Senior Product Manager
Company Overview
Construction is a trillion dollar industry that still runs largely on PDFs, rulers, and manual processes.
The biggest bottleneck is cost estimation. Takeoffs are manual and slow — estimators spend days counting materials from drawings by hand, and mistakes are costly.
Bobyard is automating construction takeoff with AI. We use computer vision and NLP to read drawings faster and more accurately than manual review, and we're working to bring more of pre-construction into software.
We're a small team backed by 8VC, Primary, and Pear.
Position Overview
As we scale our core product and launch new 0→1 bets, we're looking for a product leader who can own the roadmap end-to-end. You'll:
- Spend real time with customers: estimators, PMs, and GCs. Understand their workflow deeply.
- Shape vision and roadmap: decide what we build, what we cut, and why.
- Own 0→1 work: take ideas from concept to shipped, tested, and iterated.
- Work closely with engineering and design — no throw-it-over-the-wall handoffs.
- Align with marketing and sales on how we talk about what we build.
Desired Attributes
- High ownership and comfort with ambiguity — you figure things out and ship
- Fast learner — no construction background required, but you'll need to get up to speed quickly
- Genuine interest in an early-stage environment where the playbook isn't written yet
- Strong organizational skills — you'll get a lot of input from customers and need to turn it into a clear plan
Benefits
- Competitive salary plus equity options (target $140K–$170K)
- Work directly with a small, hands-on team
This is a full-time, in-person role in SF. We think we have a real product advantage in a large market — if you're excited to help us build on that and take care of our customers, we'd love to talk.
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.
