About the role

You’re the operational engine behind New Markets’ newest product bets. You’ll own the end-to-end go-to-market lifecycle for pod products, from market sizing and early strategy through launch, performance tracking, and the handoff when a product graduates into the core. When a pod proves customers will pay, you make that motion repeatable and hand it to the full seller base. This is a blank-page job: the playbook doesn’t exist yet, and you’ll write it.

What they're looking for

  • Five or more years in sales operations, revenue operations, or a related go-to-market function
  • Real experience supporting new-product launches or emerging-business initiatives, where the playbook didn’t exist yet
  • Three or more years hands-on in Salesforce, building and maintaining reports, dashboards, and data structures
  • Advanced Excel, comfortable building models, running variance analysis, and turning raw data into decision-ready output
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, including executive-level presentations. A bachelor’s degree is preferred
More about this role

At Instructure , we believe in the power of people to grow and succeed throughout their lives. Our goal is to amplify that power by creating intuitive products that simplify learning and personal development, facilitate meaningful relationships, and inspire people to go further in their education and careers.

We do this by giving smart, creative, passionate people opportunities to create awesome. And that's where you come in:

Foundry is a new division inside Instructure, built to generate new revenue with AI-built products. We operate as a portfolio of small pods, each charged with one product bet, under tight weekly governance. They operate independently, with dedicated resources, separate from the core business on purpose: different pace, different governance, and different rewards.

Our goal is to generate meaningful revenue within 12 to 18 months, so this isn’t an innovation lab. We’re building scaled businesses that customers pay for and retain well, and we’re measuring ourselves on revenue, not activity.

Instructure reaches roughly half of higher education in the United States, connecting a credential network of more than 13,000 institutions. Pair that distribution and data...
