🚀 About PermitFlow

PermitFlow is redefining how America builds. Pre-construction remains one of the most broken and manual parts of the $1.6T construction industry, causing massive delays, wasted capital, and lost opportunity across the built world. Our AI workforce delivers unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to pre-construction — accelerating housing development, enabling clean-energy projects, and driving economic growth in communities nationwide. To date, we’ve powered over $20B in real estate development, helping builders and contractors move faster, reduce risk, and scale with confidence.

We’re entering hypergrowth with clear product-market fit and a world-class team from top AI and construction companies. We’ve raised over $36.5M from Kleiner Perkins, Initialized Capital, Y Combinator, Felicis Ventures, and Altos Ventures, alongside backers from OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber. We are on a mission is to modernize how the built world operates.

Our HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (3 in-office days per week). We prefer NYC-based candidates or those open to relocation.

✅ What You’ll Do

  • Identify fit, blockers, and key implementation paths early to ensure smooth customer launches

  • Own onboarding from sales handoff through go-live, managing timelines, customer communication, and success milestones

  • Configure workflows and processes aligned with customer goals, ensuring users can operate confidently and independently

  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly, collaborating with product and engineering when needed

  • Document best practices and repeatable playbooks to make future onboarding faster and more consistent

  • Capture and synthesize feedback from customers to inform product priorities and process improvements

  • Build materials, guides, and videos that scale onboarding and reduce repetitive support requests

  • Train internal teams on workflows, customer insights, and best practices to improve efficiency and alignment


🙌 What We’re Looking For

  • Must be a new grad with a 2025 graduation date.

  • Strong project management skills: you can juggle multiple customer implementations, keep timelines on track, and communicate clearly about risks and blockers.

  • High technical aptitude: comfortable learning new software, working with data, and understanding how systems connect, even if you are not writing production code.

  • Excellent communicator with strong presence on calls and in live demos, able to speak clearly with both operators and executives.

  • Bias toward action and ownership: you enjoy jumping into messy problems, figuring things out, and doing what it takes to get a customer live.

  • Ability to translate ambiguous customer needs into concrete workflows, configs, and product requests.

  • Startup mindset: scrappy, resourceful, comfortable with ambiguity, and energized by building processes that did not exist before.

  • Construction or permitting experience is a plus, but absolutely not required.
