Job Description
About Parspec
Founded in 2021, Parspec is revolutionizing the materials supply chain for the $13 trillion USD construction industry by digitizing and organizing the industry's product data. Our proprietary AI technology maintains a current and comprehensive catalogue of millions of products, enabling our customers to identify products that best meet their needs–instantly. Trusted by top designers, builders, distributors, manufacturers, and sales agents, and backed by leading venture investors, Parspec is paving the way for a more innovative, connected, and sustainable future in construction.
Join us in building transformative technology that reshapes one of the world’s oldest and largest industries.
The Opportunity
We’re seeking a Product Manager Intern to join Parspec in Summer 2026 (start date flexible) and contribute to core product initiatives that are critical to the growth of our AI-powered platform.
As an intern, you will gain hands-on experience in product discovery & strategy, customer research, requirements definition, prioritization, and data-informed decision-making, while directly contributing to features and workflows used by customers. You will work closely with Product, Design, and Engineering, gaining a front-row view into how product decisions are made and executed in a high-growth environment.
This is an ideal role for a student interested in product management who wants real ownership and impact on a growing product platform.
What You Will Achieve and Key Responsibilities
Lead scoped product initiatives from discovery through execution in partnership with Engineering and Design
Develop a deep understanding of customer workflows through qualitative and quantitative research
Define product requirements, user experiences, use cases, and success metrics
Author clear product requirements, user stories, and decision documents to align cross-functional teams
Ship product and feature improvements through rapid iteration, experimentation, and feedback
Why This Matters
Construction remains one of the world’s largest and least digitized industries, with critical workflows still driven by manual and fragmented processes. Parspec is changing that by building an AI-powered platform that helps teams make faster, better decisions around materials. As a Product Manager Intern, you will contribute directly to features and workflows that improve how materials are specified and procured, in an industry that touches the built world around us.
Who You Are
You’re motivated by understanding how real products are built and scaled. You enjoy breaking down ambiguous problems, engaging directly with users, and turning complexity into clear product decisions. You take ownership of outcomes, follow through with rigor, and care deeply about building solutions that balance customer needs, technical constraints, and business impact. You communicate clearly, collaborate effectively across disciplines, and adapt quickly in fast-moving environments.
Qualifications
Currently enrolled in a US-based, degree-seeking program (Bachelor’s, Master’s, MBA, or PhD)
Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills
Ability to work effectively in ambiguous problem spaces and drive projects to completion with limited direction
Ownership mindset with a bias toward action and accountability for outcomes
Clear, concise written and verbal communication skills
Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Engineering partners
Preferred Qualifications
Interest in or exposure to construction industry workflows, including materials procurement
Academic or practical background in construction management, engineering, supply chain, operations, or other complex real-world systems
Exposure to B2B SaaS products, especially workflow-heavy or operations-focused software
What We Offer
Competitive stipend for the duration of the internship
Hands-on ownership of meaningful product work that directly impacts customers
Mentorship from experienced Product, Design, and Engineering leaders
Flexible hybrid work environment to support both in-office collaboration and focused remote work
Exposure to a fast-growing AI-powered B2B SaaS company and real-world product decision-making
Opportunities for learning and professional development through regular feedback and collaboration
