Business Analysts at Nubank

As a company at the forefront of the financial revolution in Brazil, Nubank has experienced exponential growth since its inception. To keep your growth path healthy, numerous critical decisions constantly need to be made. Business Analysts are fundamental in the decision process because they must not only be able to deal with large amounts of information and data, but also always think of ways to improve our clients' experience.

It is BA's responsibility to structure the data, analyze it and use the results to test different solutions with the aim of improving Nubank's efficiency.

We are looking for people who are independent and who are not afraid to take the initiative to identify and solve problems that are not necessarily obvious.

You can read more about it in our blog and get some insights into how we work.

As a Business Analyst, you're expected to:

• Define backlog, prioritize activities, own the analytical agenda of a complex initiative and align with multiple groups and stakeholders to deliver a comprehensive solution to key business problems;
• Guide team in research work, focusing on deciding which data makes the most sense to use in each situation. In case the data does not exist, will need to suggest different test options or how to extract the necessary information to answer outstanding questions;
• Influence decisions based on high complexity analysis with a high degree of uncertainty and possible intersections with other areas (engineering, product, etc) with the objective of finding answers and solutions to business situations, comfortable with the process risk taking despite uncertainty;
• Work autonomously with a great volume of information to build a solid database to assist decision making with calculating risks - keeping in mind that not all answers might be found in data and that sometimes not all the ideal data is available;
• Perform extraction, modeling and create visualizations using data using tools (SQL, Python and Scala - with an introduction during the first weeks with us) that contribute to the storytelling of the data analysis;
• Have a good command of the business and how it works, preventing risks and creating sound proposals;
• Opportunity to work in a complex, dynamic and diverse environment, leading projects that impact a large number of customers

What are we looking for

• Analytical capacity: experience with data analysis and elaboration of hypotheses to understand the business scenario and search for solutions, as well as understanding the reason behind the analyses;
• Business sense: understanding of risks and opportunities (trade-offs), in addition to the interaction between areas and products;
• Problem solving: ability to structure solutions to business challenges to achieve better results;
• Ability to understand how your decisions and work impact our customers' experience, seeking results that align with our purpose;
• Ease and speed of learning, mainly for tools;
• Openness to receive feedback and incorporate it into your daily life and development;
