As part of the Sonos team, you’ll collaborate with people of all styles, skill sets, and backgrounds to realize our vision while fostering a community where everyone feels included and empowered to do the best work of their lives.

Sonos is the leading sound experience brand, on a mission to bring the joy of music and audio to everyone. We build premium hardware, deeply integrated software, and cloud-connected platform experiences that need to feel effortless to the millions of households that trust us in their homes every day. Delivering on that promise takes product managers who care as much about the details as they do about the big picture — and we’re looking for a Software Product Management Intern to help us do exactly that.

We’re seeking talented students to join Sonos’s Internship Program and explore what it means to blend creativity, technology, and sound. Our interns are an essential part of our team, bringing fresh ideas, learning from experts, and helping us push the boundaries of what’s possible. Come broaden your skills, share your input and pursue your passion with a 11 week internship experience.

As a Product Management Intern, you will contribute to the foundational pieces of our system, ensuring high-quality and reliable operation. You will collaborate with a team of industry-leading innovators across various disciplines, including software engineering, product management, and user experience. If you enjoy solving challenging problems and delivering high-quality products, we want to talk with you!

Work Period: June 7- August 20, 2027 Location & Schedule: This is a 40-hour-per-week position with minimum 4 days per week onsite in our Seattle office. There is no relocation or housing assistance for this position.

What You’ll Do

As a Product Manager, you’ll work on a cross-functional team design and build product features and capabilities. As

• Develop an understanding of a key customer problem or opportunity. Collaborate with other PMs, UX, and engineering partners to define and deliver a solution that addresses the customer problem or need.

• Data Analysis: Conduct basic data analysis, customer research, and user feedback synthesis to support decision-making and measure the success of launched features.

• Support Product Strategy: Assist in the definition and documentation of user stories, functional requirements, and product specifications for software features within the Sonos ecosystem.

• Roadmap / Backlog Management: Manage and prioritize a feature backlog under the guidance of a Senior Product Manager, ensuring alignment with overall product goals and business priorities.

• Use AI to work smarter. Apply AI tools to speed up research synthesis, spec drafting, data analysis, and other day-to-day PM work, and bring a curious, experimental mindset to improving your own workflow.

Basic Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate program at a College or University with a preferred field of study in Computer Science, Business, Engineering, Economics, or equivalent.

• Clear writer and communicator who can explain findings and recommendations in concise, plain language.

• Comfortable using Excel, Google Sheets, and Google Drive to organize and compare information.

• Eagerness to learn from people across teams.

• A practical, hands-on approach to using AI tools in daily PM work (e.g., research synthesis, spec drafting, data analysis), with enthusiasm for learning more.

• Comfort working in a lean team environment, where prioritization and resourcefulness matter.

• A collaborative, low-ego approach — easy to work with, takes feedback well, and eager to learn from more senior teammates.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on with AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini to build, automate, or solve a problem. Experience from class, work, or on your own

• Exposure to SQL or Snowflake, or just comfortable working with large amounts of data

• Coursework or projects in marketing, consumer behavior, or research methods

• A passion for music, audio technology, and delivering exceptional customer experiences.
