Senior Lead Analyst

Job Description

Senior Lead Analyst who thrives at the intersection of data, analytics, and business strategy.

Unlike many banking organizations where analytics sits within IT, this team reports directly into the business. As a result, analysts operate as strategic partners to business leaders, helping drive decisions across customer growth, profitability, pricing, segmentation, and overall business performance.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly visible and rapidly growing team that is currently undergoing significant transformation and investment. The environment is often described as a "startup within a bank"—ideal for someone who enjoys building processes, navigating ambiguity, and solving complex business problems rather than simply executing predefined requirements.

Work closely with Product, Finance, Strategy, and Operations teams.

Facilitate conversations between technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Help business partners understand trends, opportunities, and risks within their data.

Drive data-informed decision making across the organization.

• Partner with senior business leaders to identify opportunities and solve complex business challenges.
• Analyze customer behavior, banking products, profitability, pricing trends, and business performance.
• Translate complex datasets into clear, actionable insights and recommendations.
• Develop executive-ready presentations that influence strategic decisions.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to business stakeholders across U.S. Banking.

• Write and optimize SQL queries to extract

The successful candidate is equally comfortable discussing business strategy and writing SQL queries.

This is not a role for:

• Candidates who are purely technical and only want to talk about programming languages.
• Candidates who are purely business-focused but lack analytical depth.

Instead, BMO is seeking someone who can:

• Understand the business problem
• Analyze the data
• Generate insights
• Communicate findings in a way that drives action
