The Role

At Atlanticus, we’re redefining how responsible credit can empower consumers. As a Senior Credit Risk & Strategy Analyst, you’ll combine analytical rigor with business strategy to drive growth and profitability across our credit card portfolio. You’ll take on complex, cross-functional challenges spanning credit risk, marketing optimization, customer experience, and financial performance - all while helping shape Atlanticus’s next stage of growth.

Because Atlanticus is a fast-growing company, you’ll have broader ownership, greater visibility, and more flexibility than at larger institutions. Analysts here are not confined to narrow lanes - you’ll own your analyses end-to-end, partner directly with senior leaders, and see your work influence major strategic decisions.

What You’ll Do

• Solve complex business problems: Partner with teams across Credit, Marketing, and Finance to develop data-driven strategies that balance growth, profitability, and customer outcomes.
• Own analytical initiatives end-to-end: Frame key business questions, design analyses, extract and synthesize data using SQL, SAS, and Python, and translate insights into actionable recommendations.
• Drive credit strategy and performance: Evaluate acquisition, underwriting, and line management strategies to optimize risk-adjusted returns and portfolio health.
• Support marketing efficiency: Analyze campaign performance, segmentation, and targeting to improve acquisition economics and customer engagement.
• Contribute to financial planning: Forecast P&L impacts, monitor portfolio trends, and partner with Finance to inform investment and growth decisions.
• Influence with insight: Present findings to senior leaders, using data storytelling to drive alignment and decision-making across teams.
• Innovate in a startup-minded culture: Identify opportunities to improve processes, test new ideas, and help shape a growing analytics organization.
