About The Position
CarGurus is looking for a curious, collaborative, and motivated Technical Product Management (TPM) Intern to join our technology organization for Summer 2027.

You will partner with stakeholders across product, engineering, go-to-market, revenue, data, and product analytics teams—building foundational skills in stakeholder management, requirements definition, and technical collaboration that translate across any area of technology. As a TPM Intern, you will join an 11-week Summer Internship Program designed to give you hands-on experience, expand your professional network, and build core industry skills.
