Project Manager Intern (May - September Internship)

Want to learn how to run million dollar projects?

As our Project Manager Intern, you’ll learn how to turn raw ideas into organized plans, keep fast-moving teams aligned, and help bring major projects to life –– on schedule and on budget.

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

Turn big goals into crisp, actionable plans.

Run agile workflows that keep projects moving forward.

Run Jira boards, so work moves cleanly from “to do” to “done.”

Spot problems before they become problems and keep every project on time, on track, and on budget.

Bring marketing, development, design, and operations together.

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 projects actually get delivered — from that first messy idea to the moment everything comes together on launch day. You’re organized, detail-oriented, and the kind of person who naturally tracks dates, tasks, and tiny details others miss. You like seeing how moving parts fit together, how teams stay aligned, and how work actually gets done. Most importantly, you’re ambitious. You don’t want to just “sit in” on meetings. You want to understand how real projects run, contribute to meaningful work, and one day lead major initiatives from start to finish.

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

About Your Opportunity

You’ll learn highly marketable skills that turn complex ideas into on-time, on-budget, high-impact projects:

How to Break Down Projects So They Actually Get Done

You’ll learn how to turn big goals into clear scopes, detailed timelines, and step-by-step plans. You’ll see how project requirements are shaped, how milestones are set, and how teams align around a shared roadmap.

How to Run Agile Workflows That Keep Teams Moving

You’ll learn how to organize sprints, prioritize tasks, manage backlogs, and keep Jira boards running smoothly. You’ll observe how agile rituals (standups, retros, sprint planning) keep teams accountable and prevent work from getting stuck.

How Real-World Projects Are Tracked, Updated, and Delivered

You’ll learn how project plans evolve, how scope changes are evaluated, how issues get escalated, and how resources get reallocated across multiple projects. You’ll see how effective change management and clear communication keep everything moving, even when the unexpected happens.

How to Communicate So Every Team Knows Exactly What’s Happening

You’ll learn how to write crisp updates, recap meetings, prepare project briefs, manage budgets, and maintain steady communication with project leads, stakeholders, and senior leadership. You’ll see how smart communication prevents delays, rework, and surprises.

How Cross-Functional Teams Bring Big Projects to Life

You’ll learn how Marketing, Product, Ops, Sales, Development, and Design all depend on one another, and what it takes to keep everyone moving in sync. You’ll get exposure to alignment meetings, handoff points, stakeholder reviews, and the real-world coordination behind major launches.

How to Spot Risks Early and Keep Projects on Track

You’ll learn how to conduct basic risk assessments, identify potential roadblocks, and assist in developing mitigation strategies. You’ll see how project managers negotiate timelines, handle shifting priorities, and keep work on track even when things change.

How Vendors, Agencies, and External Partners Fit Into the Process

You’ll sit in on vendor calls, see how contracts and quotes are evaluated, and learn what it takes to manage external partners. You’ll watch how deadlines are negotiated and how outside resources are integrated into internal timelines.

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.
