Data Analyst (Payments)

We’re Teya, a payment and software service provider headquartered in London serving small, local businesses across Europe. Founded in 2019, we build easy‑to‑use, integrated tools that enable our members to accept payments and boost business performance. We’re looking for a Payments Data Analyst to join our London team. You will take ownership of the payments data layer, working at the intersection of Product, Commercial, and Engineering to ensure our acquiring business is measurable, scalable, and optimized for performance.

Your Responsibilities

• Act as the subject matter expert for the payments data lifecycle, covering authorisation, clearing, settlement, and reconciliation.
• Go beyond standard reporting by delivering unprompted insights.
• Diagnose root causes of changes in authorisation rates and identify margin leakage driven by transaction mix or fee structures.
• Work closely with Product Managers to define success metrics for new features and support Commercial teams with merchant‑level profitability analysis and pricing scenarios.
• Own the “single source of truth” for key payments metrics (volumes, revenue, margins).
• Collaborate with Engineering to define tracking requirements and proactively identify and resolve data gaps.
• Build and maintain a robust semantic layer on top of payments data, ensuring consistent metric definitions across the business and enabling AI‑driven workflows and Snowflake Cortex use cases.
• Develop scalable data models in dbt and create Tableau dashboards that empower stakeholders to self‑serve insights, while you focus on deeper strategic analysis.
• Translate complex terminal, POS, and eCommerce data into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders to inform product roadmap and pricing decisions.

Must Have

• 2+ years of experience in a Data Analytics role within Payments, Acquiring, or FinTech.
• Strong understanding of the card transaction lifecycle (Authorisation, Clearing, Settlement).
• Familiarity with fee structures (Interchange, Scheme Fees, Blended vs IC+ pricing).
• Strong proficiency in SQL and Tableau (or equivalent BI tool).
• Hands‑on experience with dbt and data modelling.
• Familiarity with Git and cloud data environments (e.g., Snowflake, AWS).
• Strong analytical mindset with a focus on root cause analysis and experimentation.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence cross‑functional stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with Card‑Present / POS terminal data.
• Knowledge of chargebacks and dispute processes.
• Proficiency in Python for modelling or advanced analysis.
• Experience with pricing optimisation or portfolio segmentation.
• Exposure to international payment schemes and local payment methods.

The Perks

• Physical and mental health support through our partnership with GymPass, including access to gyms, therapy, meditation, and wellness apps.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave policies.
• Cycle‑to‑Work Scheme.
• Private Health and Life Insurance.
• Pension Scheme.
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays.
• Daily office snacks.
• Friendly, collaborative, and informal office environment in Central London.
