About BusRight
Districts run their bus operations on BusRight every school day. We’ve found product-market fit, and the business is growing. What we build next determines whether we stay a useful tool or become the platform K-12 transportation runs on. Our next Head of Product owns that outcome.
You’ll report to the CPO and own product and design end to end: strategy, roadmap, team and execution. You’ll be hands-on, setting direction, making calls and shipping, while you build the team around you.
What Success Looks Like
- You know BusRight’s users, market and product deeply.
- The product strategy is sharper and clearer, built on what exists and backed by evidence.
- You’ve shipped bets you owned from framing through delivery, and they moved customer and business outcomes.
- Product drives BusRight. The right team is in place, and every function builds from its direction.
- Customer value is measured and reported across BusRight’s products and services, and that evidence drives roadmap and commercial decisions.
- The CPO, CEO and Engineering treat you as a trusted thought partner on where the product goes next.
What You Will Do
- Work with the founders to define and pressure-test where BusRight wins.
- Translate strategy into a living roadmap where every priority and commitment is tied to the value it delivers.
- Own the product lifecycle from discovery through launch and outcome measurement.
- Own product analytics, defining how BusRight measures adoption and usage and partnering with CS and Commercial to put those measures to work.
- Report on the value customers get from BusRight’s products and services, and use it to guide roadmap and commercial decisions.
- Make the hard calls on what not to build, and what to give up on when it isn’t working.
- Partner with Engineering to ship reliably at scale without losing speed.
- Stay in direct contact with users and customers. This role doesn't delegate learning.
- Represent product in board conversations, partner discussions, and recruiting
- Hire, develop and retain a world-class product and design team as we scale.
- Hold the product team to a high bar of rigor, craft and accountability to outcomes, not output.
- Build a product-led culture across BusRight, where every team understands customer value and brings evidence to its decisions.
What We Are Looking For
- Leadership experience: 3–5 years in product leadership, with meaningful time at early-stage or high-growth companies.
- Product-market fit: found it rather than inherited it. In the room while the answer was still unclear, made bets, got some wrong, cracked it, and can tell that story in detail.
- Consumer product experience: a feel for what makes people love a product and come back to it. EdTech is a plus, not a requirement.
- Product and design ownership: has led product design as well as product management.
- Team building: a track record of hiring and developing strong PMs at early-stage companies.
- Metrics-oriented: frames problems in numbers, sets clear success measures and knows when the data is strong enough to act on.
- Technical depth: works through trade-offs with engineers. Coding is a plus, not a requirement.
- AI-native: uses AI to research, analyze, prototype and validate, knows where it belongs in the product, and sets the standard for how the team uses it.
- Ownership mindset: sees what needs doing and does it without being asked.

Tips for Your Head of Facilities Management Job Search
Quantify your managed portfolio on your resume
Hiring managers want to see square footage overseen, number of sites, and annual maintenance budgets you controlled. Listing these figures alongside outcomes, like reduced downtime or cost savings, tells a clearer story than a list of responsibilities.
List your certifications above your job titles
Credentials like CFM, FMP, or LEED AP carry significant weight in facilities leadership hiring. Place them prominently near the top of your resume so they're visible before a recruiter reads a single work history line.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists head of facilities management openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter by industry to target your search
Facilities leadership roles in healthcare operate under very different compliance demands than those in corporate real estate or logistics. Narrowing your search by industry lets you focus on openings where your specific regulatory experience, such as Joint Commission or FDA standards, is directly relevant.
Prepare a capital project walkthrough for interviews
Many interviews for this role include a scenario question about managing a large renovation or infrastructure upgrade. Have a specific project ready, covering scope, budget, vendor selection, and how you handled overruns or delays. Generic answers about team leadership won't satisfy a facilities-focused hiring panel.
Negotiate scope and resource authority, not just salary
When you receive an offer, clarify what budget authority, headcount, and procurement approval thresholds come with the role. A head of facilities management title without real operational authority limits what you can accomplish and what you can put on your resume next.
Head of Facilities Management Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most head of facilities managements?
Wolfoods, Cavender's, and Lowe's Home Improvement are hiring the most head of facilities managements right now, with openings concentrated in California, New York, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Healthcare systems, large universities, and corporate real estate operators tend to post the most consistent volume.
How many head of facilities management jobs are remote?
About 45% of head of facilities management openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most facilities leadership roles. The sub-areas most likely to offer hybrid arrangements include portfolio strategy, vendor contract management, and sustainability program oversight, where on-site presence is less constant.
How do you become a head of facilities management?
Most people reach this role by progressing through facilities coordinator, supervisor, and manager positions over several years. Building experience across both hard services, like mechanical and electrical systems, and soft services, like janitorial and security, broadens your profile. Earning a CFM or FMP credential and demonstrating budget ownership at a mid-level position are the most common steps before moving into a head-level role.
Can you get hired as a head of facilities management with limited experience?
It's uncommon to step directly into a head of facilities management role without prior management experience, but a few paths exist. Coming from a related discipline, such as construction project management or property operations, with strong leadership credentials can substitute for a traditional facilities career path. Smaller organizations and startups building out their facilities function for the first time are more open to candidates with adjacent experience.
What does the head of facilities management interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a recruiter or HR screen, followed by a panel interview with operations leadership, finance, and sometimes real estate or legal stakeholders. Expect at least one scenario-based round focused on a past capital project, emergency response, or vendor dispute. Final-round candidates are often asked to present a facilities strategy or first-90-days plan before an offer is extended.
