Senior Associate, Card Acquisition Risk and Strategic Analytics

Join a team at the center of one of the most iconic brands in financial services - the Chase Branded Cards including Sapphire franchise and other premium card products. Here, your analytical curiosity will directly shape how JPMorgan Chase acquires and grows its affluent customer base. You'll turn complex data into strategies that influence products used by millions of customers, working alongside Product, Marketing, Finance, and Risk leaders. This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of risk and growth, helping define the next chapter of premium card innovation. If you thrive on solving ambiguous, high-impact business problems with data, this role is built for you.

As a Senior Associate in Card Acquisition Risk Analytics within Chase Card Services Risk, you generate data-driven analytics and recommendations that shape strategy, product development, and performance monitoring for the Chase-branded card portfolio, with particular focus on the Sapphire franchise and new product launches targeting affluent customers. You will shape credit card acquisition strategies for the affluent segment through advanced analytics, customer insights, experimentation, and data-driven decision making.
This role is well suited to candidates from quantitative and analytics disciplines beyond traditional risk management including consulting, business analytics, data science, finance, or marketing analytics.
