Staff Data Scientist

Location: New York, NY

Department: Analytics

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is building the payment layer for life's financial obligations, giving households one place to see, split, and pay their bills around how they live and get paid. By offering greater choice over how and when payments are made and allowing eligible on time payments to help build a positive credit history, Flex puts households back in control of their cash flow.

That work brings together people with different perspectives who challenge the status quo and take ownership of solving difficult problems.

As a Staff Data Scientist, reporting to our Director of Analytics, you will play a critical strategic role in shaping Flex's future by guiding key analytics projects across our Go-To-Market and Account Management teams. You will champion truth seeking across the business, working to bring clarity to some of Flex’s most challenging and complex areas. Through your technical expertise and mastery of data-led story telling, you improve our understanding of the business and where we can make improvements.
