Product Manager (Senior / Lead / Staff)

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, https://www.permitflow.com/blog/permitflow-series-b from top-tier investors including Accel, Kleiner Perkins https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7401703305569275904/, Initialized, Y Combinator, Felicis, and Altos Ventures, with backing from leaders at OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber. BUILDING THE AI INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CONSTRUCTION - 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. - PermitFlow 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. LOCATION - Our HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (3 in-office days per week). ROLE OVERVIEW - We’re hiring a Product Manager to lead critical product initiatives across PermitFlow’s platform. - This is a highly ownership-driven role at the intersection of AI, workflow automation, and real-world operational complexity. You’ll work directly with engineering, design, operations, leadership, and customers to define products that simplify one of the most fragmented workflows in the physical economy. - The best PMs here operate like builders and owners. They move quickly, prioritize ruthlessly, stay close to customers, and drive clarity in ambiguous environments. - You will own problems end-to-end from customer discovery and product strategy through execution, launch, iteration, and measurable customer impact. - This is not a role where you inherit a fully-defined roadmap. You’ll help define what gets built, why it matters, and how the product evolves as the company scales. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Lead a core product area focused on customer-facing workflows and AI-powered systems that simplify complex permitting processes - Drive the full product lifecycle: discovery, prioritization, design, development, launch, and iteration - Work directly with customers to deeply understand pain points, operational bottlenecks, and workflow inefficiencies - Translate ambiguous real-world problems into intuitive, scalable product experiences - Partner closely with engineering, design, operations, and sales to deliver products that create measurable customer and business impact - Define product strategy, roadmap priorities, success metrics, and execution plans across teams - Drive alignme
