Location- Our HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (3 in-office days per week).
Role Overview- We're hiring a Product Manager to lead critical product initiatives across PermitFlow's platform.
- This is a highly ownership-driven role at the intersection of AI, workflow automation, and real-world operational complexity. You'll work directly with engineering, design, operations, leadership, and customers to define products that simplify one of the most fragmented workflows in the physical economy.
- The best PMs here operate like builders and owners. They move quickly, prioritize ruthlessly, stay close to customers, and drive clarity in ambiguous environments.
- You will own problems end-to-end from customer discovery and product strategy through execution, launch, iteration, and measurable customer impact.
- This is not a role where you inherit a fully-defined roadmap. You'll help define what gets built, why it matters, and how the product evolves as the company scales.
What You'll Do- Lead a core product area focused on customer-facing workflows and AI-powered systems that simplify complex permitting processes
- Drive the full product lifecycle: discovery, prioritization, design, development, launch, and iteration
- Work directly with customers to deeply understand pain points, operational bottlenecks, and workflow inefficiencies
- Translate ambiguous real-world problems into intuitive, scalable product experiences
- Partner closely with engineering, design, operations, and sales to deliver products that create measurable customer and business impact
- Define product strategy, roadmap priorities, success metrics, and execution plans across teams
- Drive alignment across leadership and cross-functional stakeholders in a fast-moving environment
- Help establish product standards, operating principles, and execution culture as the PM organization scales
What We're Looking ForWe're looking for product leaders who thrive in high-ownership environments and enjoy solving operationally complex problems.
- 3+ years of product management experience shipping impactful products in startups or fast-moving environments
- Strong product judgment and ability to prioritize effectively across competing opportunities
- Experience leading product initiatives with meaningful business or customer impact
- Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and create clarity for cross-functional teams
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills across engineering, leadership, operations, and customers
- Strong analytical and problem-solving ability with a customer-first mindset
- Technical fluency and comfort working closely with engineering teams
- High sense of ownership, urgency, and accountability
- Bonus: experience with workflow systems, AI products, enterprise SaaS, or operational tooling
Why This Role MattersThis is not a feature optimization role - it is a systems-building role inside a category being created in real time.
PermitFlow sits at the intersection of:
- fragmented real-world regulatory infrastructure
- high-friction operational workflows
- and emerging AI systems capable of automating end-to-end complexity
The products built here directly impact how quickly housing and infrastructure projects move from idea to execution.
This role offers rare leverage: you'll help define both the product experience and the operational foundation of a rapidly scaling company still early enough for individual decisions to meaningfully shape its trajectory.
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 FSA
- 401(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)
ClosingIf you're excited by the opportunity to build AI-powered products that simplify complex real-world workflows - and want to help define a category from the ground up - we'd love to talk.
