From Rundoo's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Our mission is to empower independent supply stores with best-in-class technology. Think of your local hardware store or mom-and-pop nursery—these are our clients. From paint to lumber to flooring, over 200,000 such stores across the country sell over $1T of building materials annually using outdated, on-premises systems. We’re aiming to help them modernize so that they can continue to thrive.
Backed by leading investors including Battery, Bessemer and CRV, we've raised $48M across four rounds and are growing quickly: We're live in over 500 stores across the USA, Canada, and the Caribbean, and integrated with over 20 industry partners. Our team is made up of builders, sellers, and industry veterans with a shared goal: to bring modern technology to an overlooked industry.
You'll be based out of the San Francisco Bay Area and own product research on new industries for Rundoo. Today, we serve paint, hardware, and farm & feed stores; we have a dozen more verticals on our radar (lumber, flooring, plumbing, auto, and more) and your role is to figure out which to enter and how.
That means defining the ICP for a new industry, quantifying it, talking to owners in their stores, mapping the GTM, sketching the roadmap of features Rundoo would need to build to win them, and getting the first few pilot clients live.
You'll report directly to our CEO, Nick
, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with the engineering team led by
Andrew.
You'll spend ample time with customers in their stores
. There is simply no replacement for in-person time spent with the customers.
Compensation
This is a brand-new role at Rundoo, so you'll be one of our first product hires. Your closest collaborators:
Nick
(CEO): studied math & computer science at Stanford; worked as a trader at Bridgewater & Citadel and as a PM at Google & Enigma; sets the industry priorities and the product bar 🍫
Andrew
(CTO): studied computer science & humanities at Stanford, worked as a software engineer at Apple and head of engineering at Anova; danced with the SF ballet (where he met his wife)! 🩰; you'll plan roadmaps with him and his team!
Your peer PM
: we're hiring two! The same role but with different industries 🙂
The GTM team
: assuming you launch successfully, you’ll work with Matt and Vidhan to start selling into this new industry.
: For us, understand your what you’re looking for. For you, what Rundoo and this role are about. Hopefully we both find it to be a good fit.
Take-home Overview & Chat with Nick (30 min)
Take-home: industry deep-dive (~1 week, paid)
: We find take homes are great predictors of success on the job. We’ll have you (a) talk to 3+ store owners via cold outreach, (b) size the market, (c) propose the top roadmap Rundoo needs to win, and (d) sketch a GTM hypothesis.
Onsite (full day, in-person)
: Pressure test the roadmap from your take-home with design, engineering, and GTM. Also, eat lunch.
