Product Lead, Products

Permit Flow 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. Permit Flow 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 Permit Flow 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, Service Titan, Zillow, Plan Grid, and Uber.

• Construction is one of the largest industries in the world - and one of the most operationally fragmented.

• Before anything gets built, projects must move through permitting and pre‑construction workflows spread across ~20,000 jurisdictions, each with different rules, systems, and processes.

• The result is a massive bottleneck slowing down housing and infrastructure across the country.

• Permit Flow is rebuilding this layer from the ground up - using modern software and AI systems to automate and orchestrate permitting end-to-end.

• We are still early. The product surface area is expanding rapidly, the workflows are deeply complex, and the opportunity to shape how this industry operates is enormous.

• This is one of those rare moments where product decisions directly influence how the physical world gets built.

• Our HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (Monday, Wednesday and Friday in‑office). We prefer NYC‑based candidates or those open to relocation.

• We're hiring a Product Lead to define what Permit Flow builds next, reporting directly to our Head of Product. This is a high ownership role that will require exceptional execution across new product development and commercial strategy.

• Permitting is the gate every construction project's data passes through, giving us a route upstream into design, pricing, and feasibility, and downstream into procurement and scheduling. This role will be responsible for delivering our next planned bet, then expand into identifying, designing and delivering the next set of major products we will deliver in early 2027.

• The ideal candidate for this role will be able drive outcomes across the organization, working with GTM, Operations and Business Operations to size markets quickly, test cheaply and price effectively. You will get unusual levels of access to leadership and be involved in making critical decisions for the business. It is a great opportunity for anyone looking to gain experience driving cross‑functional commercial outcomes and/or with ambitions to be a future founder, GM or Head of Product.

• This role is our first Product Lead. You will start as our most senior individual contributor, with the ability to build a team as you grow the products you ship.

You will operate across product, commercial strategy, and cross‑functional execution:
