U.S. Compensation & Benefits
Compensation at Inspire11
Inspire11 follows Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Illinois Human Rights Act, the
Illinois Equal Wage Act, and the Illinois Equal Pay Act of 2003. We believe that people performing the same role at the same
level, with similar levels of ability or experience, should be similarly compensated. We also believe that the most critical
factors driving compensation should be an Eleven’s skill, experience, performance, responsibility, and effort. We may also
consider an employee’s length of service, relevant education, training, or certification, and the requirements of a specific job.
We may also consider whether the cost of living or competition for talent in specific markets requires adjustments in compensation
for employees in those markets. Our goal is to fairly compensate all our Elevens based on these factors within the Company’s
financial ability.
Compensation may be increased or decreased at Inspire11’s discretion based on an employee’s performance reviews, market
conditions, and the Company’s financial performance. Inspire11 will always notify an employee in writing before any change is made
to their compensation.
Bonuses
We may allow employees in Sales, Recruiting, or Leadership to earn periodic bonuses based on sales, revenue, client-specific or
practice-specific targets. These targets are communicated to each eligible employee via offer letter or annual update. All such
target-based bonuses are calculated based on the Company and an individual’s periodic performance and will only be awarded if: (a)
the employee is meeting performance expectations and is an employee in good standing of the Company; (b) the target is met; and
(c) the Company’s current financial performance and market conditions permit the bonus to be paid out. All periodic bonuses are
discretionary and are earned only when paid out.
Each year, the Company will decide whether the Company’s financial performance, market performance, and business realities allow
it to create an annual bonus pool. If the Company decides that annual bonuses may be awarded, then the Leadership Team, Market
Directors, and Managing Directors will work together to grant annual bonuses to employees in good standing based on the same
factors discussed in the previous paragraph while also considering employees’ diligence, performance, expertise, skill, judgment,
and experience. To be eligible to participate in this annual bonus pool, an employee must be hired by no later than October 1st of
the preceding year. Annual bonuses and merit increases may be prorated based on hire date. Employees eligible for target-based
periodic bonuses are not eligible to participate in the annual bonus pool.

The right person is a hands-on player-coach that is comfortable building teams as we invest in building out this competency as a core pillar of our long-term competitive advantage and strategy.

We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas or take over sponsorship at this time. ABOUT THE ROLE: Staying a step ahead of fraudsters takes an inquisitive mind, an appetite to dig deeper, and the imagination to shed new light on how we fight fraud — and here, it all starts with data. As an Analyst on Enova's Fraud Analytics team, you'll be the quantitative engine of our fraud prevention effort. You'll develop, enhance, and test the models and pattern-recognition pipelines that surface emerging fraud trends across our lending products — then work hand-in-hand with our Fraud Operations team, who investigate the individual applications your models flag. Their findings (the false positives and false negatives) come back to you to sharpen the identifying characteristics and pivot the approach. It's a fast, iterative loop, and you sit at the center of it. The broader Enova Analytics department consists of 100 quantitative professionals dedicated to using the latest cutting-edge techniques to drive business value: providing customers with access to fast, trustworthy credit while managing risk. Our company-wide, data-driven culture means you spend less time presenting and more time on the fun part: crunching data. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: * Develop, deploy, and monitor models and pattern-recognition algorithms to detect emerging and shifting fraud trends across one or more lending products * Write customized programs in Python for meaningful data analysis and predictive modeling, and query large, complex datasets in SQL * Partner closely with Fraud Operations through the full detection loop — pulling data together, surfacing suspicious patterns, and incorporating their investigation results to refine features and reduce false positives/negatives * Conduct ad hoc analysis on large, complex datasets to scope new or changing fraud trends and recommend risk, verification, and operational strategies * Communicate findings clearly to cross-functional partners, provide requirements, and support implementation * Help improve underwriting and verification processes from a fraud-risk perspective REQUIREMENTS: * A Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field (Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Computer Science, or similar) or equivalent experience * Solid programming skills for data analysis — demonstrated through work, internships, coursework, or personal projects * Working knowledge of relational databases (SQL) * Foundational knowledge of statistical methods and machine learning * Comfort using AI tools to improve your workflow and delivery * Strong problem-solving instincts and a naturally inquisitive, dig-deeper mindset * Prior experience is not required; fraud, fintech, or lending exposure is a plus, interest in them is a must Compensation: This position includes various levels within our career ladder. The actual annual salary will be determined based on qualifications, skills, experience, and level assessed during the hiring process and may fall outside of the ranges shown. Budgeted annual salary ranges: Analytics Analyst I: $63,000 - $83,000 Analytics Analyst II: $75,000 - $95,000 Additional compensation for this role may include a bonus.
