We are looking for a highly analytical, execution-oriented Business Strategy Analyst to work as an individual contributor on some of the most important growth and go-to-market questions facing our auto lending business. This role is designed for a seasoned strategist who prefers hands-on problem solving and critical thinking over team management, and who can independently take ambiguous business questions from definition through analysis to executive-ready, data-driven recommendations. You will partner closely with leaders across Marketing, Sales, Product, Analytics (Underwriting/Pricing), and Finance, contributing rigorous analysis and structured thinking to shape go-to-market (GTM) strategy, growth initiatives, and strategic planning. While this is not a people-manager role, it has high visibility and impact, with regular interaction with Director- and VP-level stakeholders. This is not a role focused on passively pulling data or waiting for predefined order tickets. Success in this role requires proactive problem framing, hypothesis-driven analysis, and independent judgment—using data as a tool to answer why and what should we do, not just what happened. Outcomes and Activities: - This position will work from home; occasional planned travel to our Southfield, Michigan office may be required.  However, this position is permitted to work at our Southfield, Michigan office if requested by the team member. - Independently lead strategic analyses that inform business and go-to-market (GTM) strategy, including product launches, customer segmentation, channel strategy, and market expansion. - Translate ambiguous business questions into structured problem statements, hypotheses, and analytical workplans—without relying on detailed instructions. - Build and maintain financial, strategic, and scenario models to evaluate new opportunities, risks, and trade-offs. - Analyze large, complex datasets to uncover insights related to customer behavior, portfolio performance, channel effectiveness, and growth opportunities. - Partner with cross-functional teams to shape the direction of analysis, not just execute predefined requests. - Develop clear, insight-rich recommendations that are grounded in data, commercial judgment, and business impact. - Create consulting-style, executive-quality PowerPoint presentations that use data-driven storytelling to influence decisions and align stakeholders. - Define success metrics and KPIs for strategic initiatives and support ongoing performance tracking. - Contribute meaningfully to quarterly and annual strategic planning cycles. - Act as a trusted thought partner to senior stakeholders, bringing a strong point of view supported by analysis. Knowledge and Skills: - Strong command of strategy and problem-solving frameworks, critical thinking, competitive analysis, and business case development. - Advanced data analysis and modeling skills, with the ability to work independently end-to-end—from data exploration to insight synthesis. - Experience with Business Intelligence (BI) tools, such as Power BI, to explore data, build views, and communicate insights. - High fluency in data environments and tools such as SQL, Python, SAS/R, Snowflake, and Excel. - Experience working with large datasets and de-averaging portfolio-level metrics to identify segment-level opportunities (e.g., by customer behavior, product usage, channel, or geography). - Ability to design and interpret dashboards and data visualizations for senior audiences, while knowing when deeper analysis is required beyond dashboards. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including executive storytelling and structured slide development. - Comfortable operating in ambiguity with a bias for action, intellectual curiosity, and urgency. - Strong business judgment and pragmatic decision-making mindset. - Proven ability to influence without authority in a cross-functional, matrixed environment. Requirements: - Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. - 3-6 years of relevant experience in: - Top-tier or strong management consulting firms, or - Internal strategy, analytics, or GTM roles at a high-performance company (e.g., financial services, fintech, consumer lending, technology). - Demonstrated experience owning strategy or analytics workstreams independently, from problem definition through delivery. - Hands-on experience using SQL and Python for data analysis (not just conceptual familiarity). - Practical experience using BI tools such as Power BI as part of an overall analytical workflow. - Experience working directly with senior stakeholders (Director / VP level). - Strong presentation and executive communication experience, particularly in data-driven, consulting-style PPTs. Preferred: - Bachelor’s degree or higher in business, economics, engineering, or quantitative field or equivalent experience. - Experience in auto finance, fintech, consumer lending, or adjacent industries. - Exposure to GTM-related domains such as: - Customer or dealer segmentation - Channel strategy or optimization - Sales enablement - Pricing or promotion strategy - Growth or market-entry strategy - Familiarity with Databricks or similar big data / analytics platforms used for large-scale data processing and analysis.
