BuildZoom is the only trusted marketplace for high-value renovations and residential construction, a $250B market in desperate need of disruption. We guide people through the challenge of finding and hiring the right contractor for their project, saving them time, money, and aggravation. This year alone, we’ll manage nearly $400M in projects and are doubling each year with a clear path to becoming the category-defining company in residential construction.
We’ve built a powerful growth engine that drove nearly 50K consumer leads in Q3 of last year, which translates into around $4B in potential GMV. We are looking for a rockstar to join our Growth team and work directly with Co-Founder David Petersen, who runs the growth strategy, and helps us move even faster.
