Toronto

We’re redefining the future of business spend and looking for talent with a bias for action and real impact.

A diverse group of ambitious, collaborative and mission-driven people. We’re building an AI-first, deeply impact-focused culture where exceptional people do the best work of their careers.

How we work

At Float, we build products that give teams control and autonomy over their spending. And we approach work the same way.

That means we trust people to own their work end-to-end: clear goals, real responsibility and the freedom to decide how to get there. There’s little red tape and lots of focus time, so you can do deep, meaningful work.

Everyone at Float is a builder and an owner. We ship quickly, learn continuously and are constantly looking for ways to improve.

In short, we give our customers control over their finances and our team control over their work. We believe that’s how great products (and great companies) get built.

Our values

Float leads with values. They define how we make decisions, show up for our customers and build Float—every single day.

Put customers first, always

At Float, we start with what’s best for customers and work backwards. Customers are the heart of Float. Everything else builds from here.

Be an owner, not a renter

Float is a high-performance culture where we take full responsibility for our results. We don’t wait for permission. We drive forward with accountability.

Make big bold bets

We think big at Float. In our roles, we take smart risks. If we want 10x outcomes, we act with 10x ambition.

Raise the bar

We raise the bar constantly—on ourselves, each other and how we operate—to accelerate our business and deepen customer impact. How we operated in the past doesn’t dictate how we operate in the future.

Constantly learn and grow

Float team members show up every day with a growth mindset. We are intellectually curious truth-seekers and are constantly in pursuit of personal growth.

Win together

Success is a team sport. We elevate each other and celebrate the glue work that is required as we scale. We know how to run fast, building alignment as we go.

Built for Canadians, by Canadians. We’ve brought together product thinkers, engineers, designers, finance experts and more—all committed to creating a current,



streamlined way to manage financial operations.

About Float

Float is on a mission to simplify finance for Canadian businesses, empowering them to eliminate complexity and unlock new opportunities. Through our innovative platform, Float enables businesses to streamline financial operations and optimize cash flow, so they can focus on what matters most: growth.

As one of Canada’s fastest growing companies and top-rated startups in 2025, 2024 and 2023, Float is customer-obsessed, passionate and entrepreneurial, with a team that includes leaders from Uber, Stripe, Shopify, Top Hat, Ada, Doordash, Snowflake, and Wealthsimple.

At Float, everyone is an owner, bringing their unique perspective to our team and product. Your voice is important, and we take having a culture based on feedback seriously. We openly share our thoughts and differing opinions so we can continue to improve. We do our best to keep our decision-making decentralized so that all team members feel ownership in our success.

Trusted by more than 7,500 Canadian companies, Float provides high-limit corporate cards, automated expense management, next-day bill payments, high-yield accounts, and industry-leading support, all built in Canada, for Canada. Float recently announced our $85 million Series C , and is backed by world-class investors, including Inovia Capital, Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, OMERS Ventures, and Silicon Valley Bank.

Our team is a collection of ambitious, collaborative and mission-driven people from all walks of life but with one goal: helping Canadian companies not just survive but thrive. And we’re looking for bold innovators to help shape the future of business finance in Canada.

AI Use in Our Hiring Process

We use technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to support parts of our hiring process. This may include AI-assisted scheduling and candidate communications, and AI-generated interview notes, guides or summaries to help our team focus on the conversation. All hiring decisions are made by our hiring team.

About the Role

Float runs on data — and this role exists to make sure the business can see itself clearly.

As our Data Analyst, Business Intelligence, you'll be the connective tissue between our data infrastructure and the decisions that leadership, Finance, RevOps, and GTM teams make every day. This isn't a support queue role — it's a strategic BI function. You'll own our reporting layer: designing, building, and governing the dashboards, metrics, and self-serve tools that let Float's teams move faster and with more confidence.

You'll sit on the data team and work in close partnership with our Analytics Engineer, translating business questions into durable data products — not one-off answers. Where the analytics engineer builds the models and the pipelines, you build the intelligence layer on top: the dashboards, the metrics definitions, the reporting cadences, and the frameworks that turn clean data into business clarity.

You're also someone who is curious and treats AI as a genuine part of how you work — using it to move faster, build more, and stretch the bounds of what a data team can actually do.

You'll report to the Head of Data and partner closely with Finance, RevOps, GTM, Sales, and the Chief of Staff.

What You'll Be Doing

Design, build, and maintain Float's core dashboards and reporting infrastructure — audit for quality, assign ownership, archive stale content, and set the standard for what good looks like

Work closely with the Analytics Engineer to translate business requirements into data models — write clear specs, validate outputs, and drive metric definition alignment across stakeholders before anything gets built

Use AI as a force multiplier — not just for drafting SQL, but for building self-serve tooling,



scaling analysis and making BI more accessible to non-technical stakeholders. You bring the business context that makes AI outputs actually useful, and you know where the guardrails need to go.

Define and maintain Float's authoritative metrics library — what they measure, how they're calculated, and who owns them; surface and resolve discrepancies when Finance and RevOps aren't working from the same number

Partner with the Chief of Staff and Head of Data on QBRs, board prep, and performance reporting; turn leadership questions into clean analysis, and run exploratory deep dives to answer specific questions

Build a self-serve BI environment that reduces dependence on the data team — verified dashboards, documented metrics, and Metabase collections that Finance, Ops, Support, and Sales can navigate without filing a ticket

Flag data model gaps and quality issues to the analytics engineer; help prioritize infrastructure work based on business impact

What Success Looks Like

Land and Stabilize: BI and metric governance has a clear DRI — existing dashboards have been audited for accuracy and relevance, every key metric and report has a named owner, and outdated content has been archived.

Build the Infrastructure: The BI environment is structured and trustworthy — dashboards are verified, collections are logically organized, and AI has been used to build or scale something the team couldn't have done with headcount alone.

Enable the Flywheel: Self-serve is meaningfully better and ad-hoc request volume reflects it. Leadership is making faster decisions because they have someone who understands both the data and the business context.

What We're Looking For

2–4+ years of experience as a BI or business analyst, ideally at a high-growth fintech or SaaS company

Strong SQL — CTEs, window functions, aggregations; you write clean queries and can explain them to a non-technical stakeholder

Deep experience in a BI tool (Metabase, Looker, Tableau, or Sigma) — you've owned a BI environment.

Comfortable reading dbt models and understanding data lineage; prior dbt experience is not necessary but ability to contribute to dbt project is expected

Comfortable using AI tools as an accelerator — LLMs for SQL drafting, documentation, or structuring analysis; you know where they're useful and where they need guardrails

Structured thinker who turns ambiguous questions into clear analytical frames — and doesn't wait to be handed one. You spot what's worth investigating and drive it yourself.

Strong written communication — your analysis only lands if the narrative does

Proactive and collaborative — you share context before being asked and work with the analytics engineer, not around them

Genuinely curious about the business, not just the data

Experience supporting a senior audiences is a strong plus

Familiarity with Snowflake or a similar cloud warehouse is a plus

Python experience is a plus, particularly for automation or analysis outside of SQL

Our Hiring Philosophy

We hire for character, curiosity, and learning velocity before credentials. Titles matter less than impact, and every hire is expected to raise the bar for Float as a whole.

Why You Should Join

Work at one of Canada's fastest-growing fintech companies

Make a real impact in a high-autonomy, high-growth role
