Business Analysts at Nubank
As a company at the forefront of Brazil's financial revolution, Nubank has experienced exponential growth since its inception. To keep your growth path healthy, numerous critical decisions must be made constantly. Business Analysts are fundamental to the decision-making process because they must not only be able to handle large amounts of information and data, but also consistently think of ways to improve our clients' experience.
It is the BA's responsibility to structure and analyze the data, and use the results to test different solutions to improve Nubank's efficiency.
We are looking for people who are independent and unafraid 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.
About Portfolio Analytics: we own the decision infrastructure in Global Lending: valuation, monitoring, predictions, the AI-first analytical stack, and foundational tests. If a lending decision is made on a number, this team most likely owns how that number is produced.
Our scope covers all programs and products: Unsecured, Secured, PJ, Private Payroll, and New Markets, across BR and MX. Core assets include valuation governance (Photon, predictions, Profeta), the Weekly KPIs and tactical monitoring backbone, GBR and State of Business, the UFTV2 foundational test, and the LCW / Claude analytical workspace.
Challenges ahead: H2 2026 is about scaling the AI-first pivot from this team out to the whole BU, making valuation governance the standard every book runs on, and extending the monitoring backbone beyond BR.
As a Business Analyst, you’re expected to:
Do a lot of investigative work, focused on deciding which data makes the most sense to use in which situation. If you don't have the data, it's your job to think about what tests can be done or how to extract the information you need to answer your questions;
Support your team in making data-based decisions by monitoring analysis and decisions, ensuring the flow of projects and making the process of taking risks comfortable despite the uncertainties;
Learning how to work with a large volume of data to build a solid foundation for decision making with calculated risks - even knowing that not all the answers are in the data and/or that not all the data you would like is available;Use tools like SQL, Python and Scala - taught during your first weeks with us - for data extraction;
Understand our products and interactions with other areas;
Take advantage of opportunities to grow and learn from a well-prepared and highly qualified team;
Opportunity to work in a complex, dynamic and diverse environment, participating in projects that will impact a large number of clients.
