Job description

Senior Data Analyst, Strategic Finance (Commercial Insights)

About Cleo: At Cleo, we're building a fintech platform aimed at giving people a hyper-intelligent financial advisor in their pocket. Cleo is a profitable, fast-growing unicorn with over $200 million in ARR and strong year-over-year growth. We look for talent that combines deep expertise with a culture of collaboration and impact.

About The Role: We’re hiring a Senior Data Analyst, Strategic Finance (Commercial Insights). This is a high-impact role focused on surfacing and scaling the insights that power Cleo’s financial strategy and external market communications.

You’ll be responsible for pulling together product, user, and financial data to show how our initiatives drive growth and impact. You’ll connect the dots across the business and deliver analyses that strengthen internal decision-making and external reporting. Embedded within Strategic Finance, you’ll work with the CEO Office, Capital Markets, and Product leaders to translate complex business dynamics into metrics and stories that resonate. You’ll shape quarterly investor updates and build scalable systems that track performance against strategy, ensuring Cleo speaks with precision, transparency, and authority. This is the first role dedicated to owning this insight layer within Strategic Finance, supported by an established Commercial Analytics team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Investor-Ready Insights: Transform product, user, and financial data into clear, defensible analyses for board decks, trading updates, and investor communications.
• Performance Storytelling: Highlight the real impact of new features and user behaviours, connecting product progress to financial outcomes.
• Insight Infrastructure: Build dashboards, semantic layers, and automated reporting pipelines to bring consistency and trust to performance reporting.
• Contextual Impact Analysis: Explain how key behaviours like attach rates, retention, and feature adoption influence performance and growth.
• External Reporting & Communications: Create investor-ready outputs — from annual financial reports to quarterly trading updates — with precision and visual clarity.
• Market Benchmarking: Monitor peers to position Cleo’s progress in context and inform strategy.
• Data Governance: Maintain clarity and consistency in definitions, documentation, and reporting for a single source of truth.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in data analytics, BI engineering, analytics engineering, or hybrid data/finance roles, ideally in a high-growth, product-led company.
• Expert-level SQL.
• Hands-on experience with BI tools (Looker, Mode, Tableau) and data workflow tools (dbt, Airflow).
• Solid grasp of financial and operational metrics—experience with FP&A or Strategic Finance teams is a plus.
• Bias for action and ownership—you’re excited to build from scratch, own end-to-end projects, and deliver value quickly.
• Strong communication skills to work across technical and non-technical teams.
• Interest in fintech and Cleo’s mission to make money easier and more human.

Nice To Have

• Experience automating or supporting investor-facing reporting or board materials.
• Experience in environments blending consumer tech and financial services (e.g. AI, lending, credit, payments).

What You'll Get For Your Hardwork

• This is a level 3 position with Cleo’s internal competency framework for Product Analytics.
• Competitive compensation package (base + equity) with bi-annual reviews aligned to quarterly OKR planning.
• Work at a fast-growing tech startup backed by top VC firms.
• Clear progression plan and support for growth and impact.
• Flexibility and balanced work arrangements to support well-being.
• Global, distributed team with options for hybrid or in-office work in London, with travel coverage when applicable.
