## Job description

Why join us? Handoff is the AI agent that runs a construction company. We help remodelers automate estimating, streamline operations, and win more work - backed by real-time cost data, intuitive design, and workflows that “speak contractor.” With over 10,000 monthly active users and $6B in annualized project volume already flowing through our platform, we’re becoming the trusted partner for the people who build our homes. We are backed by $25M+ raised from Y Combinator, Initialized, and Greycroft. Our team is distributed across hubs in Austin, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires, and we are deeply focused on building intuitive, high-impact solutions that make a real difference for our users.

Product Manager at Handoff We’re hiring a Product Manager to own the roadmap, strategy, and execution of a core product squad. In this role, you’ll lead engineers and designers to ship high-quality, high-impact features that improve contractor workflows, while connecting product decisions to measurable business and growth outcomes. This role is ideal for someone who combines a strong product mindset with customer obsession and a high bar for execution. You should be energized by complexity, detail-oriented, and excited to work in a fast-paced, AI-driven startup solving real-world problems for builders and remodelers.

## What you’ll do

- Own the squad roadmap, strategy, and execution for a core product area.
- Conduct continuous customer discovery - interviews, prototypes, field visits - and turn insights into clear specs, user stories, and priorities.
- Partner closely with engineering and design to iterate quickly and deliver intuitive, polished experiences.
- Define adoption, activation, and retention metrics; set up tracking, analyze performance, and iterate based on data.
- Produce and update our roadmap and communicate product direction across leadership and GTM teams.
- Translate features into benefits and customer outcomes, supporting sales, marketing, and onboarding with clear collateral.
- Sweat the details - QA, polish, and validate every flow and edge case before launch.
- Apply Handoff’s product principles - simplemaxxing, mobile-first, AI-first, and customer-obsession - to every design, feature, and product decision

## About you

- 3-5+ years of experience in Product Management, ideally in vertical SaaS.
- Experience building B2B SaaS products; with AI experience strongly preferred.
- Track record of shipping 0→1 or early-stage features.
- Strong skills in customer discovery, research, and ruthless prioritization.
- Proven ability to work hand-in-hand with engineers and designers in agile environments.
- Excellent writing and communication - able to produce crisp specs, epics, and roadmap docs.
- Excitement about construction, remodeling, and home services - genuine curiosity about contractors’ world.
- Bonus experience: CRM, project management tools, payments/fintech, AI-driven products, or PLG (product-led growth).
- Startup DNA - comfort in ambiguity, bias for action, stamina for fast-moving environments.

## What we offer

- Competitive Salary + Equity
- Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO)
- 401(k)
- Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
- Life & Disability Insurance
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Dependent Care FSA (DC FSA)
- Relocation Allowance

## About Handoff

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Handoff builds AI-native construction estimating and business management software for residential contractors.
- **Entity Type**: Private, venture-backed (YC W20, raised $5.9M–$20M)
- **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, USA (with hubs in São Paulo, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina)
- **Founded**: 2019
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed; originally developed by the team behind 1build, a YC‑backed construction pricing platform

## Core Business
- **Industries**: Construction technology (Contech), Artificial Intelligence, SaaS
- **Target Customers**: B2B – residential remodeling contractors and handymen (SMBs)
- **Mission/Purpose**: Replace the hours contractors spend on manual estimates with fast, accurate, AI‑powered automation so they can focus on running their businesses

## Products & Services
- **[Handoff AI Estimator](https://handoff.ai)**: An AI platform that generates detailed, localized construction cost estimates from blueprints, photos, or simple descriptions. It uses the proprietary **H1 model** to autonomously produce material takeoffs and cost breakdowns in minutes.
- **[Handoff Business Suite](https://handoff.ai)**: Integrated tools for client management, proposal generation, invoicing, pricing, and reputation management – all built to run a contractor’s entire operation.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metrics**:
  - Annual Revenue: $5M–$25M (LinkedIn estimate; not officially confirmed)
  - Total Funding: $5.9M (LinkedIn) **or** $20M (as part of parent 1build’s fundraising; conflicting reports)
  - **Growth**: 166.7% YoY headcount growth (58 employees), processing over 3,600 contractor estimates, and counting
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (W20 batch), top Silicon Valley VCs (via 1build – names not specified). One of the world’s largest construction suppliers uses H1 across all its locations.
- **Growth Signals**: Released H1, the first AI takeoff model that beats human estimators (81.6% vs 77.6% accuracy); expanding globally; hiring aggressively across engineering, sales, and marketing.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Superior AI**: H1 model achieves 81.6% accuracy on real blueprints – ahead of both human estimators (77.6%) and general frontier models (61.4%).
- **Niche Focus**: Built exclusively for residential contractors, unlike generic “for everyone” AI tools.
- **Data Moat**: Access to localized construction cost data from 1build’s existing integration network and materials supplier partnerships.
- **Speed Culture**: Weekly product shipping, lean teams, and fast decision-making that outpace larger competitors.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale adoption of the H1 model among the 600,000+ US remodeling contractors.
- Strengthen supplier integrations and win enterprise accounts (e.g., large material suppliers).
- Maintain high talent density by hiring “owners, not task-doers” across engineering, sales, and marketing.
- Keep hubs in US, Brazil, and Argentina to tap diverse talent while preserving synchronous collaboration.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: High bar, radical ownership, and direct communication. Titles don’t limit scope – engineers build product, marketers build systems.
- **Work Model**: Austin is fully onsite; São Paulo and Buenos Aires are hybrid (3 days/week in office). Relocation allowance for roles that require moving to a hub.
- **Perks**: Unlimited PTO, stock options for all full-time employees, and a no‑ghosting interview process.
- **Engineering & AI**: AI is not just the product – it’s embedded in how the company sells, recruits, codes, and improves workflows. Engineers ship weekly and own problems end‑to-end.
- **Interview Process**: 5–6 steps in 2–3 weeks, including a take-home on a real problem. AI tools are explicitly allowed. [handoff.ai](https://www.handoff.ai/careers/interview-guide)
- **Growth**: Small team by design → more ownership, faster feedback loops, and faster scope growth than at bigger companies.
