What we do matters. Join us and unleash your potential!

What You’ll Do

We're looking for curious interns who want to be entrusted with real responsibility and who embrace the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

  • Research and analyze the competitive landscape across cyber resilience, data protection, and AI security — synthesizing findings into actionable insights that sharpen Rubrik's platform positioning and differentiation.
  • Help develop and refine platform messaging and value propositions that resonate with both technical practitioners and C-Suite executives, pressure-testing narratives with internal stakeholders and customer-facing teams.
  • Contribute to the creation of sales enablement assets — such as battlecards, one-pagers, pitch decks, and competitive objection-handling guides — that help a global sales force land Rubrik's platform story.
  • Partner with product marketing and demand generation to support a platform-level product launch or campaign initiative, gaining exposure to the end-to-end mechanics of a high-velocity GTM motion.
  • Own a strategic capstone project scoped to a real business need — such as a market segment analysis, buyer persona deep-dive, or emerging use case messaging framework — and present findings and recommendations to product marketing leadership.

Qualifications & Experience You'll Need

Education

  • Degree: Currently pursuing an MBA with a concentration or demonstrated interest in product marketing, technology strategy, or B2B go-to-market
  • Expected graduation: Spring 2027

Skills & Competencies

  • Storytelling & Communication: Exceptional ability to distill complex, technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives — whether in a written brief, a polished deck, or a live presentation to senior stakeholders
  • Analytical Rigor: Skilled at conducting market research and competitive analysis, synthesizing both qualitative and quantitative data, and translating findings into a clear "so what" with actionable, prioritized recommendations
  • Intellectual Curiosity: Genuine enthusiasm for cybersecurity, data infrastructure, and AI — you don't need to be a domain expert on day one, but you ramp quickly, ask sharp questions, and stay on top of emerging trends
  • Self-Direction & Bias for Action: You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments — proactively identifying opportunities, framing problems, and driving work forward without waiting to be told what to do
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Natural relationship builder who operates effectively at the intersection of product, sales, engineering, and demand generation — you know how to align diverse stakeholders and move initiatives forward

Preferred

  • Prior experience in product marketing, management consulting, product management, or a technical B2B environment
  • Familiarity with go-to-market frameworks, positioning and messaging development, or sales enablement
  • Exposure to the cybersecurity or enterprise technology landscape through coursework, prior roles, or personal interest
