Product Management | Intern (Summer 2026 - B2)

At Phygtl, we are solving the problem for Students suffering from social isolation, a challenge that affects over 60% of today's students, contributing significantly to rising depression and anxiety rates. We develop technology that reduces isolation by up to 40%, by providing a novel way to foster community on campus while bridging connections between physical and digital environments.

Our team includes PhDs from institutions such as Stanford, UC Berkeley, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon, alongside professionals from companies like Niantic, Meta, Magic Leap, Riot Games, Ubisoft, and Zynga. Led by a Silicon Valley-based serial entrepreneur, our startup is united by a commitment to rescue next-gen from Social Atrophy.

What you'll do

As a Product Management Intern, you’ll own real features end-to-end across ideation, research, execution, and launch. You will:

• Drive user research through interviews, surveys, and rapid feedback loops

• Translate insights into product specs, user stories, and acceptance criteria

• Work closely with engineering, design, and growth to ship features on tight timelines

• Analyze product data to identify trends, opportunities, and bottlenecks

• Support sprint planning, QA, and release management

• Benchmark competitors, map market opportunities, and synthesize product insights

• Help build operational frameworks, roadmaps, and cross-team documentation

This role is hands-on. You will work like a real PM: making decisions, prioritizing tradeoffs, and pushing features across the finish line.

• Skilled at Figma, Notion, or similar tools (or excited to learn fast)

• Capable of balancing speed with product intuition

• A team-first operator who can navigate chaos and still ship

• Passionate about consumer products, AI, or new-gen digital/physical experiences

Preferred:

• Background in Cognitive Science, CS, UX, Business, or related fields

• Experience with side projects, club leadership, hackathons, or product coursework

• Prior involvement in PM, design, engineering, or growth initiatives

What You’ll Gain

• Real PM ownership of a shipped product

• A portfolio of launch-ready features and artifacts (TPRs, wireframes, dashboards, etc.)

• Mentorship from senior PMs, designers, and engineers

• Exposure to a fast-moving startup environment

• A strong network in product, AI, and emerging tech
