About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You’ll design the systems that let Build scale. You’ll standardize the playbook and document what works, kill the bottlenecks and put AI and automation on the repetitive work so your team spends its energy where it actually moves the number.
Accountability for Build revenue and growth. You’ll own conversion by market, forecast performance, spot risk and opportunity early, and partner with the CEO, Head of Marketing, Product and Design Operations to clear anything standing between a client and a finished yard. When a market is underperforming, you build the plan and you fix it.
You’ll recruit, coach and develop a team of Build Project Managers who operate at a high level. You set clear expectations and KPIs, hold a high bar on accountability and build a culture of ownership, outcomes and speed.
You’ll ensure the contractors in our network consistently hit standards for conversion, responsiveness, quality and execution. You expand the network to fuel growth, only when the data deems necessary.
