About the role

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.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We’re entering our next stage of growth — transforming a proven product into a scalable, predictable growth engine — and building the brand that will define our category.

You’ll architect our growth systems, test and refine new channels, strengthen our product positioning, and lead a small, high-leverage team tightly aligned with Sales and Product. We’re looking for a highly analytical, hands-on, and creative marketer who can own pipeline generation end-to-end — from strategy to execution — and help make PermitFlow the category-defining brand in construction tech.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You’ll own the strategy, execution, and growth engine that powers our next chapter of company expansion.

1. Build a Predictable Pipeline Engine

  • Own the marketing-sourced pipeline number, driving consistent Marketing SALs across core marketing channels.

  • Drive data-driven experimentation of new channels — fast testing loops, creative iteration, and funnel optimization.

2. Lead ABM and Enterprise Demand

  • Design and execute account-based marketing (ABM) campaigns that warm key enterprise and mid-market accounts.

  • Partner with Sales on 1-to-1 tactics: examples could include tailored ads, custom mailers, event activations, and prospect-specific collateral.

3. Strengthen Product Marketing and Positioning

  • Own ICP clarity, competitive messaging, and value propositions across verticals.

  • Build enablement materials that convert — one-pagers, decks, landing pages, and case studies.

  • Partner with Product and Sales to tighten feedback loops and refine positioning by segment.

4. Build and Elevate the PermitFlow Brand

  • Define the PermitFlow brand narrative and identity across all touchpoints — visual, verbal, and experiential.

  • Position PermitFlow as the category-defining leader in AI-driven pre-construction.

  • Ensure consistent storytelling across marketing, sales, and customer communications.

5. Lead Content Strategy Across the Customer Lifecycle

  • Oversee content strategy spanning the full marketing, sales, and customer lifecycle — from awareness to advocacy.

  • Develop narratives, campaigns, and thought leadership that educate and inspire the market.

  • Partner cross-functionally to ensure content drives measurable engagement and pipeline impact.

6. Optimize the Funnel and MarTech Stack

  • Improve data visibility across every stage of the funnel.

  • Build a best-in-class MarTech stack that drives real results.

7. Build and Lead a Lean, High-Leverage Team

  • Manage and coach internal marketers and external agencies.

  • Define success metrics, accountability, and an experimentation culture.

  • Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Product, RevOps, and Leadership to align GTM strategy.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

  • 30 Days: Audit all current programs, clarify funnel metrics, establish baseline dashboards, and identify quick wins. Begin experimenting with new channels.

  • 60 Days: Deliver a refreshed positioning narrative. Standup and launch first ABM campaigns. Evaluate new channel experiments and adjust accordingly.

  • 90 Days: Hit our monthly SQL targets, improve our inbound conversion rates, and maintain strong alignment with Sales on pipeline attribution. Position PermitFlow as the leading AI-powered platform in the built world.

WHO YOU ARE

  • Full-stack B2B marketer with 7–12 years of experience across demand generation, ABM, and product marketing, ideally in a startup or scale-up environment.

  • Builder-operator: You can architect systems and run campaigns yourself.

  • Excited by ambiguity and speed. You move fast, test ideas, and iterate.

  • Data-driven decision maker: Numbers speak louder than words to you. Setting up metrics to track success is as important to you as the experiment itself.

  • Deep familiarity with HubSpot, Salesforce, paid media, and marketing analytics.

  • Proven ability to partner with Sales and drive measurable pipeline impact.

  • You’re excited by the idea of building the marketing foundation for a category-defining company — and seeing your work directly shape how cities, homes, and businesses get built.

  • (Bonus) Experience marketing to construction, proptech, or vertical SaaS audiences.

What We Offer (Full Time Roles Only)

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth company

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage

  • Flexible PTO and paid family leave

  • Home office & equipment stipend

  • Hybrid NYC office culture (3 days in-office/week) with direct access to leadership

  • In-Office Lunch & Dinner Provided
