Product Owner Intern (MBA) SaaS

Job Description

At xPL Studio , we don’t just invest in startups; we build them from scratch. xPL Studio is the venture builder, operating as an institutional co-founder that transforms raw ideas into validated, market-ready companies. We combine the agility of a startup with the resources and discipline of an established organization, moving from zero to one faster, smarter, and with measurably lower risk than traditional startup paths. Our “venture factory” model means we are always building: testing hypotheses, launching MVPs, recruiting founding teams, and scaling products across multiple verticals simultaneously. SaaS is at the heart of how we think about scalable, high-impact business models, and that’s exactly where you come in. If you are an MBA student who wants to do more than sit in meetings and build decks, this is your seat at the table. Tasks As a Product Owner Intern at xPL Studio , you will be embedded directly into one of our active SaaS venture builds. This is not a shadowing role; you will own real product decisions, work within a live agile team, and contribute to a product that is actively being shaped for market launch or growth. You will work alongside our Head of New Ventures, technical leads, and business architects to bridge the gap between strategy and execution. You will translate business needs into product requirements, manage a live backlog, and engage with real users and stakeholders, gaining the kind of hands-on product experience that most people spend years waiting for. This internship is designed to challenge you, stretch your thinking, and leave you with a portfolio of work you can speak to with confidence.
