Long-term Career Prospects: While this is a summer internship, we see this as the start of a long-term relationship that can potentially result in a return offer for our Full-time New Grad Program. Many of our current employees are prior interns and for developers early in their career, Warner Bros. Discovery offers unparalleled opportunities. From working on unique and exciting projects, to having global impact and gaining international experience. We have also built a fantastic culture that is truly diverse and inclusive, reflected in creativity and innovation across our products and features. And of course, you will work with our talented team; our Scientists are among the best in the industry and are excited to mentor and develop the next generation of tech talent!
About the projects you may work on:
As an intern, you will gain experience and the opportunity to work across Product, Engineering, Design, and Data Analytics to contribute towards defining and shipping high impact features and products. We want interns to deeply understand the functions of product management and product design at the end of their internship by giving them an end-to-end view of the function by providing them with hands-on experience learning. PM interns will contribute to (including, but not limited to) aspects of product discovery, delivery, and assessing outcomes. We will coach PM interns on participating and conducting user research, understanding customer behavior through quantitative and qualitative analysis, evaluating opportunities using a series of inputs, frameworks for prioritization, and how to partner effectively with design and engineering to create solutions with a customer first mindset. PM interns will learn best practices of go-to-market planning, as well as measuring and assessing outcomes.
