Content Marketing Intern

Prodigal is the connected AI platform leading financial institutions use to run their operations.

We work with banks lenders credit unions and other financial companies that lend money to people and manage those relationships over time.

These institutions make millions of high-stakes decisions every day. Who should they reach When should they reach them What should they say or offer When should a case move to a human How should that change based on the borrower the account previous interactions and the regulations involved

Getting those decisions right requires a deep understanding of the people processes rules and edge cases behind them.

Prodigal has spent the last eight years building that understanding. More than a billion interactions between financial institutions and their customers have shaped the intelligence guardrails and AI agents we now run in production across North America.

Today our AI agents analyze conversations capture context guide human agents decide the next action conduct customer conversations orchestrate outreach and help people complete payments and resolutions. They are connected so what is learned in one interaction can inform what happens next.

We are expanding this swarm of AI agents across more of the work financial institutions do: originations document processing back-office workflows servicing and other critical operations where money identity people and regulation intersect.

We are backed by Y Combinator Accel and Menlo Ventures and work with 100 financial institutions across North America.

AI has made it incredibly easy to produce content. There are more articles posts emails videos and opinions competing for peoples attention every day.

We think this makes genuinely good content more valuable.

Were looking for a Content Marketing Intern who wants to become exceptionally good at understanding an audience finding ideas worth talking about and turning those ideas into work people actually want to read watch save share and come back to.

At Prodigal good content starts with understanding.

Youll learn how financial institutions operate how their teams work what their customers experience what executives care about where processes break and how AI is changing the industry. We go unusually deep into these details. We obsess over the people processes regulations and edge cases that shape how this industry actually works.

That level of understanding should show up in everything we publish.

We want someone inside the industry to encounter something from Prodigal and think:
How do they know that

And we want the content to be good enough that they keep reading.

This is an Intern PPO opportunity (performance based).

Ideas can come from anywhere: earnings calls annual reports customer conversations regulatory filings job postings datasets online communities sales calls or an obscure detail several searches deep.

Youll learn to enter an unfamiliar subject quickly understand what is happening separate signal from noise and find the part worth telling someone about.

Youll work across LinkedIn articles research reports executive content newsletters customer stories email campaigns videos event content data-led stories and formats we havent tried yet.

Youll think carefully about the reader throughout:
- What would make them stop
- What do they already know
- What might surprise them
- Where will they lose interest
- What would make this worth sharing

The headline structure language examples and design should all come from those questions.

You dont need to understand financial services before joining. You do need to be curious enough to learn it.

Youll understand how banks and lenders make decisions how borrowers move through different stages of a loan why an auto lender operates differently from a card issuer how regulations shape interactions and what changes when thousands or millions of customer conversations need to happen at scale.

Try new hooks structures research formats visual treatments videos interactive ideas event experiences and approaches borrowed from great creators journalists consumer brands and places outside traditional B2B marketing.

Some will work. Some wont. Pay attention to why.

A person may first see a LinkedIn post later read a report receive an email watch a customer story visit our website meet us at an event and eventually speak with Sales.

Youll think about how those interactions connect and whether each one strengthens the persons understanding of Prodigal.

AI should make you significantly faster.

Use it for research synthesis transcript analysis idea exploration pattern finding alternative approaches and iteration.

Youll still be responsible for judgment.

You should notice when something sounds generic when a polished paragraph says very little when an idea needs a better premise and when one version among ten is clearly stronger.

As generating content becomes easier taste becomes more important.

Curiosity. You enjoy understanding things and tend to keep digging when something catches your attention.

Taste. You notice when something is genuinely interesting generic forced overdone or forgettable. Your taste might come from writing film design advertising music YouTube journalism memes or something completely different.

Reader instinct. You naturally think about how something will land with another person and what will make them care.

Energy. Ideas excite you. You like making things trying another version and bringing momentum into a project.

Clear thinking. You can consume a lot of information decide what matters and explain something complicated simply.

Love for language. You care about words openings rhythm and whether something sounds like an actual human wrote it.

Iteration. You can make several versions take feedback throw away something you liked and improve it.

Independent thinking. You question conventions bring references from outside B2B marketing and are comfortable suggesting ideas we havent considered.

Attention to detail. Names numbers sources terminology claims and context need to be right.

This could be your first formal marketing role.

Were interested in people who have chosen to make things on their own.

Maybe youve written online started a newsletter made videos built a social page or community run a college publication created great memes developed a side project researched one topic obsessively or built an audience around something you care about.

Content is changing quickly.

AI is dramatically reducing the time required to research draft edit design and produce. Someone with curiosity judgment taste and energy can now explore more ideas and iterate much faster than was possible a few years ago.

Youll get to develop those skills while working close to founders product teams engineers Sales customers industry operators and people who have spent years understanding how financial institutions actually work.

Youll also have room to leave a mark.

You could create a research franchise people follow every year invent a format that becomes associated with Prodigal uncover a story nobody else noticed or build something that people inside the industry start waiting for.

Years from now there should be things in Prodigals body of work that exist partly because you were here and thought of them.

From day 1 Prodigal has been defined by talented humble and hungry leaders and we want this mindset and culture to continue to blossom from top to bottom in the company. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and want to work in a fast-paced intellectually-stimulating environment where you will be pushed to grow then please reach out because we are looking to build a transformational company that reinvents one of the biggest industries in the US.
