Product Lead - New Products

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, 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. Location 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. Role Overview We're hiring a Product Lead to define what PermitFlow 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. What You'll Do Take our core permitting and inspections products into a key new market, partnering with GTM and Operations leadership on product, delivery, and pricing. Build a clear point of view with Business Operations on which markets we enter next, and the frameworks for sizing and testing new bets. Design and validate the next products we launch, from hypothesis through concept, pilot, commercial launch, and delivery. Lead cross-functional work streams across Marketing, Product, Sales, and Operations, supporting both tactical delivery and revenue momentum. Own launch readiness, including positioning, sales narrative, and the support model. Ensure cross-functional partners are enabled to deliver new products at high quality, from sales collateral through support SOPs. Set the standard for product craft as our first product lead, and support the Head of Product in hiring and holding the quality bar. Make the case for when a product line has earned dedicated PMs, and build that team when it does. What We're Looking For 9+ years of product experience, or an equivalent track record as a founder, GM, or operator carrying commercial ownership. Proven experience taking a product from zero to commercial revenue in a startup or high-growth environment, or experience significantly accelerating revenue growth when inheriting a 1-100 product offering. Direct experience moving a company into a new customer segment or market, across buyer, sales motion, delivery model, and price. Pricing and packaging judgment built on direct experience. Fluency with long, multi-stakeholder buying cycles and formal procurement processes. Comfort with a services-heavy delivery model where product decisions drive staffing and delivery cost. Technical fluency and comfort working closely with engineering teams. Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and a track record of driving strategic clarity in a way that improves the delivery of cross-functional teams. High sense of ownership, urgency, and accountability. What We Offer Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth company. 100% company-paid base medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees + healthcare FSA401(k) savings plan. Unlimited PTO and paid family leave. Home office & equipment stipend. Daily in-office lunch and dinner provided. Commuter benefits (pre-tax transit and parking).
