Permit Operations Lead (Fully Remote)

PermitFlow is redefining how America builds. We’re an applied AI company serving the nation’s builders, tackling one of the largest information challenges in the economy: understanding what can be built, where, and how. Our AI agent workforce helps the fastest-growing construction companies navigate everything from permitting and licensing to inspections and project closeouts – accelerating housing, clean-energy, and infrastructure development across the country.

Despite being a $1.6T industry, construction still suffers from massive delays, wasted capital, and lost opportunity. PermitFlow has already delivered unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to over $20B in development, helping contractors reduce compliance time, de-risk projects, and scale with confidence.

As the U.S. enters a new capex supercycle across data centers, factories, housing, and renewables, joining PermitFlow means building the AI infrastructure at the core of every construction project driving the next wave of reindustrialization.

We’ve raised over $90M, most recently completing our Series B, from top-tier investors including Accel, Kleiner Perkins, Initialized, Y Combinator, Felicis, and Altos Ventures, with backing from leaders at OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber.

Who You Are

  • Customer-Centric: You excel at building and maintaining strong customer relationships, understanding each customer’s unique needs, and identifying how PermitFlow can support their success and growth. You are comfortable and thrive at connecting with customers virtually – spearheading meetings and serving as the face of PermitFlow in all your interactions.

  • Construction Permitting Expert: You have extensive hands-on experience in construction or construction permitting directly, with a thorough understanding of regulations, compliance, and the full permit lifecycle. You’re excited about this space and the construction industry at large.

  • Team Player: You’re a key contributor to the customer journey from software adoption to full implementation. Collaboration is your strength, and you thrive in a cross-functional environment.

  • Analytical Thinker: You’re data-driven in your decision-making. You know how to gather, interpret, and leverage data to enhance customer conversations and improve processes.

  • Tech-Forward & Adaptable: You’re comfortable leveraging AI tools and emerging technologies to improve workflows and customer outcomes. You’re eager to learn and implement new software features, and you adapt quickly — ready and able to pivot to new processes at a moment’s notice.

What You’ll Do

  • Customer Point of Contact: Serve as the primary resource for customers, keeping them informed on permit status, timelines, and requirements.

  • Team Development: You are comfortable providing clear training, coaching, feedback, and direction to junior team members and oversee their work. You have the skillset to effectively manage a team, hold 1:1s with them, and empower them to learn more.

  • Manage the Permit Process: Oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of permit applications, including researching requirements, preparing forms, gathering documentation, and submitting applications to the relevant authorities.

  • Generate Reports: Produce detailed reports on permit progress, delivering regular, clear updates to customers and stakeholders.

  • Optimize Processes: Continuously identify opportunities for improvement, implementing best practices that streamline workflows, reduce bottlenecks, and enhance operational efficiency.

  • Ensure Compliance and Accuracy: Guarantee that all permit applications are complete, accurate, and compliant with jurisdictional standards and requirements.

  • Monitor and Expedite Approvals: Track permit statuses proactively, engaging with authorities to move applications forward as efficiently as possible.

Qualifications & Fit

  • 3-5+ years of relevant experience: Proven track record in construction permitting, project management, or a similar role—ideally within a SaaS or tech-driven environment.

  • Comprehensive knowledge: Strong understanding of permitting processes, regulations, and compliance standards, with awareness of jurisdictional differences.

  • Multi-state expertise: Experience managing permitting projects across multiple states or regions is highly preferred.

  • Exceptional project management skills: Ability to balance multiple projects and deadlines without sacrificing attention to detail.

  • Outstanding communication: Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work cross-functionally, manage customer relationships, and collaborate with AHJs.

  • Leadership experience: Preferred 2+ years leading, managing, and mentoring teams, including coaching, performance management, and team development.

  • Customer-centric mindset: Background in customer success, customer experience, or sales, with a demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality service throughout the project lifecycle.

  • Critical thinker and problem-solver: Able to stay calm under pressure, quickly assess challenges, and identify effective solutions.
