PermitFlow is an applied AI company transforming construction permitting workflows. The company has raised over $90M from top-tier investors including Accel, Kleiner Perkins, and Y Combinator, and serves the nation's fastest-growing construction companies by automating permitting, licensing, inspections, and project closeouts across ~20,000 jurisdictions. As Product Lead, New Products, you will define PermitFlow's next major product bets and drive commercial outcomes across new markets. This is a high-ownership role reporting directly to the Head of Product, positioned as the company's first Product Lead and most senior product individual contributor. Key responsibilities include: taking core permitting and inspections products into new markets in partnership with GTM and Operations; building frameworks with Business Operations for market sizing and testing new bets; designing and validating new products from hypothesis through pilot, launch, and delivery; leading cross-functional work streams across Marketing, Product, Sales, and Operations; owning launch readiness including positioning and sales narratives; ensuring cross-functional partners are enabled to deliver at high quality; and setting the standard for product craft while supporting the Head of Product in hiring and team building. You will operate at the intersection of product strategy, commercial strategy, and cross-functional execution. The role offers unusual access to leadership and involvement in critical business decisions—ideal for those seeking experience driving commercial outcomes or with founder, GM, or Head of Product ambitions. Required qualifications: 9+ years of product experience or equivalent track record as founder, GM, or operator with commercial ownership; proven experience taking a product from zero to commercial revenue in a startup or high-growth environment, or significantly accelerating revenue growth on an existing offering; direct experience moving a company into new customer segments or markets; pricing and packaging judgment; fluency with long, multi-stakeholder buying cycles and formal procurement; comfort with services-heavy delivery models; technical fluency; and ability to operate effectively in ambiguity while driving strategic clarity. HQ is in New York City with a hybrid schedule (Monday, Wednesday, Friday in-office). The company prefers NYC-based candidates or those open to relocation.
