About Bobyard
Construction is a multi-trillion-dollar industry that still estimates by hand. Contractors measure and count materials off drawings manually, and it caps how many jobs they can bid. Bobyard uses computer vision and NLP to automate takeoffs and estimates, so contractors bid faster and win more. We raised a $35M Series A led by 8VC, with Primary and Pear, and we're growing fast.
About the role
As we scale the core takeoff platform and launch new 0→1 bets, you will own a roadmap end to end. You will spend real time with estimators, PMs, and GCs, decide what we build and what we cut — and why — and ship it with engineering and design, with no handoffs.
This is a senior IC role with real scope, not a feature factory. You own outcomes for your product area: adoption, quality, and revenue impact, not just shipped tickets.
What you'll own
A product area's roadmap end to end: what we build, what we cut, and the reasoning you can defend to engineering, sales, and customers
0→1 products from thesis to shipped, tested, iterated, and adopted — with traction you can quantify
Deep customer expertise: you know the estimator / PM / GC workflow cold because you have spent real time in it, not because you read a summary
Decisions with ML and engineering on where models automate and where humans stay in the loop
Alignment with engineering, design, sales, marketing, and CS on positioning, pricing, and launches
The practice, not just your roadmap: you raise the bar for how product is spec'd, prioritized, and discovered here, and you mentor other PMs
What success looks like in 90 days
A roadmap for your area with a clear thesis, named tradeoffs, and metrics you own — not a list of features
At least one 0→1 bet or major iteration shipped to real customers, with adoption and feedback you can report
A discovery and spec process the rest of the product org can actually reuse
What we're looking for
5+ years in product management in B2B SaaS, owning a product or product area — not contributing to someone else's roadmap
Shipped at least one 0→1 product with real, quantified customer traction (adoption, revenue, or workflow impact — bring numbers, not adjectives)
Built AI/ML-driven products or B2B software for complex, workflow-heavy users
You turn heavy, conflicting customer input into a clear plan, and you can explain your reasoning under ambiguity
You have mentored PMs or helped build a product practice — or you are ready to, and can show where you raised a team's bar before
High ownership, low need for coaching: you shape incomplete playbooks, context, and requirements yourself
Nice to have
Construction, pre-construction, or estimating workflow experience
Pricing and packaging work
Experience with computer vision / document-understanding products
A note on pace
We move fast, and priorities shift as we learn from customers. That is not an excuse for chaos: you are expected to bring order to it — to define the process where none exists, and to hold scope when everything feels urgent. If shaping ambiguity into a shipped product excites you, you'll fit in well. If you need a complete playbook before you start, you won't.

Bobyard Insights
What We Do
Construction is one of the largest industries in the world, but it is also one of the least technologically innovative spaces. Conducting fast and accurate cost estimates is a massive pain point. Bobyard automates the construction takeoff process with CV and NLP models to make cost estimates 10x faster while eliminating mistakes.
