About Role

Rubrik's Managed Service Provider (MSP) business is a key strategic lever for the company. MSPs build data protection and cyber recovery services on top of vendor platforms like Rubrik and deliver them to their end customer. Getting the MSP experience right is both a product challenge and a business strategy challenge.

As a Product Management Intern on the MSP team, you will report to the Director of Product Management, Platform, driving forward-looking initiatives that shape roadmap direction and long-term product strategy. You'll take ownership of high-impact projects at the intersection of product strategy, cross-functional execution, and customer insight — working across engineering, design, sales, and customer-facing teams with direct exposure to MSP customers and their real-world operational challenges.
