Staff Product Analyst, Operations

Hover helps people design, improve, and protect the properties they love. With proprietary AI built on over a decade of real property data, Hover answers age-old questions like “What will it look like?” and “What will it cost?” Homeowners, contractors, and insurance professionals rely on Hover to get fully measured, accurate, and interactive 3D models of any property — all from a smartphone scan in minutes. At Hover, we’re driven by curiosity, purpose, and a shared commitment to serving our customers, communities, and each other. We believe the best ideas come from diverse perspectives and are proud to cultivate an inclusive, high-performance culture that inspires growth, accountability, and excellence. Backed by leading investors like Google Ventures and Menlo Ventures, and trusted by industry leaders including Travelers, State Farm, and Nationwide — we’re redefining how people understand and interact with their spaces. Why Hover wants you You bring a first-principles mindset to messy operational questions and don't wait to be handed a fully-scoped problem — you find the signal in the noise and drive toward an answer. You're comfortable moving between rigorous statistical thinking and practical, ship-it analysis, and you want a seat where your work directly shapes how a growing company understands its own cost drivers. If you're energized by ambiguity, curious about applying data science techniques to real operational levers, and want to grow your career at the intersection of analytics and AI-enabled tooling, this role was built with you in mind. You will contribute by You'll own the analytical backbone of Hover's Operations function, working to understand what actually drives turnaround time (TAT) across our property-scan review computer vision pipeline. That means designing and running experiments and statistical models to isolate the real impact of process changes — including proprietary techniques Hover has already shipped to make our BPO partners' jobs easier. You'll build the reporting, alerting, and tooling that tells the team when and how each part of the ops pipeline is being used, so decisions are made on evidence, not guesswork. You'll work cross-functionally with Operations, Finance, and Analytics Engineering to bring a sharper, more scientific lens to how Hover measures and improves its operations, and you'll have real latitude to develop your own point of view and advocate for it.
