About Rebar
Rebar is building the next-generation operating system for commercial HVAC, electrical, and plumbing suppliers and subcontractors. Over the past year, our V1 quoting product has scaled to thousands of quotes completed weekly, doubled headcount in 2026, and gained adoption across many of the top customers in North America. Fresh off a $14M Series A backed by leading construction tech investors, we're entering our next phase of growth, and we are looking for a People Operations Manager to support our team. You’ll work directly with the CEO & CoS as well as every team to support smooth day-to-day operations of the company and will serve as a key partner across HR, accounting, and executive support functions. We’re transforming the $250B HVAC industry with AI-native software - an industry still largely untouched by modern tools. This is your chance to get in early.

Collaborate with Marketing and Leadership to bring our employer brand to life through storytelling, events, and creative outreach that show who we are and why people love working here
