About the Role
As a Venture Builder, you will specialize in taking ideas from zero to venture-backable businesses. You will work closely with founders to shape strategy, validate problem spaces, build MVPs, and find early product market fit. This is a hands-on role requiring high ownership, operating across product, design, growth, and tech, moving fast, making decisions, and focusing relentlessly on what creates the most leverage at each stage of a venture. You should have a varied skill set and demonstrated interest in tech and entrepreneurship, advocating for FF’s values and mission while supporting founders. You are opinionated but evidence-led, creative but commercial, and comfortable operating in ambiguity, with a deep care for building desirable and scalable products.
Responsibilities
- Owning the end-to-end early build, from problem definition and MVP scoping through to shipping, testing, and iteration
- Getting products into users hands fast, using lean, experimental approaches to validate assumptions and generate learning
- Shaping the customer experience and product vision, balancing user needs with commercial and technical realities
- Working closely with founders to challenge thinking, sharpen focus, and drive momentum, especially when things feel unclear or uncomfortable
- Helping ventures progress through studio stage gates, supporting founders towards strong, evidence-backed IC decisions
- Spotting opportunities early by staying close to market dynamics, emerging tech, and real user behaviour
- Communicating clearly and regularly, sharing progress, learnings, trade-offs, and recommendations with founders and the wider studio
Requirements
- Proven experience building 0→1 products or ventures, ideally across multiple disciplines
- Driving momentum by subscribing to lean methodologies and an experimental approach, prioritizing speed, learning, and focus over perfection
- Comfortable wearing multiple hats (product, design, tech, growth) and knowing when to pull in specialist support
- Strong technical mindset, with the ability to build no-code / low-code solutions, prototypes, or proofs of concept to accelerate validation
- Commercially curious with the ability to think about ICPs, value propositions, pricing hypotheses, and early GTM alongside product
- Communicating your ideas, progress and learnings to the team, seeking feedback when needed
- Comfortable setting expectations and ways of working with founders, and maintaining strong, honest working relationships
- Thrive in ambiguity and enjoy solving messy problems
- Quick thinking and intuition, balancing creativity with objective data
- A passion for creating products people love, caring about product performance is key
- The ability to adapt and operate in an ambiguous environment
- Comfortable with taking calculated risks and learning fast
- Wanting to continuously improve your skills and productivity, challenging yourself when you can
- Strong leadership that drives outcomes
- Being approachable and optimistic
- Not a pure designer or engineer
- Not a consultant writing decks from the sidelines
- Not a 9–5 role
- Built products from scratch before
