Key skills for this role
At Parafin, we’re on a mission to grow small businesses. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but traditional banks often don’t have their backs. We build tech that makes it simple for small businesses to access the financial tools they need through the platforms they already sell on. We partner with companies like DoorDash, Amazon, Worldpay, and Mindbody to offer fast and flexible funding, spend management, and savings tools to their small business users via a simple integration. Parafin takes on all the complexity of capital markets, underwriting, servicing, compliance, and customer service for our partners. We’re a tight-knit team of innovators hailing from Stripe, Square, Plaid, Coinbase, Robinhood, CERN, and more — all united by a passion for building tools that help small businesses succeed. Parafin is backed by prominent venture capitalists including GIC, Notable Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Ribbit Capital, and Thrive Capital. Parafin is a Series C company, and we have raised more than $194M in equity and $340M in debt facilities. Join us in creating a future where every small business has the financial tools they need.
We're looking for a Finance Data Lead to sit at the intersection of finance and data engineering on our Finance team. This role requires someone who thinks in queries, models data pipelines, and moves quickly with modern tooling, while also being comfortable discussing a P&L or loan portfolio with senior leadership.
You'll be the go-to person for turning raw financial data into clean, trusted, and actionable outputs — owning everything from ad hoc analyses to scalable reporting infrastructure.
Own financial data workflows end-to-end — from sourcing and transforming raw data (SQL, Python, etc.) to building clean, auditable outputs in Excel or BI tools
Build and maintain financial models and dashboards that track key metrics such as origination volumes, revenue run rates, and portfolio performance
