2021 Corporate Internship
Growth with a Purpose
OppLoans is a rapidly growing Fintech company that helps credit-challenged consumers build a better financial path through accessible products and five-star customer service. As one of Chicago’s fastest-growing startups, we’ve made the Crain’s Business Chicago Fast 50 (#4 in 2019) and the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 (twice), and we’ve ranked in the top 10% of the Inc. 500 four years in a row!
OppLoans is a team of caring and inventive “Opptimists” with diverse perspectives and backgrounds. OppLoans employees approach every new challenge with an unparalleled ability to see what could be rather than settle for what is. We want people to be excited to come to work every morning and know they are a part of something great. That’s why we prize collaboration, collegiality, and letting the best ideas win the day.
The Opportunity:
If you want to have a tremendous impact at one of the Inc. 500 fastest growing companies, we want to hear from you. While opportunities vary from team to team, here are some examples of projects previous interns have worked on:
- Credit - Use NLP techniques and other ML/AI techniques to categorize large volumes of text data, allowing us to better understand our customers and enhance the service and experience we provide.
- Business Operations - Use machine learning models to determine the segments that exist in our customer base, and how they work with our application process differently.
Key Job Responsibilities:
Responsibilities will differ based on department and assigned project. At OppLoans, interns aren't simply doing rudimentary tasks or chores. They're given opportunities that require high levels of critical thinking, collaboration, and leadership. Every summer, interns have been responsible for creating systems, tools, or practices that have substantially impacted our bottom line. You'll work closely with your manager to set ambitious goals and measure performance along the way.
These are our departments:
Arrangements
Business Operations
Credit
Compliance
Finance
Legal
Marketing
Operational Risk
Product
Social Impact
Technology
Requirements:
We're seeking passionate, innovative problem solvers with a desire to have a real impact. Candidates must graduate in 2022 with a Bachelor's or Master's degree, preferably in a field related to your department of interest. Please note, there is a possibility this internship may be remote.
