Join a fast growing start up changing the real estate investing industry! 

Backflip is a venture-backed FinTech company that empowers anyone to improve their life and their neighborhood through real estate investing. To do that, we need people who are inspired to reimagine and rebuild an outdated and unbalanced system; to support and celebrate America’s local entrepreneurs. Check out the Backflip app here to experience first hand how we're making a difference through our technology.

Backflip is seeking a Head of Construction to oversee all aspects of construction project oversight within our business-purpose loan funnel (“fix & flip” investments). This role will be responsible for developing and implementing processes to assess construction budgets and feasibility, review and approve change orders, manage draw and funding process, and build a knowledgeable team that collaborates directly with borrowers to optimize their projects. 

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in residential construction management, project management, or real estate development, with a proven ability to lead teams, streamline processes, and ensure successful project outcomes in a remote environment while prioritizing customer experience. They will also play a key role in ensuring Backflip’s Culture continues to be enlivened in the operation. This position reports to the Senior Director of Loan Operations.

This position is remote (U.S.) and a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor (~75 person team) working directly with senior leaders in a well-capitalized startup with a great culture (Check out our recently announced $15M Series A).
