ABOUT US

Yard House Group is a residential construction and development company in San Diego, California. We're making housing more affordable by productizing construction, building ADUs, single-family homes, and small multifamily projects through a repeatable system instead of one-off custom builds. We have a growing team, a full pipeline of active projects, and a lot more coming. We're scaling fast.

THE ROLE

I'm the President, and I have a million things going on. I need a right-hand person who keeps me on track, manages the chaos around me, and takes real work off my plate so I can focus on the company's biggest challenges.

This isn't a calendar-and-inbox role. You'll be working inside the construction side of the business every day, so you need to read drawings, understand scopes of work, and speak the language of contractors and vendors.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Procurement: Call and email vendors and subcontractors, request bids, follow up until they come in, and organize them in bid leveling sheets so we compare apples to apples
- Vendor compliance: Collect Certificates of Insurance (COIs) from vendors and subs, check them against our requirements, track expirations, and keep our records current
- Project management: Keep our project management platform updated with accurate project data, including schedules, documents, statuses, and action items
- Client coordination: Keep homeowners and clients informed, schedule meetings, send updates, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks
- Executive support: Know what's on my plate before I do. Track my priorities, deadlines, and follow-ups, prepare me for meetings, and push things forward without being asked
- Special projects: Research, analysis, documents, and whatever else the business needs that week

REQUIREMENTS

- Master's degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, earned in the United States
- Ability to read construction drawings and understand scopes of work and specifications
- Excellent written and spoken English. You'll be on the phone with U.S. vendors and clients daily
- Highly organized and detail-oriented, with no dropped balls
- Proactive. You anticipate what's needed and act on it
- Comfortable with spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets), project management software, and learning new tools quickly
- Reliable internet, a quiet workspace, and availability during U.S. Pacific business hours

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience with U.S. residential construction, estimating, or procurement
- Familiarity with California building codes or
- Prior experience as an EA or project coordinator for a busy executive

WHO YOU ARE

We work hard. Everyone on this team does. We're looking for someone who loves work, gets real satisfaction from getting things done, and wants to be part of building something big. If you want a quiet 9-to-5, this isn't it. If you want to be in the middle of the action, learn fast, and grow with a company that's scaling, we want to hear from you.

HOW TO APPLY

Send your resume and a short note covering:
1. Where you earned your master's degree, and in what field
2. One example of a time you managed a lot of moving pieces for someone
3. Your availability during U.S. Pacific Time hours

Start your application with the subject line "Right Hand" so we know you read the whole post.
