Description
At Instructure, we believe in the power of people to grow and succeed throughout their lives.
As a Pod Founder, you'll start a company around a problem worth a business, prove customers will pay for the answer in weeks, and build and sell the product yourself.
Responsibilities
- Find and validate the problem. Bring founder-level conviction about a specific problem worth building a business around.
- Build the product. Author the specs, the product context, and the customer findings.
- Sell it. Land the first pilot, prove customers will pay, and get to general availability and the first paying customers beyond the pilot.
- Run the business. Own your pod's profit and loss, hit the stage-gates, and make the call when the evidence says change course.
Requirements
- A builder's instinct and a commercial mind in the same person , a design and engineering sensibility paired with a feel for what customers will actually pay for.
- Evidence you've shipped something real and put it in front of customers, ideally something you started or owned.
- The judgment to work across product, sales, marketing, and support without waiting for a function to do it for you.
- A bias for the customer over the org chart.
- The range to build and sell well enough that a two-person team is genuinely enough.

- Flexible work culture.
- Generous time off, including local holidays and our annual “Dim the Lights” period.
- Comprehensive wellness programs and mental health support.
