Position Overview:
As a Product Management Intern, you’ll work closely with the founder and developers to help spec features, review and Q&A features, and gather user feedback right on campus. This is a hands-on role that offers a unique opportunity to be deeply involved in the product development cycle.
Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with the founder to define and spec new features. Learn how Product Management works in a small tech startup.
- Review and Q&A features before they go live
- Conduct user interviews and surveys with users to gather feedback
- Work closely with developers to ensure features are implemented as specified
- Assist in prioritizing feature development based on user feedback and business goals
Requirements:
- Currently enrolled for at least one more year in a college or university, aiming towards a career in Product Management, Design or Software Development.
- Basic(!) understanding of code.
- Experience working with, or willingness to learn product design tool Figma.
- An idealist who is looking for ways to make an impact and decries the current state of social media.
What We Offer:
- Direct mentorship from the founder
- Real-world experience in product management at a tech startup
- Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a product that aims to redefine social media
- While this role starts as an unpaid internship due to our lack of funding (we’re still bootstrapped), this can change in the future as we grow and gain traction.
- As impact-focused founder, I have a track record of elevating students to learn, as proven by the reviews of the privacy nonprofit humanID, which I have been leading for years: https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-humanID-EI_IE4066783.11,18.htm
