Senior Data Analyst

About Us

Tamara is the leading fintech platform in Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC region with a mission to help people make their dreams come true by building the most customer-centric financial super-app on earth. The company serves millions of users in the region and partners with leading global and regional brands such as SHEIN, Jarir, noon, IKEA and Amazon, as well as small and medium businesses.

Tamara is Saudi Arabia’s first fintech unicorn and is backed by Sanabil Investments, a wholly owned company by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), SNB Capital, Checkout.com, amongst others. The company operates from its headquarters in Riyadh, with additional regional and global support offices.

This role lies at the intersection of analytics engineering, data & product analytics encompassing dbt modelling, funnel visibility and instrumentation, product launch-readiness, SAMA regulatory and leadership-facing insights & recommendation via data driven decision making. This is not a dashboard-maintenance role. We need a Senior Data Analyst who can work through ambiguity, partner with Product and Engineering, build reliable data foundations, and turn complex business questions into a clear analytical direction. The ideal candidate is a strong initiator and doer, someone who does not wait for a task list, but can identify gaps, structure the problem, build the analysis, and drive stakeholders toward a decision.

The successful candidate will have experience developing analytical solutions and assisting with data-driven decision making, while managing stakeholders across a broad range of functions. Tamara is a high growth startup looking to develop key product success metrics and enhancing decision making through data.
