Job Description

What You’ll Do as a Director of Data Science & Analytics Platform

Despite having been fundamentally altered by earlier industrial revolutions, the construction industry has hardly budged with the computer revolution. In fact, since 1970, labor productivity in the US construction industry has actually declined, despite it more than doubling in the rest of the economy. This has contributed to housing shortages and the parlous state of infrastructure in some places, and is sanding the gears of carbon reduction efforts.

We think the industry is ripe for change, and we’re pushing the leading edge of that change with our next generation T3 Platform, the OS for Construction. Through T3, we help contractors to coordinate humans and (increasingly smarter) machines to build more effectively.

As our Director of Data Science & Analytics Platform, you will play a major role in this effort. In particular, you will:

• Lead our newly-formed Data Science & Analytics Platform group, which consists of three teams: Data Infrastructure, Data Modeling, and Science & ML Enablement, collectively dedicated to enabling industry-leading analytics, science and machine learning carried out by adjacent teams. You will be responsible for setting direction (ensuring alignment with the rest of the business), resourcing, and hiring and/or growing managers within this group.
• Attract and retain top talent, both in this group and in the related analytics and science/ML teams, as we grow these areas quickly.
• Work closely with other directors and executives across the builder and operations orgs to ensure best practices in terms of data access, security, traceability, etc.

Our mission is to change an entire industry, so we only hire people inspired by the goal and up for the challenge. In turn, our employees have every opportunity to grow with us, achieve personal and professional success and enjoy making a tangible difference in a crucial industry for human welfare.
