Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Valiant Finance Full time $104,000 - $130,878 per year

Valiant is an innovative, award-winning platform connecting Australian business owners with the finance they need to kick goals. With pioneering tech, a diverse lending panel, and a talented team, we've revolutionised the business lending game. We bring the human touch to finance, making it accessible to Aussie SMEs and streamlining the (traditionally tedious) application process. We work with over 80 leading lenders to wow our clients with a seamless experience, from their initial enquiry through to settling funds.

As a Business Analyst within the Data team, you will drive data adoption and accelerate its time-to-value across the organisation. You will play a critical role in maintaining, managing, and enhancing our matching and quoting technology, as well as a suite of data and AI-powered tools. This role requires a blend of technical aptitude, the ability to translate complex concepts for diverse audiences, and a passion for staying informed about the evolving lending landscape.

Key Responsibilities & Duties

  • Ensure the consistent accuracy of Valiant's matching and quoting technology, as well as Valiant's AI Assistants, by conducting thorough stress-testing of their performance and outcomes.
  • Engage with Business Development Managers (BDMs), Credit Analysts, and other stakeholders from our Lender Panel to ensure the data integrity and trustworthiness of all lending products on our platform.
  • Translate lending product details from plain language into a programmatic format suitable for our matching engine.
  • Support the sales team by coaching them on how to maximise the value of our tech products, including demonstrating product usage, addressing questions and feedback, and promoting internal adoption.
  • Liaise with all functions within Valiant to identify new opportunities where AI can be leveraged to streamline processes.
  • Conduct research on the lending space (e.g., new feature identification) to improve and contextualise our tech product portfolio (e.g., our matching technology).
  • Critically evaluate Valiant and third-party datasets, and perform exploratory data analysis to identify trends and insights that can inform business decisions.

Skills and Experience

  • Excellent team player with strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy.
  • Ability to synthesise complex topics and communicate them clearly to non-technical audiences.
  • Proven stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to adapt to a constantly changing environment.
  • Advanced proficiency in spreadsheet software.
  • Experience with JSON data structures, or a strong willingness to learn and work with JSON.
  • A demonstrated curiosity and interest in AI and its business applications.
  • General finance knowledge and lending knowledge, while not mandatory, are highly valued.
  • Familiarity with SQL and Python as analytical tools is highly valued but not mandatory.
  • 2-5 years of experience in data analysis, business analysis, research analysis, or a similar role.

Academic or trade qualifications

  • Tertiary qualification in a relevant discipline preferred (e.g., Business, Economics, Data science).

Benefits

  • Embrace your need for work-life balance with our hybrid working model.
  • Celebrate the joy of starting a family with 8 weeks of paid parental leave.
