Product Operations Intern

At R2, we believe that small and medium businesses are the productive engine of society. Small and medium businesses (SMBs) make up over 90% of companies in Latin America, yet they face a trillion-dollar credit gap. Our mission is to unlock SMBs’ potential by providing financial solutions tailored to their needs. We are reimagining the financial infrastructure of Latin America, where SMBs’ financial needs are met without ever having to go to a bank.

R2 enables platforms across Latin America to embed financial services that SMBs can leverage, starting with revenue-based financing. We are a high-performing, close-knit team with talent from organizations such as Google, Amazon, Nubank, Uber, Capital One, Mercado Libre, Globant, and J.P. Morgan. 

We are entering a new phase of growth following a strategic investment from Ant International, focused on rapidly expanding our partner footprint, strengthening our credit and underwriting capabilities, and scaling operations across multiple markets. 

As a Product Operations Intern, you will support our product and finance operations, ensuring that our financial data, internal processes, and product features run smoothly and accurately. You’ll collaborate with multiple teams to maintain consistency across systems and help streamline workflows as we continue to grow. The Product Operations Intern will report to the Product Operations Manager and interact with multiple stakeholders in different countries.
