Instructor, University

Profound is on a mission to help companies understand and control their AI presence. We created a new practice area called Marketing Engineering, and we are hiring the person who will teach it to the world.

There are no textbooks for Marketing Engineering. No established curricula. No credentialing bodies. The knowledge lives in the heads of a handful of practitioners, and the market is moving faster than anyone can document it. You will build Profound University’s course catalog from the ground up, writing, filming, and producing the content that defines an entirely new discipline.

You have done something like this before. You have taught in a bootcamp, immersive program, or cohort-based platform that changed people’s careers. You can turn complex, ambiguous material into a structured learning path that makes someone genuinely capable of doing new work. You are exceptional on camera, and you can concept a course, script it, film it, ship it, and improve it the next week.

You treat curriculum like a product with versions, metrics, and iteration cycles.

• Design, script, film, and produce 8 to 12 complete courses in year one, owning everything from learning objectives to assessments

• Serve as a primary on-camera voice of Profound University, teaching with energy and authority

• Architect the full course catalog and learning paths across introductory, practitioner, and advanced certification tracks

• Write certification rubrics with deliberate difficulty scaling

• Build curriculum rooted in Marketing Engineering as a discipline, not product walkthroughs, but structured thinking that makes someone genuinely effective in the field

• Own the full production workflow including scripting, filming, review, and iteration at high volume without sacrificing rigor

• Collaborate with Data, Research, Marketing, and Product teams to translate evolving frameworks into current curriculum

• Design assessments that test applied competency such as recorded walkthroughs, live builds, and diagnostic exercises

• Continuously version and update courses as the discipline evolves

• Experience building and delivering courses in an immersive, career-focused environment such as a bootcamp, professional certificate program, or cohort-based platform

• Exceptional on camera, clear, engaging, and confident teaching complex material

• Experience building curriculum in emerging fields where no textbook exists

• Exceptional writer capable of translating dense technical concepts into practical instruction

• Systems thinker who designs progression paths and feedback loops rather than isolated lessons

• Comfortable shipping multiple courses per year without sacrificing rigor

• Deeply curious about AI, search, and how information discovery is changing

• Motivated by learner outcomes above all else, focused on whether students can actually apply what they learn
