This role is 100% remote, and will require a Sunday-Thursday workweek.

Our Culture:

At the Founder Institute, we work a lot like the early-stage startups we support. That means things move fast, and we thrive on creativity, ownership, and a “let’s figure it out” mindset.Here’s what we look for in our team:

• You’re naturally entrepreneurial, self-motivated, and enjoy tackling challenges head-on.
• You prefer autonomy over hand-holding and don’t need a lot of oversight to get things done.
• You love learning new things, and when you hit a roadblock, your first instinct is to dig in, research, and find a solution—Google is your best friend.
• You’re open to feedback (even when it’s tough), and always looking to grow and improve—both personally and as part of the team.

If that sounds exciting to you, we’d love to hear from you. If not, no hard feelings—this kind of environment isn’t for everyone.

Still with us? Great—read on for more details!
