Data Scientist 2 - Credit Karma
Company Overview
Intuit is the global financial technology platform that powers prosperity for the people and communities we serve. With approximately 100 million customers worldwide using products such as TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to prosper. We never stop working to find new, innovative ways to make that possible.
Job Overview
Data and analytics play a pivotal role in Credit Karma’s mission and every part of our business – informing new product design, driving marketing efficiency, and powering the recommendations we personalize to each of our over 140 million members.
We’re seeking a driven, results-oriented, problem solver to join the Partnerships Analytics team supporting the Credit Cards vertical. In this role, you will use your analytical and strategic experience to create data-driven business recommendations that drive key decisions or deepen relations with our partners (startup fintechs to the largest financial institutions in the world). This role has high visibility and will contribute meaningfully to Credit Karma’s growth in delivering value for our members and partners.
Responsibilities
- Leverage internal and external data to develop business recommendations that generate value for Credit Karma and its lending partners
- Own performance analytics for a portfolio of Credit Card issuers, identifying opportunities to improve funnel performance, expand revenue, and enhance member outcomes
- Analyze tradeline, partner, and member-level data to evaluate credit performance trends, surface emerging risks, and identify opportunities for portfolio growth
- Collaborate with Business Development to build data-driven materials for quarterly and ad hoc business reviews, shaping executive-ready narratives around performance, risk, and forward-looking growth strategies
- Design and maintain scalable reporting solutions in Tableau (or similar BI tools), delivering timely, decision-ready insights to both internal stakeholders and external partners
- Unlike some analytics functions, you are not a service provider. You’re a thought leader to the business, owning end-to-end analytic work streams, defining success and performance metrics, and delivering actionable insights and recommendations for cross functional groups and partners
