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.
We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to work as the CEO’s extension and thought partner to execute on an increasingly complex and critical basket of priorities. It is a versatile role with ample opportunities to learn and make a difference, and is the perfect role for someone who wants a front-row seat as we grow.
You will get a lot of responsibility, exposure to different teams and parts of the company, the executive team, partners, customers, and investors.
You are a problem solver and self-organizer who thrives in ambiguity and fast-paced environments, and has a deep bias for action. You love being given ambitious goals and the freedom to figure out how to get there.
You will get full access to our decision making and internal reflections. We’re looking for high-drive and horsepower to help take PermitFlow to the next level.
