Role overview

CarGurus is looking for a curious, collaborative, and motivated Technical Product Management (TPM) Intern to join our technology organization for Summer 2027. In this role, you will work closely with a Senior TPM and gain hands-on experience supporting how complex, cross-functional technology programs are planned, coordinated, and delivered.

You will partner with stakeholders across product, engineering, go-to-market, revenue, data, and product analytics teams—building foundational skills in stakeholder management, requirements definition, and technical collaboration that translate across any area of technology.

As a TPM Intern, you will join an 11-week Summer Internship Program designed to give you hands-on experience, expand your professional network, and build core industry skills. This full-time opportunity (40 hours per week) runs from June through August 2027. CarGurus operates on a hybrid working model, and candidates should expect to work out of our Boston, MA office 60% of the time (approximately three days per week).

What you'll do

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including engineering, data, product, marketing, sales, and account management—to support program planning and delivery.
• Assist in gathering and synthesizing inputs from stakeholders groups to inform priorities and decisions.
• Participate in defining requirements and writing clear, well-scoped user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Support tracking of program and product performance metrics, surfacing trends and opportunities for improvement.
• Contribute to go-to-market and launch activities by helping prepare documentation, communications, and cross-team coordination.
• Present findings, updates, and recommendations to stakeholders in meetings and program reviews.
• Conduct research and analysis—including competitive landscape reviews—to help inform product and program strategy.

What you'll bring

• A strong sense of curiosity and eagerness to understand how complex systems and organizations work.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills, with comfort navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities.
• Clear and effective communication skills—written and verbal—with the ability to tailor messaging to different audiences.
• A collaborative, proactive approach to work with strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Genuine interest in technology, product development, or program/project management.
• Prior internship, project, or leadership experience is a plus but not required—engagement in student organizations, clubs, or fellowship/scholarship programs is equally valued.
• Currently pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Business, Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, Social Sciences, or a related field.
