We're developing a ground-breaking product with our customers at the heart of everything we do. We have funding from the biggest names in tech investment, and a visionary C-suite who wants everyone who joins this remarkable adventure, to have the opportunity to masterfully develop their expertise.

Welcome to Curve. On a mission to help you live inspired.

Role Purpose

We're looking for experienced product analysts who can build strong relationships with stakeholders to identify and explore opportunities our customers will love. We have a 1-1 product team to analyst ratio, which means you'll be embedded in one of our product teams and will act as the product manager's go-to person to help drive feature development and direction through your insights and product knowledge. You will work across the whole product lifecycle including feature selection, experimentation, hypothesis creation, event implementation and impact analysis. Crucially, you are not just someone who pulls figures or just builds dashboards, you will be adding valuable insight to help drive data-led decisions within the organisation. Proactiveness rather than reactiveness is the aim of the game.

You will take your lead in day-to-day operations from the product manager, but report functionally to the Head of Analytics who will assist career development and work with you to ensure you stay up to date with the latest analytical developments.

We partner with our data engineering and analytics engineering teams and share the workload of data tracking, modelling and cleaning. Moreover, we are different from most startup analytics teams in that we spend most of our time in research mode, essentially exploring and interpreting data (the fun stuff!). This ultimately means that your main focus will be on proactive discovery deep dives, along with recommendations that influence roadmaps. You can expect to be closely involved in the launch of exciting new products, create a pipeline of product opportunities, grow revenue for the company, focus on improving the customer experience, kickstart predictive modelling capabilities and establish processes for the long-term.

You should definitely apply if you're a well-rounded analyst with strong analytical and technical skills, as well as a business mind and the ability to think critically. We're especially looking for curious "doers" who are passionate about deep-dive analysis, experimentation, predictive modelling, building relationships with stakeholders and engineers, and especially data storytelling. It will be particularly interesting to you if you're knowledgeable about consumer finance, customer journeys and/or behavioural economics. We promise a no-nonsense interview process, challenging problems to solve, lots of autonomy, a direct communication culture, and an environment where you can achieve your dreams.
