<div class="content-intro">At Koalafi, we believe in a world where no one has to put an important purchase on hold. That’s why we’re making it easier for more people to pay for big purchases over time. Retailers across the country rely on us to offer flexible lease-to-own financing to their non-prime consumers, while increasing sales and strengthening customer loyalty. Their 2M+ customers love us because we provide a flexible way for them to make payments and give them an opportunity to improve their credit. Our 200+ Koalafi teammates enjoy inspiring and challenging work that accelerates their careers. Interested in learning more about how we’re transforming the financing experience and joining our team?</div>About the Opportunity  Koalafi is seeking a Senior Business Analyst to join our Consumer and Merchant Analytics team, which supports analytics across Sales, Product, Marketing, and Compliance.  This role will primarily support our Sales organization. You will own a set of key recurring weekly and monthly deliverables, while playing a key role in building out better reporting, forecasting, and a deeper understanding of how to enable our sales team to operate more efficiently. This is as much a build role as it is an execution role; we're looking for someone who will make the recurring work faster and sharper, not just keep it running.  Beyond sales, you'll support the rest of the team's partners — most often Product — with work tied to long-term company plans, including feature rollouts and the testing and measurement plans behind new launches.   Responsibilities  <ul>
