Product Manager - Intern

Join SoundSenseAI's paid internship programme and learn to turn customer and business needs into useful products and workflows, supported by experienced founders, product practitioners and engineers. This is the Product & Business pathway, for people who enjoy understanding customer needs, shaping practical solutions and working with clients and engineers. We also offer a Product Engineering pathway. All interns work across disciplines, and you may indicate interest in both when applying. What you will do

• Understand how a customer or business works and where the need sits.
• Translate that need into clear requirements and priorities.
• Work directly with clients through discovery and delivery.
• Build lightweight prototypes or automations to test ideas early.
• Work with engineers to turn requirements and product decisions into working software.
• Document decisions, recommendations and next steps clearly. You will work on an internal or client problem with a named supervisor. You will help take it from discovery to a usable result, show your work regularly, respond to feedback and document what you build and learn. We will agree learning goals and a concrete project outcome at the start. Client and production-system access depends on the project, placement length and security requirements. Interns will not be left solely responsible for critical client decisions or production systems. What we are looking for You understand software-engineering fundamentals and have built and shipped at least one project far enough for someone else to use, test or review. It could be an application, website, automation, prototype, data project, agent, university project or small business. We look for clear thinking about the problem and your choices, curiosity about users and business needs, clear communication, initiative and reliability. You should use AI thoughtfully and check its output. You do not need to be an engineer, but you must understand software-engineering fundamentals and be comfortable using code and AI tools to prototype, test ideas and work effectively with engineering. This pathway may suit students or graduates in product design, business, communications, engineering, human-computer interaction, psychology, economics or another analytical or technical subject. We do not require a particular degree subject, programming language or framework, a polished commercial product, or prior consulting experience. What you will learn You will learn to find the problem behind an initial request, decide what to build, buy or automate, and turn discovery into a focused plan and usable product. You will practise balancing user needs, business value, technical constraints and delivery speed while working with clients and a multidisciplinary team. Practical details

How to apply Email a link to a 2–3-minute video introducing yourself and explaining your interest to careers@soundsenseai.com. Use the subject “Application: SoundSenseAI Internship Programme – Product & Business”. Include your preferred placement length. A CV is recommended but optional. If your introduction is successful, we will invite you to send a 5–8-minute demo of something you have built and shipped. Explain the problem, your choices, the outcome and what you learned. Please wait for the invitation before sending your demo. Private projects are welcome; you can explain or demonstrate them without disclosing confidential information. The next stages are a short, time-boxed practical exercise in a SoundSenseAI-provided environment and a final case-study interview tailored to your pathway. We will explain in advance what activity is recorded during the exercise and how it will be used. Any exercise substantial enough to create useful work for SoundSenseAI will be paid. Tell us if you need a reasonable adjustment at any stage. You do not need to disclose a diagnosis or personal medical information.
