Role
Who you are
- This role is crafted for those who are not just thinkers but doers; individuals who can marry strategy with execution, ensuring our operational gears are well-oiled and running seamlessly
- Professional Background: 3 years of industry experience in management consulting or financial services (e.g., private equity, investment banking, venture capital), corporate strategy, and / or strategy & operations at a high-growth start-up
- Strategic Expertise: Solid experience in operational strategy development and execution, with a knack for improving efficiency and growth
- Adaptability: Strong problem-solving skills and adaptability in a fast-paced startup environment, with a focus on strategic decision-making and operational agility
- Strong quant inclination: You can’t improve what you can’t measure. You’re very comfortable in excel / other data tools
- Clear communicator: We care more about results than analysis - clearly communicating your plan and driving action from the team will be as important to your success as your analysis
- Strong work ethic: From day 1, you will get responsibility and access beyond your tenure. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to take on challenges and put in the work to tackle them
- Team player: This is a cross-functional role. Your success will be tied closely to the success of the functions you’re supporting. Seeing your success as their success is critical!
What the job involves
- Collaborating with executives on business strategy
- Understanding ambiguous problems and creating plans to address them
- Owning and driving the problems you’re presented and the solutions you create
- Creating processes and policies that turn successful initiatives into long-lasting change
- Reporting on operational performance and putting forward improvements
- You will own strategic initiatives from problem identification to strategy to execution, working across every part of the organization
- As a fast-growing Series A tech startup, the problems will often be ambiguous and the data might not be as robust as we’d like. Success in the role will require a comfort with ambiguity, a test-and-learn mindset, and a strong bias toward fast action. The best path forward will often be a fast rollout with close monitoring and fast iteration. And the best solutions are often discovered in the weeds, not the clouds
- You will have the opportunity to drive real impact at a high-flying startup. You will also 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

Our take
Aiming to release value in the construction market, PermitFlow is an AI-powered construction permit application and management platform. It exists to simplify the pre-construction process for builders and owners, enabling them to move forward with projects more easily.
The company offers a standardized permit application workflow through which users can easily prepare and submit permit applications, receive approvals, and respond to municipal comments on one single platform. This saves time, reduces errors and shortens municipal review cycles, ultimately speeding up the time taken to permit.
Through the deployment of advanced technologies, PermitFlow has kept up with the needs of a changing market, benefitting builders and stakeholders across the nation. As AI has advanced, so too have the company's algorithms, bringing in new functionalities such as voice AI agents that can schedule an inspection as soon as a project is permitted.
