Role details
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, strategic direction, execution, traction and outcomes for a core product area.
- Identify and prioritize the highest-leverage customer and business problems, making clear tradeoffs about what we build and what we don’t.
- Conduct continuous customer discovery - interviews, prototypes, field visits, user behavior - and turn insights into clear specs, user stories, and priorities.
- Partner closely engineering and design from ambiguous problems to simple, polished solutions, iterating quickly from discovery through launch and beyond.
- Define success metrics, set up tracking, analyze performance, and drive measurable improvements in adoption, activation, retention, and business outcomes.
- Produce and update our roadmap and communicate product direction across leadership and GTM teams.
- Translate features into benefits, positioning 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
