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 Strategy intern, you will join our Strategy and Corporate Development (M&A) team, which decides where Questrade plays and how it wins: identifying and incubating new businesses, shaping enterprise and cross-business strategy, and evaluating the opportunities, investments and partnerships that help Canadians improve their financial lives. This team works closely with leadership across Questrade's businesses and charts the enterprise's future direction.
 
Your first 12 weeks will be spent with our Strategy team, so you can:
  • Deliver tangible and impactful work across a range of strategic initiatives, including Enterprise Strategy and Corporate Development.
  • Develop an understanding of the business and participate in key strategic decision-making to generate value and shape strategic priorities across the business
  • 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:

  • Thinking through how new products, services and / or cross-business bundles could drive profitable growth of Questrade and its businesses
  • Building business models and analyses (e.g., market sizing, pricing, P&L) to pressure-test opportunities and support prudent, data-driven decision-making
  • Benchmarking Questrade’s performance against key competitors
  • Taking existing ways of working, processes and procedures and leveling them up with AI
  • Partnering with business functions across product, marketing, finance, operations, and others to bring the right evidence and recommendations to leadership
  • Evaluating potential investments, partnerships and ancillary revenue streams that align with Questrade's strategic direction

Previous interns have worked on projects like:

  • Evaluating acquisition opportunities to accelerate Questrade's product roadmap and bring new capabilities to market faster
  • Investigating new lines of business to surface additional revenue streams and near-term revenue opportunities
  • Developing pricing models for new and existing products

So are YOU our next QFLIP Member? You are if you…

  • Have experience in financial services or can bring learnings from other fast-paced, customer-centric and digital-forward industries
  • Have experience or an interest in the following areas:
    • Business / corporate strategy
    • Management consulting
    • Strategy & operations
    • Business analysis / business operations
    • Business modelling (financial / commercial)
    • Data analysis
    • Go-to-market strategy
    • Market / competitive research
    • Pricing / monetization strategy
  • Are a structured, analytical thinker who can break down ambiguous problems and turn analysis into clear, actionable recommendations
  • Have business acumen, with a focus on accountability, decision-making, delivering results, networking, innovation, agility and conflict management
  • Are curious about how businesses grow and win, and energized by working across functions to bring evidence and recommendations to leadership
  • Are a self-starter with a history of improving business practices
  • You’ve used AI tooling for both personal productivity and development projects
Strong data skills are a real plus in Strategy. If you have hands-on experience with SQL, Power BI or Python, we strongly encourage you to apply. And if you don't, that's okay, it's not a requirement, and we'll teach you what you need along the way.
Please upload a copy of your resume and transcript to be considered.
