About The Position

Rebar is building the operating system for commercial HVAC, electrical, and plumbing suppliers and subcontractors. Our AI-powered quoting platform helps distributors and contractors modernize one of the largest and most operationally complex industries in the world. Over the past year, Rebar’s quoting product has scaled to thousands of quotes completed weekly, doubled revenue in 2026, and gained adoption among many of the top suppliers in North America. Fresh off a $14M Series A backed by leading construction technology investors, we’re entering our next phase of growth, and we are looking for a People Operations Manager to support our team. You’ll work directly with the CEO & CoS as well as every team to support smooth day-to-day operations of the company and will serve as a key partner across HR, accounting, and executive support functions. We’re transforming the $250B HVAC industry with AI-native software - an industry still largely untouched by modern tools. This is your chance to get in early.
