Product Data Analyst - Acquiring Operations

NMI is looking for a highly analytical and data-obsessed Product Data Analyst to help power decision-making across our acquiring operations and merchant lifecycle products. This role sits at the intersection of product, operations, and business intelligence — transforming large datasets into actionable insights that improve operational efficiency, merchant growth, product adoption, and financial performance.

You’ll partner closely with Product Managers, Operations, Engineering, Sales, Finance, and Support teams to deliver analytics and reporting across NMI’s acquiring ecosystem, including ISO management, Merchant Central, ScanX, business capital solutions, and other operational extensions.

This is an ideal role for someone who loves diving deep into data, building scalable reporting frameworks, uncovering trends and anomalies, and translating complex operational metrics into clear business insights. Strong SQL skills and a passion for data visualization through Tableau are essential.

If you thrive in fast-paced fintech environments and enjoy solving complex operational and product problems through data, we’d love to hear from you.
