About Sezzle:
Sezzle is a cutting-edge fintech company dedicated to financially empowering the next generation.

By increasing consumers' purchasing power, Sezzle drives sales and basket sizes for thousands of eCommerce merchants that it partners with.
About the Role:
Sezzle is looking for a Product Intern with a strong attention to detail and a curiosity for how things work (and break). In this role, you’ll help validate new product features, flag bugs before they cause headaches, and contribute directly to making our product experience seamless and delightful across platforms.
You’ll work cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and engineers on the Shopper Experience team, which is focused on new user activation, shopper retention, and elevating the value of Sezzle’s platform for millions of users. Whether it’s identifying bugs before they cause frustration or validating a new rewards feature before it goes live, your work will directly impact how shoppers engage with and return to Sezzle.to ensure every release is reliable and user-friendly. If you’re eager to see how product strategy, feature delivery, and quality assurance intersect at a high-growth fintech company—this one’s for you.
What You'll Do:
Feature Validation & Quality Assurance: Proactively test new features, enhancements, and integrations across web, mobile, and API platforms; identify bugs, usability issues, and edge cases; document findings with precision; and partner with engineering for swift resolutions.
User Research & Insights: Conduct user interviews, surveys, and competitive analysis to uncover pain points, gather feedback, and inform product decisions; analyze user behavior data to validate assumptions and recommend improvements.
Retention & Activation Feature Validation: Support testing and analysis of features aimed at activating new users and retaining high-value shoppers; help assess their usability and performance.
Product Ideation & Development: Contribute to brainstorming sessions, wireframing, and prototyping using tools like Figma; help translate business requirements into actionable user stories and testing scenarios.
Market & Competitive Analysis: Research industry trends, fintech innovations, and competitor offerings; synthesize findings into reports or dashboards to support strategic planning and feature prioritization.
Post-Launch Monitoring & Iteration: Perform production validation, monitor key metrics (e.g., adoption rates, error logs), and propose optimizations based on real-time data and user feedback.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Participate in agile ceremonies (sprints, stand-ups, retros); provide input on product roadmaps; and assist in creating documentation, such as user guides or release notes.
Special Projects: Tackle ad-hoc initiatives, like A/B testing, accessibility audits, or exploring emerging technologies (e.g., AI-driven personalization), to drive product excellence and innovation.
What We Look For:
Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Economics, or a related field
3.5 GPA or higher (required for consideration)
A genuine interest in product development, user experience, and the “why” behind product decisions
Strong attention to detail—you notice when something’s just a little off, and it bugs you until it’s fixed
Comfort digging into product experiences and identifying what’s working and what’s not
Analytical thinking and basic data skills (Excel/Sheets, with bonus points for SQL curiosity)
Effective written and verbal communication—you can explain a bug to a developer and feedback to a PM without playing translator
Familiarity with agile methodologies, product tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma, Mixpanel), or prototyping software is advantageous but not required—we value quick learners.
Prior experience in internships, projects, or extracurriculars related to product, QA, UX/UI, startups, or tech (e.g., hackathons, app development) is a plus.
Familiarity or interest in gamified product experiences (e.g., rewards systems, tiered programs) and consumer web dashboards is a plus.
Preferred Knowledge And Skills
You catch the details others miss – You test the tester. And then test again.
You don’t just report problems—you help solve them
You want to learn how product actually gets shipped, not just brainstormed
You know speed matters – Done is better than perfect, but working is better than broken
You’re comfortable asking questions, even if it means uncovering more work
You care about the end user, even if you don’t directly talk to them.
