About Instill Education

What we do

We are a ground-breaking organisation with a vision to transform leadership, teaching, and learning in every African classroom.

Working for us will immerse you in an education start-up that is changing the face of teacher development in South Africa. We're a small team with a huge vision, we're looking for dreamers who want to not only be part of a growing organisation, but one that is trying to change the face of education in South Africa.

We are looking for an up and coming technologist with a desire to make organisations run more effectively through innovative tech platforms and sound data management. If you also have an interest in education then this is definitely the place for you, although this is by no means a requirement. You have some experience in working with data, building systems, and thinking creatively to solve problems in an entrepreneurial manner. You are not afraid to immerse yourself in completely new contexts and tackle complex problems. You thrive in uncertain situations, and are able to work with a diverse team to design, test and implement education solutions that produce demonstrable results. You are not afraid of failure, and are driven to improve through robust, data driven decision making and feedback. You are able to take different education models from around the world, and mould them with the help of local experts into truly tailored solutions for teachers in varied and challenging education contexts.

We are a diverse team of entrepreneurs and educationists, working to tackle one of the biggest challenges in education. We work hard, but like to keep things flexible so that the team can manage a life outside of the office.

We are not committed to a technology so what is more important to us is the ability to learn quickly and to solve problems everyday while looking out for new solutions.
