Product Manager, Mobile

About the job

At BuildOps, we’re building a groundbreaking software solution, purpose-built to support today’s commercial contractors. From helping our customers manage their service department all the way to project management, we’re breaking the mold and building a team that invests in our mission statement. We love driven, self-motivated folks experienced in tech start-ups and thrive in fast-paced environments. Could you be our next hire?

This candidate will join a well-funded, fast-growing technology startup with the unique opportunity to help build out a critical function for the company.

As a Product Manager on our Mobile team, you'll be the connective tissue between engineering, design, and the technicians who rely on our app every day out in the field. You'll run point on sprint planning, grooming, and retros, turn customer feedback into well-scoped tickets, and make the fast, in-the-weeds prioritization calls that keep the team shipping. Over time, you'll build deep expertise in the core mechanics that make a great mobile experience — navigation, data loading, and offline sync — and become the person other product domains turn to when they need their features to work well on mobile.

What You'll Do:

Drive sprint cadence for the mobile team — leading grooming, planning, and retros, and keeping the team focused on the right work at the right time

Write clear, well-scoped tickets and make the day-to-day prioritization calls (bug vs. task, now vs. next) that keep the backlog healthy and the team unblocked

Own release notes and feature announcements for mobile, keeping customers and the company informed on what's shipping

Meet directly with customers and field technicians to gather feedback and turn it into concrete product improvements

Spot when engineers are blocked and escalate quickly to keep execution moving

Ensure fix versions and release scope stay aligned with the broader roadmap, partnering with engineering leads to ship predictably

Develop deep fluency in the technical fundamentals of the mobile experience — navigation, data loading, and offline sync — and use that expertise to help other product domains design features that work well on mobile

What We Look For:

2+ years of product management experience, or equivalent experience (engineering, QA, technical program management) with direct exposure to shipping software

Strong organizational skills — comfortable owning the mechanics of agile execution (grooming, planning, standups, retros) and keeping a backlog clean and current

Clear written communication — you can write a good ticket, a crisp release note, and an announcement people actually read

Comfortable talking directly to customers and translating open-ended feedback into a scoped, actionable ticket

Genuine curiosity about how mobile apps work under the hood — navigation patterns, data loading, offline/sync behavior — and the persistence to dig in

A bias toward action: you'd rather ship something this sprint and iterate than wait for the perfect plan

Bonus:

Experience with native or hybrid mobile apps (iOS, Android, or React Native) from a PM, QA, or engineering seat

Familiarity with field service, construction, or other frontline/offline-first mobile use cases

Experience with Jira, Confluence, and mobile release/CI tooling

Compensation

Raleigh: $115,000 - $140,000 base + annual bonus opportunity

LA/SF: $118,000 - $147,000 base + annual bonus opportunity

Toronto: 100,000 - 125,000 CAD base + annual bonus opportunity

What we offer:

Generous equity grant, become an owner in our company!

A comprehensive benefits package

Flexible PTO and hybrid work schedules

One-time work-from-home allowance

Hubs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, and Raleigh with hybrid work schedules and lunch provided for in-office days

Fast-paced, collaborative, and dynamic work environment

Opportunities for growth and career advancement

Chance to work with cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions

The chance to get in on the ground floor and build something truly groundbreaking for ourselves and our amazing customers
