Data Analyst
At Mollie, we’re on a mission to make payments and money management effortless for every business in Europe. We started 20 years ago when we launched a more direct, affordable way for companies to get paid. That provided an alternative to the frustrating, overpriced solutions that banks offered at the time.
Today, we serve more than 250,000 businesses across Europe with an all-in-one solution that simplifies payments and money management. And we’re a 850-strong team of product, finance, support, commerce, and engineering specialists working across Europe – from Lisbon to London.
Your Opportunity We're looking for an experienced and motivated Data Analyst to lead the analytical efforts of our Real-time Fraud Monitoring Team.

You'll use your technical skills to design, build, and optimise intricate data pipelines and analytical solutions for fraud detection. You'll work with Mollie's complex, real-time data flows, transforming raw data into actionable insights that directly combat financial crime and enable swift risk decisions.
You'll play a key role in driving impactful solutions from concept to deployment, partnering closely with our engineering, product, and operations teams to ensure our analytical capabilities are seamlessly integrated. Your efforts will directly contribute to protecting our account holders, turning data into the shield that safeguards our business.
