Job Description
About Tala
At Tala, we’re applying advanced technology and human creativity to solve what legacy institutions can’t or won’t. We are a global financial infrastructure company on a mission to unleash the economic power of the global majority, recognizing that today’s financial infrastructure doesn’t work for most of the world’s population.
We’re the first and only platform to combine the intelligence of a credit bureau, the payments execution of a fintech, and the relationship expertise of a bank into one vertically integrated solution. Our platform is powered by an expansive moat of proprietary data and AI/ML decisioning technology, enabling us to deliver instant, reliable liquidity personalized to every customer’s needs. Through our flagship credit app, we’ve disbursed over $7 billion in credit to more than 12 million customers across Latin America, Southeast Asia, and East Africa. These customers have leveraged Tala products to start and expand small businesses, manage day-to-day needs, and pursue their financial goals.
Our pioneering work and proven impact have earned us consistent recognition, including being named to:
CNBC’s Disruptor 50 for five years.
CNBC’s World’s Top Fintech Companies for two consecutive years.
Forbes’ Fintech 50 list for nine consecutive years.
Visionary investors, persuaded by the economic power of the global majority, have committed half a billion dollars in equity and debt to Tala’s success.
Given the global nature of our team, we operate on a remote-first approach with office hubs in Santa Monica, CA (HQ); Nairobi, Kenya; Mexico City, Mexico; Manila, the Philippines; and Bangalore, India.
Most Talazens join us because they connect with our mission. If you are energized by the impact you can make at Tala, we’d love to hear from you!
The Role
The Senior Product Analyst is a strategic partner to Product, Engineering, and Design, responsible for shaping product direction through rigorous analysis, strong product intuition, and deep ownership of metrics, instrumentation, and experimentation. This role combines analytical depth with product thinking, enabling teams to understand user behavior, validate hypotheses, identify growth opportunities, and make high-quality decisions at speed. The Senior Product Analyst operates autonomously, leads analytical strategy for their product area, and ensures that the product team has a robust, batteries-included analytical foundation.
What You’ll Do
- Drive end-to-end analytical discovery: define questions, shape hypotheses, perform root-cause analysis, and identify second-order effects
- Produce high-context, narrative-driven analysis that shapes product decisions—not just dashboards or metrics reporting
- Design tracking plans and instrumentation schemas; work with engineering to ensure correct implementation
- Implement automated alerting and monitoring to surface health issues, funnel breaks, outliers, and behavior shifts in real time
- Lead the design, execution, and interpretation of experiments (A/B tests, multivariate tests, staggered rollouts)
- Select and apply appropriate statistical techniques (frequentist/Bayesian, CUPED, time-series methods).
What You’ll Need
- 5–8 years in product analytics, data science, or growth analytics with extensive product-team experience
- Proven track record influencing product roadmaps with evidence-based insights
- Expert SQL; fluency with Snowflake or equivalent cloud data warehouses
- Strong experimental design and statistical analysis skills
- Familiarity with event-based instrumentation and telemetry platforms
- Competence with data visualization tools and dashboards (Looker, Metabase, etc.)
Our vision is to build a new financial ecosystem where everyone can participate on equal footing and access the tools they need to be financially healthy. We strongly believe that inclusion fosters innovation and we’re proud to have a diverse global team that represents a multitude of backgrounds, cultures, and experience. We hire talented people regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
