About the opportunity:

As a Product Management Intern on the Platform Security team, you will help bring the next generation of platform security capabilities to life. You will work with product, design, development, customers, and field teams to help make complex security capabilities easier to understand, adopt, and use.

In this role, you will translate highly technical concepts into clear, actionable content such as developer documentation, update decks, and enablement materials. You will help coordinate communications for product launches, gather feedback from customers and internal teams, and track adoption signals to inform future improvements. Along the way, you will build hands-on product management skills in discovery, prioritization, and execution while learning how enterprise security and user experience come together at scale, including areas such as SSO/MFA, provisioning, permissions models, and auditability.

What you’ll get to do:

• Contribute to Platform Security initiatives and help bring new product capabilities to life.
• Serve as the voice of the user in conversations with design and development teams.
• Help maintain and prioritize the product backlog and contribute to roadmap execution using a data-driven approach.
• Write user stories, break down technical features, and support product discovery and requirements definition.
• Gather and synthesize feedback from customers, field teams, and other stakeholders to inform product decisions and future improvements.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear developer documentation, product updates, and enablement materials.
• Help coordinate internal and external communications for product launches and product updates.
• Track product adoption signals and use data and insights to help identify opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, development, and other partners to help ensure the team is building the right product for the right user at the right time.
• Build practical experience in product discovery, prioritization, execution, and enterprise security.

Skills and experience we value:

• Interest in product management, technology, enterprise software, and cybersecurity.
• Experience or exposure to writing user stories, conducting user research, or breaking down technical features through coursework, projects, internships, or other hands-on experience.
• Ability to analyze information and data, gather user feedback, and translate insights into clear and actionable recommendations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to different audiences.
• Strong problem-solving, organization, multitasking, and time management skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues and stakeholders across teams and time zones.
• Curiosity, self-awareness, and a willingness to learn, ask questions, and take ownership of your work.

What would really make you stand out:

• Knowledge of cybersecurity concepts such as Identity and Access Management (IAM), role-based access control (RBAC), the principle of least privilege, or web session management.
• Experience with data analysis, user interviews, product documentation, or product enablement materials.
• Previous product management experience through an internship, academic project, extracurricular activity, or other hands-on experience.
• Exposure to IAM, cybersecurity, platform security, or other security-focused products.
• Experience working with technical teams or translating technical concepts for customers, users, or internal stakeholders.
