Description

London
4 days/week in office
9 Month Fixed-Term Contract

  • Are you a senior analyst who thinks strategically about data and can influence how an organisation uses it to make decisions?
  • Are you someone who can step into an established portfolio of work at pace and set the bar for how we manage data quality, governance and insight?
  • If you've operated at Principal or Lead Analyst level in fintech or a regulated, data-heavy industry, and you're energised by moving between hands-on analysis to acting as a strategic partner to the business, this could be the role.

Who We Are

Modulr is the payments automation platform that streamlines money movement with accuracy, control and reliability – built to scale. We process more than 200m transactions and over £180bn in payment value on an annualised basis, and we're trusted by over 6,000 businesses from fast-growing SMEs to global enterprises.

We automate how money moves into and out of a business – payroll, supplier payments, spend management and payment collection – through a single platform, connected to the accounting and payroll systems finance teams already use and underpinned by principal memberships of Visa and Mastercard and direct access to central bank infrastructure.

As a regulated payments provider with over a decade of experience, we're the platform finance teams trust to run mission-critical operations. Modulr is backed by PayPal, FIS, General Atlantic, Blenheim Chalcot, Frog Capital and Highland Europe, with over 400 employees across London, Edinburgh, Amsterdam and Mumbai.

What You'll Do

Data Analysis & Strategic Insight

  • Lead the synthesis of complex, multi-source data to drive organisation-wide insight and shape high-level strategic decision-making.

Stakeholder Leadership & Communication

  • Act as a trusted voice and influencer across the business, engaging stakeholders directly to shape organisational data strategy and decision-making.

Data Governance & Strategy

  • Provide strategic oversight of data management across Modulr, define governance standards and policy, and contribute to the long-term data strategy.

Data Quality & Standards

  • Set and champion organisational standards for data modelling, quality assurance, validation, and enrichment — and develop best practice frameworks that others follow.

Data Visualisation & Insight Communication

  • Set the standard for how we visualise and communicate data insights, leading the strategic direction of the practice across teams.

Team Leadership & Mentoring

  • Mentor and develop analysts on the team, building capability and raising the quality of analytical work during a period of leadership transition.

Who You Are

What you'll need

  • Proven experience operating at Principal, Lead or Senior Analyst level, ideally within fintech, payments or another regulated, data-intensive industry.
  • A track record of translating complex data into insight that genuinely shapes data-driven decisions across an organisation.
  • Deep expertise in data modelling, quality assurance and visualisation, with the confidence and judgement to set standards rather than just follow them.
  • Strong statistical and analytical grounding — you're comfortable moving between hands-on analysis and strategic oversight.
  • The ability to step into an established team and portfolio of work at short notice, with the confidence to keep initiatives moving without an extended ramp-up period.

Nice to have

  • Experience mentoring and developing analytical teams, especially during periods of transition or change.
  • Exposure to high-stakes, high-visibility data challenges in a fast-growing, regulated fintech or financial services business.
