Product Marketing and Strategy Intern 2027

About the role

We're looking for a Product Marketing Intern to help make quantum computing tangible for people who've never touched a qubit, and to make it obvious why our approach stands apart. You'll work with product, research, and sales teams to build demos that don't just explain what our platform does, but sharpen the story of what makes it different and better in a crowded, fast‑moving market.

Responsibilities

• Help build and maintain competitive demo environments that showcase IBM Quantum's strengths in market, with a focus on exhibiting IBM Quantum in various cloud environments to demonstrate seamless integration with hybrid classical development.
• Translate technical differentiators into demo narratives that stick, creating moments where the audience “gets it” without needing a comparison chart.
• Partner with research/engineering teams to identify which results are most demo‑worthy and where our platform shows its best side.
• Create supporting materials, including demo scripts, one‑pagers, and FAQs, that subtly reinforce our positioning in the market.
• Monitor how technical audiences react to competing demos or announcements at industry events, and feed that insight back into how we shape our own demos.
• Gather feedback from prospects and partners to continuously sharpen what resonates and what falls flat.

Education

Bachelor's Degree Required

Technical and Professional Expertise

• Currently pursuing a degree in physics, computer science, engineering, marketing, or a related field.
• Basic familiarity with quantum computing concepts (qubits, superposition, entanglement, gates).
• Strong written communication skills.
• Curiosity about the broader quantum computing landscape, including who's building what and how the market is evolving.

Technical and Professional Experience

• Comfortable with Python; exposure to Qiskit or similar frameworks is a plus.
• Experience with AWS and Aszue classical development environments is a plus.
• Familiarity with the general landscape of quantum computing providers and their approaches (superconducting, trapped‑ion, photonic, etc.).
• Interest in how technical products get positioned and sold in enterprise or research markets.
