About Bobyard
Construction is a trillion dollar industry that still runs on manual work. Contractors measure and count materials off drawings by hand, and it takes forever. Bobyard uses AI to automate takeoffs and estimates so contractors can bid 10x faster. We raised a $35M Series A led by 8VC, with Pear, Primary, Tishman Speyer, and RXR. We started in landscaping and have since launched electrical, finishes, plumbing, and mechanical. We're growing uncomfortably fast.
About the role
We have more good ideas than people to run them. This role takes the hardest, least-defined problems at Bobyard — new trade launches, acquisitions, pricing, new lines of business — and turns them into decisions, and then into operating businesses. You'll work directly with our CEO and leadership on what we do next.
The point of this job is that you outgrow it. The best version of this hire is running one of these businesses as a GM inside 18 months. You don't need an MBA. We'd rather you spend those two years here.
What you'll do
Own special projects end to end — from "should we do this" through "it's running"
Build the business case: size the market, model the economics, make a call, defend it
Evaluate acquisitions and new lines of business, then help run the ones we go after
Get in the weeds — talk to contractors, sit with sales and CS, learn the trade before you model it
Turn one-off projects into playbooks someone else can run
Bring leadership a recommendation, not a menu of options
Take over a P&L when the work earns it
What we're looking for
2–4 years in investment banking, management consulting, or a comparable analytical seat
Top-tier undergrad with a strong academic record
First-principles thinking without the over-intellectualizing — you get to an answer and move
Excellent verbal communication: you can hold a room and make a case out loud, not just on a slide
Real quantitative chops — financial modeling, Excel, comfort with messy data
Something you've personally owned end to end, not just advised on
Bias to action. You'd rather be 80% right on Tuesday than 100% right next month.
Nice to have
SQL or hands-on analytics
M&A, diligence, or corp dev reps
Construction, real estate, industrials, or marketplace exposure
You've built or run something of your own
What we offer
A real path to running a business line, not a hypothetical one
A team that moves fast, owns outcomes, and doesn't hold meetings about meetings
Comp Philosophy
We are proud to offer competitive, top-of-market compensation because we want to celebrate the dedicated people who ship amazing work and drive our success. Our individual compensation is thoughtfully tailored based on your role, experience, and contributions, alongside performance-based rewards.
