Job Description

2017 Internship – Arity Product Manager (Chicago,IL)

As an Arity Product Manager Intern, you will be working with Allstate’s newest startup. Located in downtown Chicago, Arity is a telematics company helping companies better evaluate risk and enabling safer driving experiences. We’ll pair you with an experienced product manager mentor and give you a clear goal to achieve. By the end of the summer you will have brought a new product feature from an idea to beginning market testing. You must possess a unique blend of business and technical savvy; a big-picture vision, and the drive to make that vision a reality. You must be able to communicate with all areas of the company. A product manager’s key role is strategic, not tactical. The other organizations will support your strategic efforts; you won’t be supporting their tactical tasks. You will be accountable for ensuring that the right product is defined, prioritized, and built.
