Product Marketing Manager - B2B Technical Software

Want to make a real difference in your Internship?

digiLab is an Exeter-based start-up developing cutting-edge AI software to tackle the biggest and most exciting challenges of today such as nuclear fusion, renewables, health and environmental sustainability. Our customers include the UKAEA, NATS, Jacobs, Airbus, EDF and South West Water. 

We help organisations across energy, engineering, and transport become AI-enabled in their digital transformation journey, by combining solution engineering, all-stages training, and the twinLab machine learning platform.

An ambitious business, we have grown from 5 to 30 people in under a year and a half - come and join us and be part of our journey!

We will be taking on three interns for up to 8 weeks this summer, funded through the [UKAEA Fusion Industry Programme Summer Placement](https://careers.ukaea.uk/early-careers/fusion-industry-programme/) scheme.  We work very closely with the UKAEA on a variety of projects - you will be a part of the team, working on real projects, from Day 1!

Some other benefits - we’re a 4-day week company (so no work on Fridays!); situated on Exeter’s beautiful and vibrant Quay; we have a strong sociable culture; are growing extremely quickly and are involved in a range of cutting-edge projects in the sustainability arena.  

Your salary will be £20,000 per annum pro-rated (so up to £3,077 for the duration of the placement).

Just as an additional bit of background for you, some comments from our three interns last year at the end of our time with us:

*“I’m very happy - this was my first full-time job and I think I’ve been spoilt!  The team never made me feel like an intern - I was treated on an even footing to everybody else; I always felt I could ask questions if necessary.  I feel I have now upskilled - I’d never done coding before, but can now fluently code and React - I’ve learnt a lot”*

*“I’ve really enjoyed my time here.  I’ve loved exploring Exeter, and have had a really broad spread of people to work with.  I’ve really enjoyed that aspect, as I've been able to learn from different people, who have different working styles.  Freddy has been amazing! He really cares about personal development as well as just the digiLab work.  The software engineer team really helped me.”*

*“Previous internships have not been anywhere near as good a learning experience. I was really surprised at how good the culture is and how much I enjoyed working here - everybody says sustainable, friendly etc - but it’s really true here.  I have been treated as an equal - I didn’t feel at all like an intern.  I felt valued, involved - including in all the extracurricular stuff”*

Hope that gives you a bit of a flavour.
