Key skills for this role
Today, contractors juggle a stack of disconnected tools to run their business: a CRM, a measurement app, an estimating tool, a photo app. Hover already owns the measurement. Now we're building the estimate, the step that turns a completed scope into a signed deal.
We just launched a major update to our estimation product, and it's showing early signs of success with enterprise customers testing it in the real world. You'll lead the team that takes it further, building an estimating product that stands on its own, tightly integrated with Hover's measurements and our 3D generative AI interaction product. It sits on top of Hover's property data, where we're giving contractors and adjusters new ways to see a property and derive the work to be done from it.
You'll own the roadmap for Hover's estimating product line end to end, making the case for what wins with enterprise customers rather than shipping a feature list. That means defining and moving two connected but distinct use cases, retail and restoration/insurance claims, without forking the product, the roadmap, or the team. You'll manage the Estimates team directly (six engineers today) and partner weekly with a standing product, design, and data group to keep everyone shipping toward one agreed direction.
On the technical side, you'll lead the move to a more flexible estimating engine, one that can take in more kinds of inputs, including what comes out of an inspection or assessment, without forking logic per use case. You'll also reduce the cost of maintaining the estimates system we already have, including an in-flight consolidation into the main application, favoring removal of legacy functionality over building around it, and partner with the catalog team to build a standalone pricing function so a Hover estimate can carry its own pricing. Along the way, you'll sit directly in front of the enterprise customers whose workflows are shaping this roadmap, and hire and grow the team as scope expands.
