Product Marketing and Strategy Intern

Introduction

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.

Help build and maintain competitive demo environments that showcase IBM Quantum’s strengths in market. In particular with focus on exhibiting IBM Quantum in various cloud environments in order to showcase its ability to integrate in hybrid environments with classical development in a seamless fashion.

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

Gather feedback from prospects and partners to continuously sharpen what resonates and what falls flat
