About Upstart
At Upstart , we’re united by a mission that matters: to radically reduce the cost and complexity of borrowing for all Americans. Every day, we bring creativity, experimentation, and advanced AI to reshape access to credit, helping millions move forward financially with clarity and confidence.
As the leading AI lending marketplace, we partner with banks and credit unions to expand access to affordable credit through technology that’s both radically intelligent and deeply human. Our platform runs over one million predictions per borrower using more than 3,000 signals, powering smarter, fairer decisions for millions of customers. But the numbers only hint at the impact. Every idea, every voice, and every contribution moves us closer to a world where credit never stands between people and their financial progress.
We’re proudly digital-first, giving most Upstart ers the flexibility to do their best work from wherever they thrive, alongside teammates across 80+ cities in the US and Canada. Digital-first doesn’t mean distant. We’re intentional about in-person connection through team onsites, planning sessions, and moments that spark creativity and trust. And whether you choose to work primarily from home or collaborate in-person from one of our offices in Columbus, Austin, the Bay Area, or New York City, you’ll have the support to work in the way that works best for you.
If you’re energized by tackling meaningful problems, excited to innovate with purpose, and motivated by work that truly matters, we’d love to hear from you.
The Team:
Upstart ’s Investor Analytics team plays a pivotal role in securing capital, a critical function that powers our business. We deliver the analytical insight and technical capability behind how institutional capital partners understand and price Upstart ’s credit performance, working across Capital Markets, Lending Partnerships, Machine Learning, Product, and Finance to keep that view accurate and current. Our priority right now is putting the credit groundwork in place for HELOC, Upstart ’s home equity product as we go to market to raise capital,
As the Staff Analyst, Investor Analytics at Upstart , you will own the credit and performance story for our HELOC business end to end, building the performance data, automated monitoring, and recurring reporting that let us speak with authority about how the book is performing. You will partner closely with our Capital Markets, Lending Partnership, Machine Learning, and Product teams, work directly with some of the top institutional capital providers in the industry, and help model and steer deal strategy for our capital partners. We build with AI: the team uses agentic coding tools such as Claude Code and Codex daily to automate our credit pipelines, monitoring, and reporting, so more of your time goes to analysis and judgment and less to plumbing.
How you’ll make an impact
Partner with Capital Markets and Lending Partnerships : Engage directly with capital investors to showcase the strength of Upstart ’s platform, build lasting confidence, and craft tailored capital solutions for our home equity program.
Own the credit performance narrative : Be the go-to voice on how the HELOC portfolio is performing — arrears and roll rates, vintage and cohort loss curves, model calibration and feature importance — and explain clearly to investors, partners, and internal leadership what is driving results and what it implies for forward risk.
Deliver recurring performance reporting : Produce the yield, default, and prepayment views that our capital partners and internal teams rely on, on a reliable cadence, and use them to help model and steer deal strategy.
Build credit intelligence infrastructure with AI : Develop the foundational financial models, data pipelines, and automated monitoring behind our credit reporting, using agentic AI tools such as Claude Code and Codex to build and maintain them so insights arrive faster and more reliably.
Collaborate across teams : Work hand-in-hand with Machine Learning, Product, Engineering, and Finance on HELOC to shape credit metrics, craft compelling narratives, and develop financial forecasts, driving alignment on the state of the product.
Mentor and elevate the team : Support junior team members while fostering a culture of excellence in data, credit, and analytics, positioning the team as a hub of expertise and innovation.
Minimum Qualifications

Credit Analytics Expertise : Background in credit analytics with hands-on proficiency in Python, and SQL, and demonstrated experience analyzing and explaining portfolio credit performance, including delinquency and arrears, roll rates, vintage loss curves, and model calibration.

Proven Cross-Functional Collaboration : Exceptional track record of building partnerships with cross-functional teams, particularly in Finance, Product, Data Engineering, and Machine Learning, to align on strategy and drive impactful outcomes.
Executive-Level Storytelling : Skilled at translating complex business and performance insights into compelling, executive-ready narratives, using data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, or Looker to influence strategic decisions at the C-suite level.
Home Equity or Mortgage Background : Familiarity with HELOC, home equity, or mortgage credit, including collateral valuation, lien position, CLTV, and property-level risk drivers. Consumer credit experience is the foundation for this role; home-secured experience is an added advantage.
Financial Modeling and Deal Analytics : Experience building financial models, particularly lending cash flows, book-level profitability, or valuation, and using them to support pricing, structuring, or deal strategy decisions with capital partners. Familiarity with consumer credit capital markets, private credit, or structured products is helpful here.
Comfort with AI-Assisted Development : Experience using agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or similar to build and maintain analytics pipelines, automate recurring reporting, or accelerate exploratory analysis.
