What you'll do
- Own the end-to-end analytics charter for one or more UPI surfaces — from metric definition to instrumentation to insight generation
- Build and maintain the source-of-truth framework for north-star and guardrail metrics across the UPI funnel (initiation, authentication, success/failure, retention)
- Partner with NPCI-mandated reporting requirements and ensure analytical rigor aligns with regulatory data standards
- Lead a team of analysts, setting priorities, reviewing outputs, and raising the bar on analytical craft
- Diagnose friction points across the UPI journey using deep-dive analysis, cohort studies, and funnel decomposition
- Build engagement, frequency, and top-of-wallet models to inform product and growth strategy
- Design analytical frameworks for discovery and nudge effectiveness as new UPI capabilities are adopted
- Partner with design and product research to combine quantitative and qualitative signals into a single narrative
- Define and monitor SLA, success-rate, and latency benchmarks; build alerting and anomaly-detection frameworks tied to these metrics
- Build root-cause analysis playbooks for payment failure spikes and incident-linked drop-offs
- Model traffic and failure patterns ahead of high-volume events (festive seasons, IPL, government disbursements) to support platform readiness
- Own the experimentation backbone — design, power, and evaluate A/B tests across the UPI funnel
What they're looking for
- 7–9 years of analytics/data experience, with a mandatory focus on consumer-facing products or fintech; prior experience in payments or UPI strongly preferred
- Strong command of SQL and hands-on experience with product analytics tools (Mixpanel, Amplitude, Metabase, or equivalent); working knowledge of Python/R for deeper statistical analysis
- Solid grounding in experimentation design — hypothesis framing, sample size/power calculations, and interpreting A/B results correctly
- Proven ability to translate ambiguous business questions into structured analyses and clear, decision-ready recommendations
- Experience building and owning dashboards and metrics frameworks at scale, including data quality and governance practices
- Strong written and verbal communication skills — ability to present findings crisply to leadership and align cross-functional stakeholders
- Experience managing or mentoring a team of analysts, with a demonstrated ability to review work and raise analytical standards
Nice to have
- Prior experience working in a UPI-regulated environment or with NPCI data/reporting constructs
- Exposure to large-scale transaction data systems and familiarity with data warehousing/pipeline concepts (e.g., working with data engineering teams on instrumentation)
- Experience with growth, lifecycle, or CRM-driven analytics
- Familiarity with fraud/risk analytics in a payments context
