Senior Data Analyst
Caribou
At Caribou, we care about giving people financial freedom so they can focus on what’s most important to them. Today, less than two percent of Americans refinance their auto loans despite drastic increases in the cost of new and used cars. We see huge potential to help folks reduce their monthly auto expenses, as well as increase the predictability of those expenses over time. We do this by building technology to pair customers with community banks and credit unions, and ushering them through the process quickly. On average, our drivers save $151/month on their car loans while protecting their investment long term.
Caribou is led by leaders from the technology, automotive, and finance industries. We’re proud to be backed by a great team of investors, including QED Investors, Goldman Sachs, Moderne Ventures, Accomplice, Link Ventures, Motley Fool Ventures and others.
About the Role
Caribou is looking for a Senior Data Analyst to be a key analytics partner for our Partnerships team, with opportunities to support Marketing as well. You’ll play a critical role in measuring performance, managing complex analytics processes, and turning data into actionable insights for stakeholders across the company.
A core responsibility of this role will be to own and manage a Python-based partner model. This includes preparing and QA’ing data inputs, running and analyzing outputs, and leading A/B testing across multiple models. You’ll also help maintain attribution logic, update dbt models that power reporting, and work with engineering to make sure partner integrations are set up correctly and data flows are reliable.
This is not just a reporting role. You’ll be expected to think critically, spot issues before others do, and independently drive analyses that answer tough questions from smart stakeholders. In this role, you will:
- Partner with the Partnerships and Marketing teams to scope problems, design analyses, and present insights in a clear and actionable way
- Conduct deep-dive analyses to evaluate acquisition, conversion, and efficiency trends
- Build and maintain dashboards and reporting for Partnerships and Marketing KPIs
- Own the end-to-end process for a partner-hosted Python model, including data prep, QA, troubleshooting, and performance analysis
- Run A/B testing across models, analyze performance differences, and communicate findings
- Maintain attribution mappings and update dbt models that support both internal dashboards and external partner files
- Collaborate with engineering to ensure partner integrations (ie. APIs) are properly set up and that data flows are complete and accurate
- Proactively identify opportunities for analytics to improve processes, performance, and decision-making
About You
- Technical: 3–5 years in analytics, BI, or related roles with strong SQL and Python skills; comfortable using Python for wrangling data, running models, and troubleshooting workflows. Experience with dbt (or similar frameworks) and familiarity with tools like BigQuery, Looker Studio, or Google Analytics is a plus
- Analytical: Proven ability to evaluate data critically, spot anomalies, run A/B tests, and compare model performance. Skilled at structuring complex problems and delivering clear, actionable insights
- Stakeholder-facing: Comfortable working directly with Partnerships and Marketing stakeholders, including senior leaders, to understand problems, communicate findings, and influence decisions
- Mindset: Thrives in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift. You take ownership from start to finish, enjoy solving unstructured challenges, and make sure stakeholders trust both the process and the results
