- Support corporate development activities, including M&A and partnership screening, due diligence, valuation analysis, and integration planning
- Lead cross-functional workstreams with Finance, Product, Engineering, Capital Markets, Underwriting, Business Development, and Operations to drive strategic initiatives from insight through implementation, tracking realized value against the business case
- Partner with Technology leadership to assess and optimize enterprise technology architecture — rationalizing the application portfolio, evaluating build/buy/partner decisions, and identifying cost and efficiency opportunities
- Support the enterprise modernization agenda, shaping roadmaps for AI enablement, automation, and platform consolidation that improve margin, scalability, and speed to market
Required Skills, Knowledge and Abilities:
- Bachelor's degree in Economics, Finance, Analytics, or a related field required
- Master's degree preferred
- 3–5 years of experience in strategy consulting (e.g., MBB, Accenture, or Big Four), investment banking, private equity, corporate strategy, or a high-growth fintech
- Exceptional structured problem-solving skills; able to break down ambiguous problems, form hypotheses, and drive to actionable answers with incomplete information
- Advanced financial modeling and analytical toolkit; expert in Excel and PowerPoint, with proficiency in Artificial Intelligence (e.g., Claude) for analysis, modeling, and deliverable development (SQL, Tableau/Power BI a plus)
- Outstanding written and verbal communication; able to craft clear, compelling executive narratives and present with confidence and poise to C-Suite audiences
- Working knowledge of fintech and lending fundamentals — unit economics, credit performance, capital markets, and point-of-sale finance — or demonstrated ability to ramp quickly
- High ownership, intellectual curiosity, and bias for action; thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where priorities evolve
- Low-ego, collaborative teammate who raises the bar of a talented Strategy & Corporate Development team
