In this role, you’ll be asked to get your hands dirty and build, apply advanced data models to your daily routine, and apply new methods to operating while making old habits obsolete.  You’ll be asked to step outside of your comfort zone - to think critically across all areas of our business model - both customer facing and across internal operations.

Our team has great people from all over the US and beyond, from all sorts of industries and all walks of life. We highly value the different perspectives and unique ideas that diversity brings to our company, and consider it an absolute necessity for our future.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Building, building, building

  • Identify processes to help the team solve ambiguous problems
  • Lead company-wide data-driven operational planning, resourcing, and optimization of product prioritization across the company
  • Advocate for using technology to solve our biggest business challenges
  • Work hand-in-hand with Product leadership to translate the most pressing business needs into our next product builds 
  • Assist and communicate with leadership in decision-making, program management, and initiative implementation


What you should have:

  • A deep desire to empower the skilled trades workforce
  • 7+ years of experience in Product Operations Management, Management Consulting, Program Management, Product Management, Project Management, or related experience
  • Bachelor's degree (MBA a plus) 
  • Experience managing and growing a team
  • Technical experience preferred across SQL/R/Python, applied statistics, data transformation and analysis, and/or advanced excel / g-suite capabilities
  • Ability to thrive in ambiguity and leverage data to drive solutions
  • A propensity to take bold bets, and more importantly: the willingness to fail
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to go from zero to one


What you’ll receive:

  • The ability to transform and improve the lives of our workers on a daily basis
  • Working alongside talented peers that will bring out the best in you
  • The opportunity to significantly impact the growth curve of an already high-growth business
  • High rewards commensurate with high performance
  • Unlimited PTO and generous benefits including 401k with company matching
