From Sonos’s careers page.
At Sonos we want to create the ultimate listening experience for our customers and know that it starts by listening to each other. As part of the Sonos team, you’ll collaborate with people of all styles, skill sets, and backgrounds to realize our vision while fostering a community where everyone feels included and empowered to do the best work of their lives.
Sonos is a sound experience company making it easier than ever for millions of listeners around the world to play more, hear more, and feel more. We’re seeking talented students to join Sonos’s Internship Program and explore what it means to blend creativity, technology, and sound. Our co-ops are an essential part of our team, bringing fresh ideas, learning from experts, and helping us push the boundaries of what’s possible. Come broaden your skills, share your input and pursue your passion with our 11-week internship experience.
Work Period: June 7 - August 20, 2027
Location & Schedule: This is a 40-hour-per-week position with a minimum of 4 days per week onsite in our Boston, MA office. There is no relocation or housing assistance for this position.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Help build a repeatable framework for competitive intelligence: a reporting structure that shows how Sonos and our competition go to market, then share 1-2 rounds of findings as it takes shape
- Dig into how competing brands show up: where they advertise, how much they’re talking (share of voice), the tone, the messaging, the creative they use, and then show how that compares to Sonos
- Pull in earned media data (press and social coverage) and work with our media teams to find what other platform metrics we can tap into
- Where we don’t have the data yet, figure out the best sources and workarounds: desk research, downloadable reports, or a simple collection of ads and creative in one shared spot
- Use AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini to build repeatable processes, like a monthly web scrape or an organized library of competitor content, and check the output before you rely on it
- Partner with Product Marketing, Product Management, and Go-To-Market to learn where we compete for the same customers, where strategies differ, and how we can position Sonos to win. Share what you learn at the end of the summer
