Internship: Project & Product Manager

We want to build a squad of talented individuals with exciting potential, curiosity, and initiative who will work alongside our team and craft exciting internal products that will give you invaluable professional experience.

You'll collaborate in a supportive, dynamic environment, solving real challenges and growing your skills. And, just to be clear, you won’t be fetching coffee. Our Interns are full team members — in fact, we’ve hired the last 5 interns we took on. Whilst we can’t promise you’ll go on to get hired, we can promise that you’ll get the same respect, support, and benefits as anyone else.

Now, before you check out the role, hold up. Let’s be very clear. We are not expecting you to have bucketloads of experience or be exceptional at any of the requirements listed. We are looking for a future version of you, so we are more interested in what you can learn and progress in other than your current skill set. What will set you apart from the rest in the application is clarity in expressing why you are the right fit through sharing your passion for developing a career in digital products, why this opportunity will be great for you and what you can bring to the table to Significa.

One last thing: this is all in English because our working language is English. We do not expect you to be fluent, but it’ll help if you’re proficient in English.

It is also important to note that we are proud to be from Porto. We want to ensure that our commitment to supporting the local talent in our community is reflected in prioritising applicants living in the Porto/Gaia region.

The Role

As a Project Manager Intern, you’ll ensure that everything runs smoothly. You’ll coordinate between designers, developers, and any other stakeholders, helping the team stay on track and deliver quality results on time. You’ll gain firsthand experience in managing a product from start to finish and see how collaboration brings a project to life; you’ll also learn from our more experienced PMs in shadowing live client-facing projects and take those learnings to your own.

What you'll learn to do

• Organise and manage project timelines, ensuring deadlines are met.

• Act as a bridge between different departments, facilitating clear communication.

• Help identify risks and find solutions to keep the project moving forward.

• Track progress against goals and report regularly to team leads.

• Foster a collaborative and motivating environment for the entire team.

What you'll need

• Strong communication and organisational skills.

• A proactive mindset and the ability to manage multiple priorities.

• A keen interest in product management and team coordination.

• A willingness to learn project management tools

• Proficiency in English.

Benefits and perks

What you can expect at Significa

• Real work, real impact: You won't be sitting on the sidelines. Your work will matter; you'll see how your contributions shape our products and services.

• You’re included: Whether you're an intern or senior, your voice is heard, and your ideas are valued equally. This is reflected in the fact that you'll have access to all our perks and benefits, including your 9.63€ per day meal card - all from your first day. You’re on the team.

• Growth & Mentorship: You'll learn from our team and get hands-on guidance throughout your journey with us. You'll participate in team meetings, gain growth-based experiences such as giving department presentations, receive formal performance reviews, engage in feedback sessions and have regular growth-centred one-on-ones with your team manager.

• Great Environment: Remember what we said about being on the team? That means we trust you. You work the hours that work for you — we value a healthy work-life balance. We like to be around each other in our office in downtown Porto, so you'll enjoy socials, lunchtime barbecues (pretty much any day the sun shines!) and the occasional cold beer at the end of the day. We are very serious about our work but value having fun along the way. The bottom line is that we are driven by results, not stiff regulations on working hours.
