As a Product MBA Intern, you’ll operate at the intersection of strategy and execution, working closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and GTM teams to shape product direction and drive execution. You’ll work on high-impact product initiatives—from discovery and strategy to execution and iteration—while developing a deep understanding of how technology, user needs, and business goals come together at scale. This role offers hands-on experience building and scaling products in a fast-growing environment, with real ownership, influence, and the opportunity to drive meaningful outcomes that directly support RapidSOS’s mission to help save lives through technology.

  • Own product initiatives from discovery to delivery: Lead one or more high-impact product projects that influence product strategy, roadmap priorities, and customer outcomes
  • Partner cross-functionally to build great products: Collaborate closely with Engineers, Designers, and business stakeholders to identify problems, define solutions, and drive execution
  • Ground decisions in customer and market insight: Conduct user research, analyze customer feedback, and synthesize market and competitive insights to inform product direction and tradeoffs
  • Translate strategy into clear product artifacts: Help create product requirements, user stories, success metrics, and narratives that align teams around what we’re building and why
  • Drive alignment and momentum: Support planning, prioritization, and execution processes that keep teams focused, informed, and moving forward
  • Measure impact and iterate: Define success metrics, evaluate outcomes, and incorporate learnings to continuously improve product experiences
  • Immerse yourself in our mission-driven culture: Engage in company and team events, learn from inspiring peers, and contribute to a culture that values purpose, collaboration, and real-world impact

What we’re looking for in our ideal candidate: 

  • Currently enrolled in an MBA program (Class of 2027) with prior experience in product management, consulting, engineering, or a high-growth startup environment preferred
  • Bias for action: Highly self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable owning projects from idea to execution in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
  • Curious, adaptable learner: Eager to dive into new & complex challenges, learn quickly, and thrive amid ambiguity
  • Customer-obsessed product thinker: Deeply curious about users and their workflows, pain points, and motivations, with the ability to balance user needs, technical constraints, and business objectives to make thoughtful product decisions
  • Excellent communicator: Able to tell compelling product stories and translate insights into clear, actionable plans
  • Collaborative and independent: Able to seamlessly shift between working autonomously and engaging cross-functionally to drive progress and alignment
  • Strategic and analytical thinker: Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to use data and insights to inform strategies and develop actionable solutions
  • Laser-sharp attention to detail: Highly organized, excellent project management skills, and a high standard for excellence
  • Purpose over pride: No task is beneath you—you bring humility, teamwork, and a deep commitment to advancing our mission to help save lives through innovation
  • AI-forward mindset: Curious about how AI can enhance product experiences, accelerate development, and unlock new possibilities for our users

What we offer: 

  • The chance to work with a passionate team on solving one of the largest challenges globally
  • Work with our leadership on initiatives that shape our long-term growth, operational excellence, and mission impact
  • Experience the momentum of a rapidly scaling tech startup, where innovation, ownership, and curiosity drive everything we do

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
