Product Manager Intern (May - September Internship)

Want to learn how to launch a million-dollar product? As a Product Manager Intern, you’ll get a front-row, hands-on education in how a 10-figure health brand discovers opportunities, evaluates clinical research, builds concepts, and brings new products to life.

In this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you’ll learn how to:

• Spot lucrative gaps in the market
• Break down clinical studies without getting lost
• Turn raw ideas into testable product concepts
• Work with marketing, R&D, and design teams
• Support launches that can generate millions in revenue

This isn’t just “file documents and shadow meetings” internship! If you’ve got the chops, it’s a launchpad into a lifetime of success. 

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have low bone density. 

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to everyone worried about bone loss. If that excites you, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal. 

What You Bring to the Table:
You’re curious about how products actually get made, from the first spark of an idea to the moment it hits the shelf. You’re organized, detail-oriented, and the kind of person who can’t resist double-checking numbers, names, or notes. Most importantly, you’re ambitious. You don’t just want to “shadow” a team. You want to understand the systems behind great products, contribute to meaningful work, and one day help build launches from scratch.

If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

About Your Opportunity
You’ll learn the real skills that turn ideas into million-dollar products:

How to Spot Trends That Others Miss
You’ll learn how to analyze markets, decode competitors, and identify gaps that real customers care about. You’ll see firsthand how those insights transform into ideas, concepts, and full-scale product launches.

How to Turn Clinical Research Into Product Strategy
You’ll learn how to read clinical studies, separate solid science from fluff, and extract insights that matter. Then you’ll see how those findings influence formulations, positioning, and long-term product roadmaps.

How to Understand What Customers Really Want
You’ll learn how to analyze customer feedback, community discussions, and customer reviews. And you’ll watch how those insights lead to smarter product decisions and improvements that boost satisfaction and retention.

How Cross-Functional Teams Bring Products to Life
You’ll learn how Product, Marketing, Sales, Ops, and R&D work together—and what it takes to keep a launch on track when every department has moving parts. You’ll get exposure to real workflows, real alignment challenges, and real problem-solving.

How Vendor & Formulation Decisions Actually Happen
You’ll learn how suppliers are evaluated, how formulations evolve, how quotes are negotiated, and how bottlenecks get resolved. You’ll sit in on real vendor calls and see exactly how products move from idea to physical reality.

How to Build a Product Roadmap That Makes Sense
You’ll learn how product roadmaps are created, prioritized, and executed. You’ll get exposure to gap analyses, opportunity assessments, and the processes that turn a big 

How to Navigate Real Product Challenges
You’ll learn how to troubleshoot unclear requirements, shifting timelines, broken assumptions, and the everyday scrappiness that product development demands. This isn’t textbook learning—it’s real-world adaptability.

And just so we're clear: We won’t hold your hand forever. Once we teach you something, we’ll expect you to roll up your sleeves and actually do it. If you’re just looking to “learn” without executing—this ain’t the role for you.

What Will You Earn? 

Our Product Manager Intern position offers $3500 monthly.

You’ll also enjoy the following benefits:

• Monthly team events and activities
• Weekly team lunches
• Casual dress code
• Incredible dog friendly, Yaletown office one block from SkyTrain

And above all, you’ll join a team that you’ll never want to leave. Culture is everything to us. Yes, we work extremely hard to change as many people’s lives as possible. But we know how to have fun and reward ourselves too.
