Workshop Venture Partners - Founding Head of Product

• Student and Teacher Empathy. Classroom reality isn't abstract to you. You've designed for or worked closely with kids, teachers, or educators. • Product Craft. You have experience building and shipping products that users value. You can speak clearly about the tradeoffs you made and what you'd do differently now. • AI-Native Product Judgment. You use AI fluently in your own work and have strong judgment about where it belongs in high-trust classroom environments. You follow where AI capabilities are heading, but you care more about building useful, reliable, and responsible products than chasing novelty. • User Research Instincts. You know how to learn from teachers and students and turn what you hear into sharper roadmap choices. • Clarity of Thought. You make ambiguity easier to navigate. You can write crisp specs, explain tradeoffs, separate signal from noise, and help engineers, educators, executives, and district partners understand what matters and why. • Commercial Orientation. You understand that strong K-12 product decisions must account for adoption, implementation, renewals, procurement, and stakeholder trust. • Startup Orientation. You thrive in early-stage environments, embrace ambiguity, and stay hands-on even in senior roles. • PREFERRED BACKGROUNDS • We are open to several paths, including: • Former teachers, school leaders, or education operators who transitioned into product and have developed strong product craft. • Product leaders from edtech companies who have shipped instructional, student-facing, accessibility, or classroom workflow products. • Product builders who have worked on AI-enabled products and understand how to balance speed, quality, safety, and trust. • Product leaders from consumer or consumer-like companies who have shipped products that kids, families, or non-technical users choose to use regularly. • Multilingual candidates, former multilingual learners, or candidates with deep personal or professional experience in multilingual communities are especially encouraged to apply. • We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences.
