Job Description
Analyst II, Quantitative Modeling – Forecasting
Affirm
• Own the existing servicing cost attribution model end-to-end: master its inputs, logic, and business impact, then architect and deliver an AI-integrated replacement. • Design, develop, and maintain forecasting models using statistical techniques such as time series, regression, and machine learning to support operational contact forecasting, headcount planning, license forecasting, and budget planning. • Partner with internal stakeholders to frame planning and forecasting problems, develop supporting metrics and diagnostics, and enable high-quality decision-making. • Highlight opportunities for productivity and efficiency improvements through data insights from a budget and financial performance perspective. • Present analytical recommendations to leadership, drive timely decisions, and ensure clear and concise communication with cross-functional stakeholders. • Partner with operational planning and other analytical teams to understand the business context around headcount and workforce scheduling, and obtain the data needed to generate accurate forecasts. • Maintain a strong understanding of our evolving business and ever-changing technical environment.
Job Requirements
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in a quantitative field (e.g., statistics, industrial engineering, operations research) and 5+ years solving forecasting, planning, or related quantitative problems.
- Strong proficiency in SQL and Python or R, and hands-on experience with a modern cloud-native data platform (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or equivalent).
- Experience building optimization models using linear programming techniques (e.g., CPLEX, Gurobi) is a plus.
- Strong experience developing and validating statistical forecasting models, with disciplined approaches to performance measurement, backtesting, and robust error tracking.
- Proven ability to independently structure ambiguous problems and select the appropriate analytical approach without predefined direction.
- Clear, persuasive communicator with strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence senior leaders across technical and non-technical audiences.
- Strong bias toward automation: treat repetitive manual work as avoidable drudgery and build durable, automated systems, delegating to machines what they can do more reliably and efficiently than humans.
- High standards of humility, honesty, and ownership: you take responsibility for outcomes, invest in your own growth, and actively develop others.
