A bit about QFLIP:
The Questrade Future Leaders Internship Program (QFLIP) is a 14-week internship from May to August 2027. This program is open to students currently in their 3rd or 4th year of undergrad.
As a Product intern, you will join our Product team, where you'll help define, build, and ship products that improve Canadians' financial lives. You'll work alongside product managers to identify customer problems, translate these problems into clear specs and roadmaps, and partner with engineering, design, and business stakeholders to bring features from concept to launch. As part of our 2027 intern cohort, you will have a dedicated manager and mentor and connect with product managers, engineers, designers, other interns, and leaders across the company.
Your first 12 weeks will be spent with our Product team, so you can:
- Prototype and test early ideas with customers and engineers to validate direction before the team commits to a build
- Work with engineers and designers to ship features on the Questrade platform
- Develop an understanding of the business and participate in key strategic decision-making to generate value and shape the enterprise’s future direction
- Receive 1:1 mentorship and coaching
The last 2 weeks will be spent in a rotational program with unmatched exposure to leadership, allowing you to:
- Shadow an executive on our leadership team as their Chief of Staff
- Get clarity on what kind of leader you’d like to become, through direct leadership shadowing
In this role, responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Partnering closely with engineering, design and data teams to scope, build and ship products that solve real customer problems
- Conducting customer interviews and user research to understand needs, validate problems, and test whether a solution works before committing to building it
- Translating customer and market insights into clear product requirements, prototypes and concepts the team can test and learn from
- Sizing market opportunity and assessing the competitive landscape to identify improvements to existing products as well as net-new products worth building
- Helping prioritize the roadmap and make trade-off decisions on what to build next, balancing customer value, effort and business impact
- Building functional prototypes and proofs-of-concept (using low-code/no-code tools) to validate technical feasibility before committing engineering resources
- Working directly with engineers on technical details, including APIs, data models, and system constraints, to make informed product decisions

- You’re a strong communicator who asks great questions, collaborates well with others, and is excited to learn, get feedback, and grow as a product manager
- You have technical skills (coding, scripting, working with data or APIs) and are comfortable using them to build, test, and validate ideas yourself
- You’ve used AI tooling for both personal productivity and development projects
If you come from a technical or engineering background and haven't done formal product work before, we strongly encourage you to apply. If product management is newer to you, that's okay, prior experience isn't a requirement. We'll teach you what you need along the way.
