About the role

At BuildOps, we're building a groundbreaking software solution designed to empower today's commercial contractors. From service management to project execution, we're reimagining how our customers operate. Our team thrives on ambition, innovation, and collaboration-qualities we look for in every new hire. As the Manager, Data Architects - Professional Services , you'll own the data architecture and migration strategy that underpins BuildOps implementations, reporting, and long-term customer success. You'll lead a team of Data Architects responsible for data discoveries, migration plans and cutovers, reporting packages, and complex ETL projects-shaping how data flows across our most strategic customers.

Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing team of Data Architects; own hiring, onboarding, performance, and career growth.
• Own the end-to-end data architecture for implementations, including core data models, source-system mapping patterns, and standards for staging, validation, and reporting.
• Define and maintain reference architectures and reusable playbooks for migration and reporting scenarios (e.g., ServiceTitan, SAMPro, QuickBooks, Intacct, NetSuite, Vista).
• Set strategy and standards for data discovery, mapping, transformation, validation, and cutover; enforce data quality thresholds for go-live.
• Partner with Implementation, Solutions Architecture, Integrations, and Product & Engineering to translate business/reporting needs into concrete data designs.
• Design and roll out SOPs, tools, and documentation that make data work scalable, predictable, and easy for the broader PS org to leverage.
• Own data delivery planning and capacity across implementations; track throughput, quality, and rework, and proactively flag risks and mitigation options.
• What We Look For
• Required
• 7+ years in data architecture, data engineering, or advanced analytics, including hands-on experience with data modeling, ETL/ELT, and BI/reporting.
• 3+ years managing data-focused teams (analysts, architects, engineers, or similar) with a track record of building high-performing teams.
• Strong practical experience with relational data modeling and multiple source systems (FSM, ERP, accounting, CRM, etc.).
• Proven success leading data migration or large-scale data initiatives in SaaS implementations or enterprise programs.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills; able to explain complex data concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Systems-thinking mindset with a bias toward pragmatic, repeatable solutions over one-off custom work.
• Preferred
• Experience with commercial mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or similar contracting businesses.
• Hands-on experience with accounting/ERP systems (e.g., QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Vista, Spectrum).
• Familiarity with modern data tooling (SQL warehouses, ETL/ELT platforms, dbt, BI tools) and integration patterns.
• Experience in B2B SaaS, especially in Professional Services, implementations, or customer success.
• Experience building or contributing to internal tooling for data mapping, validation, or bulk operations.

Requirements

• A people-first leader who can set clear strategy and dive into details when needed.
• Comfortable owning complex, cross-functional programs that touch implementations, integrations, and analytics.
• Pragmatic, structured, and focused on creating scalable patterns rather than bespoke solutions.
• A strong communicator who can align technical and non-technical stakeholders, even under pressure or tight timelines.
