Starting with the home improvement industry, we’re answering age-old questions like, “What is it going to look like?” and “What is it going to cost?”, by helping homeowners and pros visualize what’s possible with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and interactive 3D property models. Homeowners, contractors, and insurance professionals all use Hover to get fully measured, accurate, and interactive models of any property—in a matter of minutes, and with just a few snaps of a smartphone camera.

Join a team that is rooted in challenging the status quo, persistence, and dedicated to serving our employees, customers, and communities.

This role requires the ability to independently structure ambiguous problems, conduct analyses to make data-driven recommendations, and drive alignment and execution across functions and Leadership.

As a Senior Manager, Business Operations & Strategy, you will join a small team reporting to the VP of Business Operations & Strategy. This team sits at the intersection of our biggest company priorities, creating the opportunity to drive disproportionate impact.

You will thrive when jumping into new and varied problem spaces, pulling people together to workshop solutions, and conducting analyses to create business-impacting deliverables.

Corporate Strategy (~30% of bandwidth): Develop Board of Directors & investor materials, help drive company-wide planning cycles and own certain planning deliverables directly, conduct competitive & market sizing analyses,

Business Operations (~20% of bandwidth):Drive quarterly OKR reporting, design improvements to our company-wide operating rhythms and processes, help lead our internal communications rhythms, facilitate recurring weekly cross-functional meetings, and more.

Your background includes

6+ years of progressive work experience in management consulting, strategy, or similar roles

Proven ability to navigate and lead in cross-functional environments at all levels of seniority

Ability to tell compelling data-backed stories through slide decks, including clear and concise delivery of the main takeaways & recommendations

Demonstrated track record of structuring ambiguous problems and driving resulting projects all the way through to direct business impact

Experience cultivating broad business acumen and synthesizing large amounts of information quickly across a wide range of domains to create effective strategic recommendations
