About the role

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

What they'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
More about this role

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.
