Job description

About Rundoo

Our mission is to empower independent supply stores with best-in-class technology. Think of your local hardware store or mom-and-pop nursery—these are our clients. From paint to lumber to flooring, over 200,000 such stores across the country sell over $1T of building materials annually using outdated, on-premises systems. We’re aiming to help them modernize so that they can continue to thrive.

Backed by leading investors including Battery, Bessemer and CRV, we've raised $48M across four rounds and are growing quickly: We're live in over 500 stores across the USA, Canada, and the Caribbean, and integrated with over 20 industry partners. Our team is made up of builders, sellers, and industry veterans with a shared goal: to bring modern technology to an overlooked industry.

What you'll do as a Product Manager Intern at Rundoo

We're hiring for the Summer 2027 term. This isn't shadowing or busywork: you'll help scope which new industries Rundoo enters next.

• Market Research: Help define and size the ICP for a new vertical (lumber, flooring, plumbing, auto, and more).

• Field Research: Talk to store owners and operators directly - in person where possible - to understand what actually matters to them.

• Roadmap Support: Translate messy field research into a clear, sequenced set of feature ideas, working directly with our engineering team.

• GTM Research: Help identify the channels, partners, and events that matter for reaching a new industry.

• Pilot Outreach: Support cold outreach to prospective pilot customers in your assigned vertical.

• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with our CEO, engineering, and GTM teams to keep research grounded in what's buildable and sellable.

Requirements

• Communicative: You can synthesize messy field research into something clear and defensible.

• Resilient: You're comfortable with rejection — a lot of prospects will say no.

• Curious: You're genuinely interested in overlooked, traditional industries.

• Collaborative: You work well across functions, especially with engineering and product.
