We are seeking students that are interested in a Product Management Internship for Summer 2026. The Product Management Intern will report to the Lending Product Manager and will lead a dormant account reactivation initiative to boost engagement and product utilization across lending and deposit portfolios.

This work includes analyzing member data to segment inactive accounts, assess financial impact, and conduct surveys to uncover reasons for inactivity. Using these insights, they'll design targeted strategies-personalized campaigns, offers, and outreach scripts-while collaborating with marketing, compliance, BI, and branch teams to ensure compliance and effective execution. The intern will help launch a pilot campaign, track performance metrics like reactivation rates and ROI, and provide staff training throughout the summer.
