As a PM&I Summer Associate, you’ll work with cross-functional hybrid teams and leverage the best of Bain to continue to redefine Product Management in the age of AI. You’ll design, prototype, and launch new digital products, services, customer experiences, and businesses; sit at the intersection of strategy, product, and technology; and be a hands-on builder of modern digital solutions.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Identify and validate opportunities for innovation using human-centered design methods
- Translate user and business needs into product concepts, prototypes, and MVPs
- Contribute to product vision, strategy, and roadmap development for digital initiatives
- Partner with engineers, designers, and clients to test and iterate solutions rapidly
- Leverage emerging technologies — including AI, data platforms, and automation — to accelerate business outcomes
- Support agile ceremonies, define user stories, and help manage backlogs across cross-functional teams
- Support backlog & planning (story writing, acceptance criteria), contributing to lightweight PRDs and simple roadmap artifacts
- Document and share internship learnings to senior Bain leaders
This experience puts your product thinking and creativity to work on real business challenges, shaping solutions that are feasible, viable, and desirable.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
During the internship, you’ll build a practical understanding of:
- How Bain combines consulting rigor with product management discipline to drive innovation at the intersection of business objectives, user needs, and technical & operational feasibility
- The full product lifecycle, from user research, to ideation and prototyping, to launching and scaling solutions
- Human-centered design, design thinking, agile, and lean startup methods in a consulting context
- Stakeholder management, like sharing product tradeoffs with business leaders and translating technical elements into business and user implications
- Business case definition, including sizing, measuring, and tracking the business value of digital solutions
- How to collaborate effectively across disciplines — strategy, technology, and design
- How emerging tools and AI are reshaping how Bain builds and scales digital products
You’ll gain exposure to real client work while developing the product leadership, strategic thinking, and stakeholder management skills that will accelerate your career.
Successful interns will be considered for full-time offers to begin in Summer 2028.
ABOUT YOU
This role requires in-person collaboration. You’ll need to co-locate with your team at least three days a week, whether that’s in a Bain office or at a client site, which may require travel.
We’re looking for MBA students who:

- Have a strong mix of business acumen and technical curiosity
- Are excited by the challenge of translating ideas into scalable digital experiences

- Can rapidly absorb and interpret business context, technical information, and customer needs
- Are based in (or open to working from) New York or San Francisco
Pluses include:
- Prior experience in product management, startups, consulting, or technology
- Coursework from a related dual-degree program (e.g., engineering, computer science, design, or product management)
- Ability to use Gen-AI powered product development tools effectively (e.g., Cursor, Synthetic Users, V0, Loveable, etc.)

Get Access To All JobsTechnical Project Manager CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Technical Project Manager role qualify for CPT?
It qualifies if the duties directly relate to your field of study and your school's curriculum includes relevant coursework in project management, systems coordination, or a related discipline. Your DSO makes the final determination, so you'll need a written job offer describing the specific tasks before authorization is granted.
Can I do CPT as a Technical Project Manager at a startup?
Yes, employer size doesn't affect CPT eligibility. What matters is whether the company can provide a formal offer letter describing your role and how it connects to your degree. Startups without dedicated HR departments sometimes struggle with this documentation, so request the offer letter early and confirm it includes your start date, hours, and job duties.
How do I find Technical Project Manager jobs that accept CPT students?
Search Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers with work authorization history for F-1 students. Focus on companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications for technical roles, since that filing history signals familiarity with the authorization process and reduces the risk of an employer backing out after you disclose your CPT status.
Does CPT work experience as a Technical Project Manager count toward H-1B qualification?
CPT work experience can count toward the specialty occupation requirement for H-1B visa if the role required and used your bachelor's-level knowledge. Document your project deliverables, tools used, and reporting structure carefully during the CPT period. USCIS may request evidence of that experience if you later petition for H-1B visa through the same or a different employer.
What happens if my CPT end date doesn't align with the project timeline?
CPT authorization is tied to specific start and end dates on your I-20. Working beyond your authorized end date, even briefly, is an unauthorized employment violation. If the project extends, your DSO must issue an updated I-20 with the new end date before you continue working. Plan your authorization renewals at least two weeks before each deadline.
