We’re on a mission to back the UK’s small businesses like no one else 🚀

Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and we’re here to help them win. We’ve built a platform that uses clever data to get them the funding they need in minutes, not weeks.

At Funding Circle, we have the restless energy of a fintech start-up with the stability of a public company. It’s a unique mix that gives Circlers the autonomy to take ownership and the scale to make an impact that truly counts.

We’re a high-performing team that chooses to lift each other up. We challenge, we champion, and we have each other’s backs - because we know that when we stand together, we move faster and build better.

The impact is real: Last year alone, the businesses on our platform generated £7.2bn for the UK economy 📈 Come and join a mission that matters!

We are seeking a Data Steward to join our innovative and exceptional data team at Funding Circle. The role sits within our central analytics team but is embedded into our FlexiPay and Credit Card team. This is a key role within the data function where you will have the opportunity to help build and maintain data products that drive data driven decision making. Data is a huge asset of our company and this role helps us evangelise and ensure exceptional data quality.

• Data Quality Advocacy: Define data quality rules and ensure and maintain high quality standards for critical data assets, while evangelising the adoption of the rules within your domain.

• Issue Resolution: Act as the first point of contact when a user says, "This report looks wrong." You'll investigate whether it's a data entry error or a system logic issue.

• Data Lineage & Metadata: Document where data comes from, how it’s transformed, and who is allowed to use it.

• Collaboration: Work with Data Producers and Data Product Managers to adopt policies and to deliver and maintain high quality data products.

• Proactively problem solving: identifying and confidently mitigating any risks, issues or control weaknesses that arise in your day-to-day work.

What we’re looking for

• Passionate about Funding Circle’s values and the mission to support small businesses with their finance needs.

• Subject matter expertise: ideally you have a finance or credit card background working in data analytics or data governance.

• Proficiency in SQL

• Exceptional "translator" skill: You have the ability to explain a technical database error to a VP of Sales and a business requirement to a developer.

• Ideally 3+ years in business analysis, data quality management, or a data-heavy operational role.

We’re building a place where everyone truly feels they belong. Even if your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you.

Why join us? 💜

We back you to build an incredible career. As a flexible-first employer, we use a "best of both" approach. We’ll see you in our London office to collaborate – with barista coffee and subsidised Just Eat lunches on us!

Our Circler Proposition focuses on five areas:

• Flexibility: We provide a benefit allowance you can tailor to your own life and family.

• Health: This includes private medical and dental, health assessments, and access to a digital GP.

• Wealth: We offer life assurance, share schemes, and financial coaching.

• Development: You get a dedicated annual learning allowance to help you level up.

• Lifestyle: We have electric car and cycle-to-work schemes, plus season ticket loans.

We also have award-winning parental leave policies. We're here to support you through the big life moments, from fertility treatments to new additions to the family.
