Product Manager Intern

Here at Appian, we’re passionate about technology. We love making it, and we love using it. Joining Appian Engineering will provide you with the opportunity to learn in an environment that values cross-functional collaboration and is committed to personal and professional growth. We want to revolutionize the way people work, and in doing so, we develop the Appian platform to be simple so our customers can thrive. 

As a Product Manager Intern, you’ll be embedded as a product owner on a small team of engineers, interacting with key stakeholders, and owning the prioritized product development backlog to ensure your team delivers high-quality software with each and every iteration. Day to day you’ll share ideas and receive feedback on features through design sessions, mockups, UX reviews, and usability testing to ensure user success before a new release.

This internship is based at our headquarters in McLean, Virginia. Appian was built on a culture of in-person collaboration, which we believe is a key driver of our mission to be the best. Interns in this program are expected to be in the office 5 days a week to fully experience our culture, learn directly from peers and mentors, and contribute to projects in a collaborative environment. Being in the office provides more opportunities to connect, learn, and celebrate with the exceptional people across Appian.
