🚀 About PermitFlow

PermitFlow’s mission is to streamline and simplify construction permitting in the $1.6 trillion United States construction market. Our software reduces time to permit, supporting permitting end-to-end including permit research, application preparation, submission, and monitoring.

We’ve raised a $31m Series A led by Kleiner Perkins with participation from Initialized Capital, Y Combinator, Felicis Ventures, Altos Ventures, and the founders and executives from Zillow, PlanGrid, Thumbtack, Bluebeam, Uber, Procore, and more.

Our team consists of architects, structural engineers, permitting experts, and workflow software specialists, all who have personally experienced the pain of permitting.

Ideally, you’re based in NYC or willing to relocate for hybrid work. We’re currently hybrid in-person 3 days/week in our NYC office.

✋ Who you are?

• Proven Account Manager: You have experience managing a portfolio of 5–6 figure B2B SaaS accounts, with a strong track record of renewals and upsells.

• Revenue-Driven: You view customer management through the lens of growth — identifying expansion opportunities and working cross-functionally to drive account value.

• Strategic Partner: You excel at understanding customer business needs and translating them into actionable account plans that generate mutual success.

• Process-Oriented Operator: You thrive in an early-stage environment, helping to shape account management playbooks and contributing to scalable systems.
