ChaseNet Data Scientist

About ChaseNet

ChaseNet is JPMorganChase's proprietary closed-loop payments network that connects Chase-issued cardholders directly with merchants acquired by Chase Merchant Services. By routing eligible transactions through a single Chase-owned rail rather than the traditional open-loop network, ChaseNet simplifies the economics of card acceptance, enables customized pricing constructs, and delivers richer transaction data to both merchants and the firm. ChaseNet supports some of the largest merchants in the United States and plays a central role in Chase's merchant services growth strategy.

As a ChaseNet Data Scientist, Associate in the ChaseNet Analytics team, you will work with large and complex payments datasets to generate insights that inform pricing strategy, merchant profitability, portfolio performance, and strategic decision-making.

- Develop analytical frameworks and models to evaluate pricing scenarios, interchange impacts, repricing opportunities, and merchant business cases.
- Partner with product, pricing, finance, and relationship management teams to translate business questions into structured analyses and clear recommendations.
- Write efficient, well-documented SQL and Python code to extract, process, and analyze data from large-scale payments platforms.
- Support governance, quality control, and process improvement across analytics workflows, including automation and documentation.
- Communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences through written narratives, visualizations, and presentations.
- Contribute to innovation initiatives, including the use of AI and emerging technologies to improve analytical capabilities and decision support.
