Product Data Manager

Inland Homebuilding Group•Tampa, FL

1d•$70,000 - $80,000•Onsite

About The Position

Inland Homes has been building in Tampa since 1988. We are in the middle of the most significant shift in the company's recent history, moving from master-planned communities into tailored infill homes in South Tampa, priced between $1.6 and $2.5 million. Every one of these homes has its own set of plans, options, pricing and specifications, and every one of them has to trace back to a blueprint that matches reality. When that data is wrong or out of sync with the plan, it costs us on the job site. This role exists to make sure it never is. This position owns our product data: the option catalog, the takeoffs and pricing, and the plans, renderings and selection sheets our customers and field teams use. Every piece of data has to tie back to the blueprint it came from. When a standard material changes, someone has to carry that change through every option and every takeoff, and confirm it still matches the plan, before it reaches the job site. When a plan gets revised for a specific lot, someone has to make sure the blueprint, the rendering, the floor plan and the selection sheet all say the same thing accurately. That someone is the Product Data Manager.

Requirements

Experience managing data or specifications across multiple linked systems, where one change has to flow through everything downstream accurately, and where the data has to match a physical plan or drawing. This could come from residential construction, manufacturing, engineering, architecture, or any environment with configuration control or bills of materials.
Familiarity with the estimating process, you can read a takeoff and spot when something does not add up.
You can read a blueprint against a rendering and see what does not line up.
You are comfortable working inside builder software, configuring plans, options and communities, or you have a track record of learning technical systems quickly.
You are the kind of person who is bothered by two documents with conflicting information.

Responsibilities

Maintain our option catalog across every plan, adding, revising and retiring options, with verified takeoffs and current costs, each one tied back to its blueprint.
Carry standard material changes through every affected option, takeoff and budget before they reach the field.
Maintain the master set for every plan, and keep blueprints, renderings, floor plans, inclusion sheets and option catalogs accurate and consistent with each other.
Check field prints against the master set and the current truss package before they go out.
Run a controlled release process for plan and option changes, so revisions arrive in batches rather than at random.
