Description

D.R. Horton, Inc., the largest homebuilder in the U.S., was founded in 1978 and is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. It is engaged in the construction and sale of high-quality homes designed principally for the entry-level and first time move-up markets. The Company also provides mortgage financing and title services for homebuyers through its mortgage and title subsidiaries. Please visit our website at www.drhorton.com for more information.

As the nation's largest homebuilder by volume, D.R. Horton is transforming how it uses data, AI, and digital solutions for the next generation of homebuilding, and we pair the reach of a national enterprise with a culture built on local ownership, practical innovation, and deep business partnerships. Our teams focus on solutions that work in the field and deliver real results, not technology for its own sake. In this role, you’ll have a critical opportunity to shape modern capabilities that will influence how the company operates for years to come.

D.R. Horton, Inc. is currently looking for a FinOps & Value Realization Lead. The FinOps & Value Realization Lead (also known as Value Realization / FinOps Lead) will help ensure investments in data, AI, cloud, platforms, and digital capabilities translate into measurable business value and sustainable economics. This role will connect financial transparency, unit economics, benefits realization, consumption management, and investment decisions so leaders can scale what works and address what does not. The ideal candidate combines financial discipline, technology fluency, analytical thinking, and the ability to influence decisions through clear evidence. Success in this role means every major investment has a tracked value case, AI and platform costs are understood per unit of work, and leaders scale or stop based on evidence.

• Analyze build, buy, partner, cloud, on-premises, and managed-service economics and communicate tradeoffs to leadership
• Create recurring portfolio reporting on investment, run cost, benefits, utilization, and scale decisions
• Validate realized benefits against approved business cases, distinguish financial savings from cost avoidance and productivity gains, and prevent duplicate attribution across initiatives
• Represent the function in cross-functional discovery, architecture, governance, operational-readiness, and continuous-improvement activities as appropriate
• Stay current on relevant data, AI, digital, software, and industry practices and apply new capabilities when they create practical business value
• Identify, shape, and pilot new opportunities where data, AI, and digital capabilities can create business value, operating with an owner's mindset and a bias toward building, testing, and learning quickly
• Conduct all business in a professional and ethical manner
• Ability to travel overnight
