Manager, Data Science Solutions

At Nova Credit, our mission is to power a more fair and inclusive financial system for the world. We are on our way to accomplishing this mission by rewiring the financial industry with better credit infrastructure, analytics, and workflows, enabling more people to access credit opportunities. Our cross-border credit product, Credit Passport®, cash flow underwriting product, Cash Atlas™, and income verification product, Income Navigator, are trusted by over 4,000 companies, including leading organizations like American Express, Verizon, HSBC, SoFi, Scotiabank, and Yardi to help them reach valuable new applicants from traditionally credit excluded populations. With over $100 million raised from Kleiner Perkins, General Catalyst, Index Ventures, Canapi Ventures, YCombinator, and First Round Capital, Nova Credit is revolutionizing the way lending is done. We were recently named in Forbes’ Fintech 50 in 2025 and Built In’s Best Places to Work, 2025.

You will be part of the Go-To-Market team, playing an essential role in engaging and educating our prospects through the sales process. You will serve as a consultative product expert who helps potential clients unlock business value by engaging senior stakeholders on credit policy, product usage, and performance analyses. Internally, you will be well-connected and work cross-functionally with sales, product, and data science. You will engage with our worldwide target audience in the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, and Singapore. 

The ideal candidate will have experience in financial services, including credit risk modeling and credit policy. Ultimately, the Manager of Data Science Solutions will ensure that Nova Credit's prospect base fully understands our product offerings and knows how best to incorporate them into their existing strategies. 

This role is full-time, and up to 25% of the time, travel to Nova Credit offices (New York and San Francisco), prospect sites, and conferences is required. The work location is flexible, but the Eastern Time Zone is strongly preferred. Given the global scope of this role and prospecting needs in the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates, flexibility in work hours is necessary.

Nova Credit offers a dynamic and inclusive work environment where you can meaningfully impact the lives of people historically excluded from the credit system.
