Product development, Intern

Manulife Product Development Interns are exposed to a wide range of product design and development experiences. There is a strong learning culture within the team, and interns are encouraged to be proactive about any questions or doubts they might have—whether related to assigned tasks, technical challenges, or product concepts.

• Conduct research on market trends, competitor products, and customer needs to inform product design decisions.
• Help develop and maintain product illustration templates and related calculations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (pricing, operations, marketing) to ensure smooth product implementation.
• Other ad-hoc tasks assigned to support product development initiatives.

Required Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing an undergraduate degree
• Self-motivated with a strong desire to learn
• Able to commit from May 2026 to Aug 2026
• Attention to detail and strong analytical skills.
