About the Role
This is a unique internship opportunity offered through the company Imagine, an open design and product challenge in Saudi Arabia. The internship is awarded to the top three entrants of the challenge based on their innovative product ideas. This internship is designed for individuals who are eager to grow quickly in the fields of product and design. There is no CV screening; shortlisted candidates will be those who showcase their product thinking through the challenge.

Key Responsibilities
Interns will engage in real product decisions under the guidance of senior team members, encompassing the entire product lifecycle:

• Product Work End to End:

  • Identify a genuine problem within the company app, from problem definition to implementation of changes.
  • Conduct research, connecting with users and analyzing data to diagnose issues accurately.
  • Assess the scope of the problem and clearly communicate what you would choose not to pursue.

• Design:

  • Create solutions using Figma, laying out user flows, screens, states, and edge cases.
  • Engage in critique sessions with product and design teams, refining your work based on feedback.
  • Collaborate with engineers through the handoff process and remain involved until the release of the product.

• After Launch:

  • Measure outcomes effectively, assessing whether the solution was successful.
  • Provide honest feedback to the team, including results that do not meet expectations.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration:

  • Work together with engineers, analysts, and product managers around shared challenges.
  • Present your findings, defend your decisions, and adapt your perspectives based on evidence.
  • Document your work clearly for team members who may not have been present.
