Customer Success Manager

AI overview

As a key player in the Customer Success team, you'll manage contractor relationships, drive product adoption, and develop processes that support rapid growth in the construction sector.

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.

America is entering a CAPEX super-cycle, from data centers and factories to housing and renewables, and joining PermitFlow is building the AI at the heart of every construction project powering the next wave of re-industrialization.

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.

Our HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (3 in-office days per week). We prefer NYC-based candidates or those open to relocation.

Who you are?

  • B2B Software Customer Success Expert: You've managed customers with 5-6 figure ACVs, and always take a pro-active approach that is thoughtful and detail-oriented.

  • Customer Focused: Build and maintain strong, long-lasting customer relationships. You'll be the go-to for our customers who keenly understands their business needs and how PermitFlow can fit in to their growth and success.

  • Thought Leader: Act as a key player in the CS process, iterating adoption all the way through advocacy.

  • Analytical: You're take a data-driven approach and are able to gather, format, and interpret data to leverage in customer conversations.
