About The Role We’re hiring a Senior Data Analyst, Strategic Finance (Capital Markets). This is a hands-on, high-responsibility role focused on ensuring Cleo’s debt facilities are managed with rigour, transparency, and data integrity.

Your work will ensure Cleo can both meet its obligations to lenders and scale access to capital with confidence.

Audit-Ready Reporting: Ensure all reporting and data governance standards meet lender expectations, external audit requirements, and internal controls. Cross-Functional Partnering: Work with FP&A, Data, and Finance Ops to integrate facility reporting into Cleo’s broader forecasting, cash planning, and financial strategy.

Excellent SQL skills Hands-on experience with BI tools (e.g. Looker, Mode, Tableau) and data workflow tools (dbt, Airflow). A solid grasp of financial and operational metrics—ideally having worked closely with FP&A, Strategic Finance, or similar teams. Familiarity with credit exposures and facility-level reporting — understanding how utilisation, concentration, and covenant tests drive capital markets relationships. Experience supporting multiple debt facilities or investor stakeholders, ensuring reporting is accurate, consistent, and compliant across different structure. A bias for action and ownership—you’re excited to build from scratch, own it end-to-end, and deliver value fast. Strong communication skills, with the ability to work fluidly across technical and non-technical teams.
