As a Product Marketing Intern at SendGrid, you will assist the Product Marketing team to strengthen our customer understanding and to expand our market reach. You will assist with market intelligence and competitive analysis—adding insight to help fuel our ability to succeed in new / existing markets. You will also assist in efforts leading to enhanced product awareness and customer retention. To encourage depth in learning throughout your internship, you will be assigned to a specific product (though you will learn about all of our offerings).

This is a paid internship in the summer of 2016.

What You’ll Do

• Attend and participate in Product Marketing team meetings.
• Attend any meetings relevant to your product assignment and own the competitive analysis for assigned competitors relevant to this product. You will also conduct market analysis relevant to that product positioning — later translating these insights into messaging for our Sales team and/or website. Assist with the launch plan for any new features relevant to your product including communication with all stakeholders.
• Be the voice of the customer (VoC) and the market. Lead interviews with customers—applying empathy and listening to help us understand what our products are doing well / not so well.
• Assist with identification of key influencers, then deliver recommendations on how can we drive better awareness via partnerships with them.
• Assist with localization opportunities as we expand into international markets, helping to finetune messaging / positioning and assets
