Lead Product Manager

🚀 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.

The problems we’re working on are messy and complicated – as is our process. We’re looking for a high-output product designer who is comfortable with ambiguity and a fast pace of design and development. You’ll need to balance visual design, UX, and product strategy – all while working closely with our engineering and operations team. As the second design hire, you’ll have a chance to influence the shape of our brand, process, and direction for the PermitFlow application.

We’ve built a lean and highly experienced product team thus far. We value creativity, collaboration, and sincere disagreements. You’ll be expected to work closely with executives, engineers, customers, and our nationwide network of municipal experts to shape the future of construction permitting.
