Splunk is looking for interns for Summer 2023! As a Product Manager intern, you will work on a real project (or a few) and have an opportunity to enjoy our dynamic, startup-like environment.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Partner with engineers and other PMs to prioritize and understand customer and user needs in-depth and translate those needs into a compelling product roadmap.
• Develop insightful success metrics and tactically implement operational and process improvements across our product feedback portfolio
• Communicate our customers' technical requirements crisply and succinctly with design and engineering
• Write functional specifications, and set criteria for release readiness with regards to the functionality of the solution.
• Collaborate with design, engineering, support, and field teams to improve existing workflows and team processes and successfully deliver products.
• Make an impact through your recommended modifications to processes and procedures, and directly contribute to standard methodologies, architecture, and implementation.

Basic Requirements:

• Actively pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics or a related technical field, and a strong record of academic achievement.
• Applicants should have a minimum of one quarter/semester remaining in their studies after their internship concludes.
• The Splunk internship program runs for a minimum of 10 weeks, up to a maximum of 12 consecutive weeks with start dates between May and June 2023. Applicants should be available to participate full-time (40 hours/week) in an internship during this time.

Preferred Requirements:

• Self-motivation and strong passion for collaboration and teamwork
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and reporting skills
• Strong project execution skills, attention to detail and quality, and a risk-mitigation mentality
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, experience with and/or desire to hold a customer facing role
• Ability to lead and influence via persuasion, patience, and energy to drive consensus across functions and teams
• Strong collaboration with internal and external partners
• Willing to do what it takes to get quality products and features to market on time

What We Offer You:

• A fun and collaborative environment with many exciting events from interacting with other interns to conversations with our executive leadership team.
• A constant stream of new things for you to learn. We're always expanding into new areas, bringing in open source projects and contributing back, and exploring new technologies.
• A set of exceptionally talented and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering and QA to product management and customer support.
• Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities. We also believe mentors help both sides of the equation.
• A stable, collaborative and supportive work environment.
