Intern – Intelligent Automation

The Summer Internship Program at Bread Financial allows college students to develop a variety of skills within different areas of our business. Over the summer, interns will collaborate with several teams and departments, building a firm knowledge of our business and company culture. Participants will also go through a professional curriculum, attend social and philanthropic events, and participate in executive round tables. The program targets rising junior and senior undergraduate students and graduate students.

The Intelligent Automation team helps Bread Financial business teams streamline work by combining robotics, process optimization, and AI-driven tools to remove manual, repetitive tasks. We partner closely with business units to understand their processes, identify automation opportunities, and design solutions that improve accuracy, speed, and customer experience. Our team builds and maintains automations, from simple bots to more advanced AI‑enhanced workflows, while ensuring they’re secure, scalable, and compliant with banking standards. Ultimately, we enable employees to focus on higher‑value work and help the bank operate more efficiently and intelligently.
