About The Company
About Cleo
At Cleo, we're not just building another fintech app. We're embarking on a mission to fundamentally change humanity's relationship with money. Imagine a world where everyone, regardless of background or income, has access to a hyper-intelligent financial advisor in their pocket. That's the future we're creating.
Cleo is a rare success story: a profitable, fast-growing unicorn with over $300 million in ARR and growing over 2x year-over-year. This isn't just a job; it's a chance to join a team of brilliant, driven individuals who are passionate about making a real difference. We have an exceptionally high bar for talent, seeking individuals who are not only at the top of their field but also embody our culture of collaboration and positive impact.

About The Role
We’re hiring a Senior / Lead Data Scientist, 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.
You’ll own the reporting and tooling that underpin our capital markets relationships — from covenant compliance and concentration monitoring to performance pacing and drawdown requests. Your work will ensure Cleo can both meet its obligations to lenders and scale access to capital with confidence.
This role sits within Strategic Finance and partners directly with Debt Capital Markets, FP&A, and Data teams. You’ll be responsible for building the systems, controls, and reporting frameworks that keep investors fully informed, while also making our internal capital allocation processes more automated and efficient.
If you thrive on detail, precision, and building infrastructure that lenders can trust, this role gives you the opportunity to shape how Cleo manages and grows its access to capital.
