Product Owner/Manager - Homebuilding Industry

We are seeking a hands-on Product Owner with direct experience in the residential homebuilding, construction, or construction technology industry to lead the evolution of a SaaS platform designed specifically for home builders. This role requires someone who understands how builders operate-from sales, purchasing, construction scheduling, and accounting through project completion-and can translate those workflows into impactful product enhancements. This is not a strategy-only role. You will own the day-to-day execution of the product, manage a small Agile team, prioritize the backlog, work directly with customers, and ensure the platform continues solving real-world challenges for residential home builders. The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of builder operations, construction workflows, ERP/accounting integrations, and software product management, along with a passion for driving customer adoption and delivering measurable business value.

Key Areas of Responsibility

• Drive product adoption, customer engagement, and market growth within the residential homebuilding industry.
• Partner directly with home builders, construction managers, purchasing teams, and business stakeholders to understand operational challenges and identify opportunities for product enhancement.
• Gather customer feedback and transform builder needs into actionable product requirements and roadmap initiatives.
• Develop and execute product initiatives tied to measurable business outcomes, customer retention, and utilization metrics.
• Own the product suite end-to-end, including backlog management, sprint planning, release planning, and roadmap execution.
• Serve as the primary voice of the customer, ensuring product decisions align with builder workflows and industry best practices.
• Prioritize features and enhancements based on customer value, business impact, and technical feasibility.
• Collaborate with Product Leadership to align tactical execution with long-term product strategy.

• Accounting and financial processes
• Production and field operations
• Work directly with builders to understand how information flows from sales through construction and accounting systems.
• Identify opportunities to streamline builder processes through automation, workflow improvements, and technology enhancements.
• Ensure product functionality aligns with the operational realities of residential construction businesses.
• Manage day-to-day execution of a major modernization initiative, transitioning the platform from a legacy ColdFusion application to a modern browser-based solution utilizing .NET web services and Blazor.
• Balance support and enhancement of the existing platform while guiding development of the next-generation solution.
• Partner closely with development, QA, and business teams to ensure successful delivery of modernization milestones.
• Lead and mentor a growing Agile product team consisting of Business Analysts, QA Engineers, and Software Developers.
• Remove obstacles impacting team productivity and successful sprint delivery.
• Foster accountability, collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement.
• Help establish product management best practices, standards, and processes.
• Champion AI initiatives across both the product and the team.
• Identify opportunities to deliver meaningful AI-powered capabilities that simplify builder workflows and improve operational efficiency.
• Utilize AI tools and automation to accelerate research, planning, product delivery, and decision-making.
• Collaborate with leadership and development teams to prioritize and deliver AI-enabled product features.
