How to Apply for Senior Product Manager (all genders)
at Gropyus
🏢 About Gropyus
Gropyus is revolutionizing construction through technology-driven sustainable building solutions, focusing on creating affordable, resource-conserving structures. Unlike traditional construction firms, they integrate tech innovation directly into building processes, making them a unique player at the intersection of construction, sustainability, and technology.
About This Role
This Senior Product Manager role involves leading the development of scalable building solutions by translating complex construction needs into actionable product roadmaps. You'll bridge technical engineering requirements with factory production realities, ensuring products are both innovative and operationally feasible in a sustainable construction context.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves collaborating with engineering teams on technical building requirements, working with production teams to ensure factory feasibility, analyzing construction data to inform product decisions, and prioritizing roadmap items that balance sustainability goals with operational efficiency. You'll spend time in both digital planning environments and production-focused discussions about physical building systems.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Gropyus Is Looking For
- 7+ years in architecture/building engineering with B2B or platform-scale experience, specifically in construction technology or prefabricated building systems
- Bachelor's degree in architecture or building engineering, plus hands-on experience with industry-specific software like BIM, Revit, or construction management platforms
- Proven ability to manage the full product lifecycle in construction tech, balancing customer needs with factory production constraints
- Experience driving standardization and reducing complexity in building product development processes
