Through our flagship ThinkTrader platform, we empower clients worldwide to trade 24/7 across global markets. Our mission is to bridge the gap between traders, investors, and platforms, providing seamless access to thousands of financial instruments. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, we ensure a superior trading experience. We are looking for a Product Intern to join our Chicago team and gain hands-on experience working at the intersection of product, business, technology and data. This opportunity is ideal for someone who is commercially minded, analytical and curious about how digital products are built, evaluated and improved. You will work closely with Product, Business and Technology teams, using customer insights, market research and data to help identify opportunities, solve business problems and support product initiatives. This is not a heavily technical role. We are looking for someone with strong business judgement, analytical ability and communication skills who has the potential to develop into a future product professional within a fast-paced fintech environment.

Requirements

Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s, Master’s or MBA in Business, Economics, Finance, Strategy, Analytics or a related discipline.

Nice To Haves

Previous internship or project experience in banking, financial services, fintech, consulting, strategy, product management, business analysis or another commercially driven environment would be advantageous.
