Why PermitFlow Wants YouOur Commercial segment is the highest-permitting-pain, highest upside vertical in our business. The buying committee here is fundamentally different from other GTM motions we've built:
Architects, Engineers, and Owners (AEO) - plus the GCs and design firms who execute their programs - control permitting decisions for retail rollouts, healthcare and clinic buildouts, hospitality, industrial/logistics, and financial services real estate. This is a distinct, multi-stakeholder enterprise sale, not a variation of our existing playbooks.
We're already the clear leader in this space. It's a rare, wide-open opportunity to build the category-defining sales engine for Commercial - and to define how PermitFlow wins here for years to come.
You'll take ownership of PermitFlow's Commercial sales pod - today two AEs, scaling to 7 AEs plus dedicated BDR capacity. Reporting to our VP of Sales, you'll build the team, the playbook, and the sales motion largely from scratch: a land-and-expand, multi-stakeholder enterprise sale unlike anything else in our GTM organization today.
Your first hire/current team member operates under the Enterprise Account Executive - Commercial & National Accounts role - you'll own hiring, ramping, and coaching against that profile as you scale the pod.
This is a 0-to-1 leadership opportunity. You'll be defining how PermitFlow wins in Commercial.
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.
What You'll Do- Own revenue and team execution for the Commercial pod - two today, scaling toward 7+ Commercial AEs - including forecasting, pipeline hygiene, and deal visibility across long, non-linear sales cycles.
- Recruit, hire, and ramp Commercial AEs against the Enterprise Account Executive - Commercial & National Accounts profile, building the hiring bar, onboarding, and enablement for a segment with no established playbook.
- Lead and coach the team through complex, multi-threaded deals spanning Architects, Engineers, Owners, GCs, and Real Estate/REIT stakeholders - any of whom may be the ultimate buyer.
- Prioritize the highest-volume, lowest-complexity programs - Facilities and Commercial TI/remodel work - across target verticals including Retail & Big Box, Food & Beverage, Fitness & Wellness, Healthcare & Clinics, Financial Services, Hospitality, and Industrial/Logistics.
- Build ROI-driven business cases that resonate with enterprise owners, GCs, and architecture/engineering firm leadership.
- Partner cross-functionally with Solutions Consulting, BDR, Customer Success, and Ops to scope pilots, manage the CSM handoff, and keep delivery capacity ahead of land-and-expand growth.
- Build and refine comp, quota, and pipeline processes suited to Commercial's LVC/ARR hybrid revenue model, in partnership with RevOps.
- Surface field and customer insight to Sales leadership to inform the 2027 Commercial scaling decision and broader GTM roadmap.
- Travel as needed for customer meetings, industry conferences, and stakeholder-network visits.
