Homebound is proud to be named one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces of 2023.

About The Role:

Homebound’s product organization is growing, and we’re seeking a product manager with a deep understanding of residential construction. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in leveraging technology to enhance residential construction processes. We welcome applicants with non-traditional backgrounds who possess significant experience in the construction industry.

You will partner closely with design, engineering, and our machine learning teams to build next generation connected workflows for personas across the business including homeowners, architects, designers, estimators, construction superintendents, and trade partners. We are looking for someone who embodies our values of being one team that executes relentlessly to build what has never been built before: a technology-enabled, scaled-up custom home builder.

What You'll Do

• Deliver on cutting-edge, user-centric solutions that optimize residential construction workflows, integrating human expertise with technology to deliver exceptional user experiences

• Define and communicate a comprehensive vision for improving our fully connected homebuilding platform, fostering alignment across cross-functional teams

• Collaborate with stakeholders to formulate overarching strategy, vision, and roadmap for product development

• Be a subject matter expert on homebuilding and all its inner workings and complexity; you should be just as comfortable problem solving with a director of construction as you are with a designer or an engineer 

• Make hard, high-stakes trade-offs between features, choosing those that are most likely to ensure that both business goals and user needs are met

• Identify product gaps and gather product requirements through internal research, market research, customer research, and data analysis

• Develop and maintain product specifications, user stories, and use cases to guide the development team in building the product

What You'll Bring:

• 5 - 7 years of a combination of product + related experiences (e.g., residential construction, procurement processes, construction technology)

• Knowledge of residential construction industry-specific workflows or residential construction software capabilities such as Build Pro, Supply Pro, or Procore

• Excellent oral and written communication skills including the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Ability to take something complex and break it down in a way someone with no business or technology experience could understand

• Both technically deep and business savvy enough to interface with all levels and disciplines within the organization

• Experience in managing and prioritizing short-term business needs against larger strategic bets

• Ability to use data to inform decision making and measure results of released products to make informed recommendations for improvements

• Ability to work on a distributed, diverse team

• Willing to travel once a month for in-person working sessions

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.
