About the Role
We're looking for a sharp, execution-oriented strategist to join our Growth team and help drive performance across consumer lending originations. This is a high-impact individual contributor role sitting at the intersection of strategy and operations — you'll own the analysis, shape the roadmap, and roll up your sleeves to make things happen.
You'll work directly with the Head of Growth and partner closely with Marketing, Engineering, and Credit/Risk to identify growth opportunities, optimize acquisition channels, and build the operational infrastructure that lets our originations scale. If you thrive in a lean environment where you write the playbook as you go, this role is for you.
What You'll Do
Strategy & Growth
Execute on the originations roadmap across direct mail, digital, and partner/affiliate channels — tracking progress, flagging blockers, and keeping initiatives moving
Build business cases to support channel expansion & testing
Define and track OKRs/KPIs for originations performance; surface actionable insights on a regular cadence
Operations & Execution
Own funnel and conversion reporting end-to-end — build, maintain, and improve dashboards that drive daily decision-making
Identify operational bottlenecks across the origination funnel and design scalable process improvements
Create and maintain process documentation and SOPs that help the team move faster and more consistently
Cross-functional Partnership
Translate analytical findings into clear recommendations and communicate them effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Translate business needs and originations priorities into clear, structured requirements for the engineering team - Write requirements, define acceptance criteria, and document workflows to ensure engineering builds the right things in the right order
Own UAT (user acceptance testing) for originations-related releases — validating that what ships matches what was requested, support launch planning and go-to-market execution for initiatives
What We're Looking For
Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or Finance.
2–4 years of experience in strategy, operations, management consulting, investment banking, or a high-growth fintech/startup environment
Background in financial services, consumer lending, or a closely adjacent industry preferred
Demonstrated track record of owning cross-functional projects from analysis through execution
Experience translating business problems into functional requirements, user stories, or product specs for an engineering or development team
Skills & Tools
Strong SQL skills — you're comfortable writing queries to answer your own questions without waiting on a data team
Experience with BI tools (Looker, Tableau, or equivalent); able to build and maintain dashboards independently
Hands-on familiarity with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) for research, drafting, and analysis — you use these daily, not occasionally
Outstanding written and verbal communication; able to distill complex analysis into crisp, decision-ready outputs
Mindset
Comfortable operating in ambiguity — you don't wait for the perfect brief to get started
Bias toward action; you ship, learn, and iterate rather than over-engineering upfront
Naturally curious about the numbers and willing to dig until you have an answer you trust
Collaborative and low-ego — you give credit, ask for help, and make the team around you better
Actively experiments with AI tools to work faster and smarter — you view them as force multipliers, not gimmicks
Nice To Have
Prior experience in consumer lending originations, underwriting, or direct marketing
Familiarity with origination platforms and/or call center operations
Experience building or contributing to analytics infrastructure (data pipelines, reporting schemas)
Exposure to A/B testing methodology and experiment design
Benefits & Perks
Compensation at Braviant is competitive and commensurate with experience. Details will be discussed with qualified candidates during the interview process. In addition, we provide:
Generous paid time off, including PTO, sick time, and 13 company holidays
401(k) with company contribution
Participation in annual discretionary bonus plan
Regular team and company gatherings
