the number, not just what happened.
• Debug ambiguous numbers to the source - pipeline issue, definition mismatch, or real product signal. You close the loop.
• Write expert SQL and bring statistical rigour - cohort construction, retention calculations, confidence intervals, significance testing. You know when you have enough signal to act.
• Use AI as a multiplier - accelerate analysis, generate first-pass SQL, and pressure-test hypotheses faster than you could alone. You know how to give a model the business and data context that makes its outputs impactful.
• Take your share of ad-hoc requests on rotation - owning your product area gives the broader data team meaningful breathing room.
• What Success Looks Like
• Get Embedded : Both team leads treat you as the owner of their data layer. KPI definitions are agreed upon, documented, and tied to reliable dbt models. Gaps are flagged with a fix in motion.
• Build the Measurement Layer : Features ship with measurement frameworks designed upfront. Dashboard
