Marketing Analyst (Remote optional)
The Petal mission
Petal’s mission is to bring financial opportunity and innovation to everyone.
We're pioneering a new approach to credit, by analyzing an applicant’s banking history, in addition to credit history, to determine their creditworthiness. We call this technology a Cash Score — and it takes into account income, spending, and savings. It’s currently helping thousands of people qualify for credit at better rates, even if they’ve never had it before.
We bring the same ingenuity to our credit card products. Our simple and intuitive app gives members access to credit score tracking, budgeting tools, subscription management, and automated payment options—everything they need to make financial progress.
Now more than ever, Americans need help improving their credit safely, responsibly, and affordably. If this sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, apply now, and let’s change this trillion-dollar industry together.
At Petal, we're looking for people with kindness, positivity, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and potential will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Petal, we welcome diverse perspectives from people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions.
The Marketing Analyst role
Data is at the core of what we do at Petal. With our proprietary cashflow underwriting model, we rely on using alternative data sources to make decisions that affect our customers’ abilities to purchase an engagement ring, go on a vacation, or even just put food on the table. We are looking for a strong data-driven analyst who is interested in working across various teams. You will help make decisions across Petal by investigating the most effective ways to acquire and engage our customers, build an enduring consumer financial services technology brand, and determine which features to prioritize. This is a key role that will help us better understand consumer behavior, now and in the future.
