Product Management - Internship (f/m/x)

<p>We are looking for an ambitious student assistant (3+ months) who want more than a “normal internship”. As a <strong>Product Management Intern at Pactos</strong>, you will work side-by-side with the founding team (ex-BCG, TUM, WHU) and take full ownership of product initiatives from day one.</p> <p><strong>Pactos is the operating system for managing external workforces</strong> — the people companies hire through staffing providers and vendors rather than as employees. That&#39;s a &gt;€30bn market in Germany alone, run mostly on Excel and PDFs. We replace it with software.</p> <p>Today our platform is used by industrial companies, staffing agencies, and corporates managing compliance across their supplier base. We&#39;re seed-stage, ~20 people, growing fast, backed by HTGF and a strong angel base.</p> <h2 id="tasks">Tasks</h2> <ul> <li>🚀 Run discovery on at least one product area end-to-end — customer interviews, problem framing, scoping with engineering, shipping the first version.</li> <li>🧩 Own release communication: turn engineering work into clear changelogs, in-product updates, and customer-facing notes that actually get read.</li> <li>🤝 Sit in on customer calls (with our largest enterprise accounts and staffing providers), pull patterns out of what you hear, and feed them back into the roadmap.</li> <li>🛠 Build prototypes and dashboards on product adoption that the teams use in their weekly decisions — not decoration, decisions.</li> <li>💡 Identify and fix UX friction in the onboarding flow; ship improvements yourself where the scope allows.</li> <li>🦾 Build internal automations that connect our stack and remove recurring manual work for the team.</li> </ul> <p>You will work directly with the founders and our Senior PM. We won&#39;t hand you a curated intern project — you&#39;ll be working on the same problems we&#39;re working on, scoped to what you can realistically own.</p> <h2 id="requirements">Requirements</h2> <ul> <li>Currently in your studies or, in a gap year; ideally in CS, business informatics, management &amp; technology, engineering, or similar</li> <li>Excellent academic performance and/or outstanding extracurricular achievements</li> <li>Have built something before — a side project, an automationm a tool, a small product, a dataset, anything where you shipped, not just planned</li> <li>Think analytically and can defend a recommendation with data </li> <li>Communicate cleanly in writing — short, structured, no fluff</li> <li>Are comfortable in environments without a playbook and prefer figuring things out to being told</li> <li>Fluent in German and English</li> </ul> <p>Nice to have, not required: prior internship in a fast-moving B2B software company, basic coding skills, exposure to modern PM tools (Linear, Notion, etc.)</p> <h2 id="benefits">Benefits</h2> <ul> <li>Full ownership and responsibility from day one</li> <li>Direct collaboration with the founders and a steep learning curve in a dynamic, ambitious team with top-tier colleagues</li> <li>The opportunity to shape the future of work as part of a fast-scaling SaaS startup</li> <li>Possibility of working-student or full-time conversion for strong performers</li> <li>A modern workplace in central Munich and a team culture with ambition and fun (incl. events like Oktoberfest)</li> </ul> <p>Does this role sound like you?
