Honey Homes | Making Homeownership Effortless About Honey HomesHoney Homes is a membership service that makes home upkeep effortless. Members are paired with a dedicated handyman and a simple app to handle everyday to-dos, ongoing maintenance, and unexpected repairs. Our team includes leaders from Airbnb, Google, Opendoor, Yelp, Zillow, and Uber, and we're backed by Khosla Ventures, Era Ventures, Pear VC, and the co-founders of DoorDash, Lyft, and Opendoor.

About the role: We're hiring a Field Strategy & Operations Manager to lead our East Bay market, based in Lafayette. You'll manage two teams at once: a team of full-time handymen who serve our members, and a set of AI agents and tools that prep visits, draft member communications, monitor performance data, and keep the operation running. You’ll coach handymen in driveways and on ride-alongs, and you’ll review, correct, and improve the work your AI tools produce. The leverage from the second team is what lets you hold a higher standard with the first. This role is based in Lafayette, CA: about three days a week in the field across the East Bay and one day in our Oakland office. It is not a remote role.

What you’ll do:

Lead the Lamorinda market, focused in Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Tri-Valley and Concord
Hire, coach, and lead a team of handymen, owning quality, retention, and team culture
Run daily market operations with an AI toolkit: visit preparation, member communication drafts, scheduling, and performance dashboards
Review and verify agent output, and decide which workflows earn more autonomy over time
Own member experience in your market, including escalations, with hospitality and urgency
Partner with recruiting to keep your hiring pipeline ahead of growth
Use data to find problems early and build playbooks that fix them permanently
What you’ll accomplish in the first six months
Own market performance.
Quality, retention, utilization, and visit feedback, reviewed weekly from the dashboards and acted on.
Build and coach the handyteam.
Ride-alongs, structured feedback, and a hiring pipeline that stays ahead of plan.
Make the agent stack yours.
Adopt the AI toolkit, add your own workflows, and graduate at least one from human-reviewed to trusted automation with a verification habit that scales.
Set the hospitality standard.
Model it personally and train it, measured through member retention, visit feedback, NPS, and referrals.
Grow the market.
Hit utilization and retention targets as we expand coverage across the East Bay.
What you bring 3+ years of strategy, operations, or field management experience, ideally at a startup or tech-forward company
Real people leadership: you've hired, coached, and held a team accountable. Experience managing frontline or field teams is a strong plus
Hands‑on familiarity with home maintenance and repair is a plus
Analytical instincts: you use data and dashboards to guide decisions
A hospitality mindset and genuine care for customers and teammates
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
