User Research Intern

About Schneider Innovations

Schneider Innovations is a fast-growing global company focused on building and scaling product brands across consumer health, medical supplies, and personal protective equipment (PPE) categories. Our products are distributed throughout North America through major retail channels, e-commerce platforms, and institutional buyers.

What makes our approach different is how we develop products. Instead of relying purely on intuition, we combine data intelligence, user insight, and rapid market testing to evaluate product opportunities and bring better ideas to market faster.

Our long-term vision is to build a next-generation AI Product Marketing Lab — a system where data, user research, and market feedback continuously inform how products are designed, positioned, and launched.

About the Role

Our team operates an active pipeline of product concepts across multiple categories. Before any idea moves toward development, it must pass through a structured discovery process that combines user research, concept testing, and early market validation.

We are looking for interns to help support this process by conducting structured user interviews and gathering insights from potential users. The role focuses on executing research activities that help the team understand user needs, reactions to product concepts, and potential market signals.

Interns will work with prepared interview frameworks, scripts, and tools provided by the team. The role is primarily execution-focused: conducting interviews, organizing feedback, and summarizing insights that support product and business decisions.

This internship sits at the intersection of user research, product development, and market insight, and provides exposure to how companies evaluate product ideas before bringing them to market.
