Hover is making the homeowner journey easy, transparent and fun. 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. With key investors, including Google Ventures and Menlo Ventures and leading insurance carriers such as Travelers, State Farm, and Nationwide, Hover is committed to changing the world, one home at a time. At Hover, we believe there is strength in diversity and are fostering an inclusive and diverse culture by hiring qualified, talented people from a wide variety of backgrounds.

About The Position

As Head of Production Operations, you’ll lead the evolution of Hover’s production engine as a human-AI system, combining people, tools, and automation to scale high-fidelity computer vision workflows. This isn’t just about managing process; it’s about designing an adaptive, intelligent operational stack that improves with every data point and model interaction. You’ll architect how humans and AI work together efficiently, build cost-effective systems that learn over time, and ensure our operations can flex and scale with product velocity. Your work will directly shape the performance, quality, and strategic value of Hover’s platform across multiple industries. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of technology, people, and operational excellence.

You’ll be responsible for designing and evolving a production pipeline capable of supporting our rapidly expanding customer and product base. You’ll look for every opportunity—from micro-optimizations to step-change innovations—to improve how we operate, scale, and deliver value. This role owns a major line of spend on the company P&L and has direct impact on the performance, trust, and growth of the Hover platform.

  • Exceptional communicator and cross-functional leader, credible with execs, vendors, and technical stakeholders alike
  • Experience with 3D, mapping, or computer vision pipelines is a strong plus, but not a requirement
