Job Description Company Description Curinos empowers financial institutions to make better, faster, and more profitable decisions through industry-leading proprietary data, technologies, and insights. With decades-long expertise in the financial services industry and a relentless focus on the future, Curinos’ technology and analytics ecosystem allows clients to anticipate customer needs and optimize their go-to-market decisions in an increasingly competitive market. Curinos operates under a hybrid modality. This position is based in the New York City metropolitan area. Job Description Curinos is seeking an Associate to support the Line of Business (LOB) team. This is a data-first role sitting at the intersection of banking intelligence, analytical storytelling, and business strategy. You will work closely with internal teams to transform complex financial datasets into compelling, client-ready narratives that drive decision-making across the organization — combining the rigor of a data analyst with the communication skills of a strategic advisor. The ideal candidate is comfortable living in data, has a strong foundation in SQL and quantitative analysis, brings genuine interest in the financial institutions and financial services space, and knows how to make numbers tell a story. Responsibilities • Query, clean, and analyze large datasets to surface trends in commercial banking, deposit behavior, and support, • Build client-specific analytical stories — translating data into structured, insight-driven narratives that inform strategic decisions, • Develop polished Excel analyses and PowerPoint deliverables that communicate complex findings clearly to both internal teams and external audiences, • Support hypothesis development and testing through rigorous, numbers-driven analysis, • Contribute to the full analytical lifecycle — from defining the problem and structuring the data to designing the output and presenting the findings, • Collaborate with colleagues across the LOB and partner divisions to ensure Curinos is delivering market-leading insights and solutions This role blends analytical depth with strategic communication. You will spend meaningful time in the data — querying, structuring, and analyzing — but equally important is your ability to step back and craft a coherent story from what you find. While you will not be managing client relationships from day one, the work you produce will directly shape client-facing deliverables and you will grow into that external-facing capacity over time. Salary Range: $80,000 - $90,000 (plus Bonus) Desired Skills & Expertise • Strong SQL proficiency — you will use it frequently, • Strong Excel and data analysis skills — you will use it daily, • Polished PowerPoint skills and data storytelling ability — translating analysis into clear, executive-ready outputs, • Background in financial services, economics, business analytics, or a related quantitative field, • Genuine interest in financial institutions and financial services — familiarity with commercial banking or deposit analytics is a strong plus but not required, • Competitive benefits, including a range of financial, health, and lifestyle benefits to choose from, • Flexible working options, including home working, flexible hours, and part-time options depending on role requirements, • Unlimited PTO policy, floating holidays, volunteering days, and a day off for your birthday, • Learning and development tools to support your career growth, • Work with industry-leading Subject Matter Experts and specialist products, • Regular social events and networking opportunities, • Collaborative, supportive culture, including an active DE&I program We know that sometimes the “perfect candidate” doesn’t exist, and that people can be put off applying if they don’t meet all the requirements.

The Programming Assistant Director’s responsibilities include:Ambassadorship, Core Values & Camp CultureAmbassadorship: As a key “architect” of the camp day, you are not just facilitating programming—you are modeling what our mission looks like in action. Through your presence at rallies, transitions, and daily activities, staff and campers see the heartbeat of our camp experience. The way you structure the day, support staff, and activate themes communicates who we are as a camp that leads with purpose, play, and connection.Camp Culture: Programming is one of the strongest drivers of culture at camp. You help shape the tone of the day by designing activities that make campers feel excited, challenged, included, and proud to show up each morning. From theme days to group rituals to closing celebrations, you translate values into experiences that build belonging for both campers and staff.Ambitious: Always look for ways to elevate skill-building, increase engagement, and create more intentional moments of joy and growth. By continuously improving systems and lesson flow, you help your team deliver programming that feels thoughtful, dynamic, and memorable.Positive: As the lead of programming, your tone becomes the tone of camp. Bring energy into huddles, patience into transitions, and encouragement into problem-solving. Positivity helps staff navigate change and helps campers feel safe taking risks and trying new things.Committed: Successful programming requires preparation, follow-through, and ownership of the camper experience. Come ready each day with materials, plans, contingency strategies, and clarity for the team. Your consistency allows the camp day to run smoothly and gives staff the confidence to lean on your leadership.Inclusive: Ensure programming meets every camper where they are. That means adapting activities, modeling inclusive play, and supporting staff as they differentiate instruction. Make sure every child sees themselves reflected in the experience—regardless of skill level, identity, background, or comfort with the activities.Empathetic: Understand that behind every behavior is a need, and behind every need is a developing child.

Job DescriptionProduct Engineer (Full-Stack, Frontend-Leaning) Location: New York City (on-site in the office, relocation supported) Compensation: USD $170,000 – $220,000 + Equity Hiring: Up to 2 engineers Company: Confidential (represented by Worthland) About the Project Our client is a fast-growing, AI-native startup rethinking how a traditionally manual, relationship-driven industry operates at scale. With strong product–market fit, rapid growth, and backing from top-tier investors, the team is building a durable marketplace where AI and product design are core to how the business runs. The product is used daily by power users who rely on it as their primary workflow tool. Speed, clarity, and UX quality matter. This is not a side project or internal tool—it is the company’s core product. The Role As a Product Engineer, you will own the primary user-facing product end-to-end. You will work directly with the founder to decide what to build and why, not just how to implement specs. This is a true product engineering role: high ownership, frequent user feedback, fast iteration, and a strong frontend and UX focus, while still owning the full stack. There is no separate product manager layer. You are expected to think in terms of users, workflows, and outcomes, not tickets. What You’ll Work On Core Product (Primary Focus) • Design and build end-to-end product flows for a complex, high-usage dashboard, • Talk directly with users to understand real workflows, pain points, and edge cases, • Redesign and iterate on core flows to reduce friction and improve speed and clarity, • Improve discovery, filtering, and organization of complex information, • Build intuitive views that surface what matters without overwhelming users, • Collaborate closely with an Applied AI Engineer to integrate AI-powered features into the product, • Build UI and product experiences around AI outputs (summaries, scoring, recommendations), • Contribute to growth-oriented features across activation, engagement, retention, and monetization, • Ship polished, high-quality features with strong attention to interaction details, • Users feel the product is faster, clearer, and easier to use because of what you ship, • Core workflows become simpler and more efficient, • Product decisions are driven by real user behavior, not assumptions, • You are trusted as a product and engineering owner, not just an executor Requirements Must-Have • 4+ years of experience building full-stack products end-to-end, • Strong frontend and product sensibility, with solid backend fundamentals, • Proven experience owning a product surface or workflow, not just isolated features, • Comfort working in fast-moving, low-process environments, • Experience at an early-stage or high-growth product company, • Background building tools for power users (dashboards, CRMs, internal tools), • Experience collaborating closely with founders, • Highly scoped tickets with detailed specs, • Minimal user interaction, • Narrow frontend-only or backend-only ownership, • High ownership over a core product used daily, • Direct access to the founder and real decision-making influence, • Opportunity to shape product direction, not just implement it, • Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and long-term upside Interview Process • Intro Call (30 minutes): High-level screening to assess product mindset, ownership, and mutual interest in the company, role, and stage., • Technical Interview (60 minutes): Open-ended product challenge focused on problem framing, solution design, and tradeoff thinking rather than algorithm trivia., • Behavioral Deep Dive (60 minutes): Discussion of background, values, user empathy, and how the candidate operates in ambiguous, founder-led environments., • On-Site (Full Day): Work through real product problems together in person to evaluate collaboration style, decision-making, and end-to-end product thinking. First 30 Days: What Success Looks Like Week 1 • Talk directly with recruiters and observe how they actually use the product day-to-day, • Dig into real pipelines and workflows to understand pain points and friction, • Identify the biggest usability and efficiency gaps, • Ship meaningful improvements in those focus areas (new features, UX fixes, simplified flows), • Remove friction from core workflows and improve speed and clarity for users, • Begin owning the product roadmap, using the founder as a thought partner rather than a project manager What We Look For (Strong Signals) • Founding or early engineer at a seed / Series A startup who built core product and talked to customers regularly, • Technical founder with clear 0→1 experience and strong customer obsession (regardless of startup outcome), • Product engineer from a product-led growth environment (e.g., Figma-, Notion-, Vercel-style teams) with strong craft and UX sensibility, • Forward Deployed Engineer–type profiles: high agency, customer-facing, and comfortable figuring out what to build on the fly, • Has launched something meaningful from 0→1 (startup, internal product, or substantial side project), • Can clearly explain what they built, why they built it, and the tradeoffs involved, • Comfortable operating without dedicated PMs or with very light product support, • Proactively identifies problems and proposes solutions instead of waiting for tasks, • Has spoken directly with users and changed what they built based on feedback, • Can point to shipped features that moved a real business metric (activation, conversion, retention, or revenue) Not a Fit If You Prefer • Pure backend or infrastructure roles with little exposure to product or users, • Frontend work limited to executing designs without product input, • Highly structured environments with detailed specs and heavy PM ownership, • Being assigned tasks rather than owning problems end-to-end, • Inability to explain the business or user impact of past work, • Needing fully defined requirements before starting and discomfort with changing priorities
