About the role

We're hiring a Director, Strategic Partnerships to take PermitFlow's partner ecosystem to the next level. We already have a meaningful set of partners across our core categories - the mandate for this seat is to go deeper with the ones we have and aggressively expand the ones we don't. You'll own the strategy, expansion, structuring, and revenue accountability across the full partner portfolio. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years in Partnerships, Business Development, or Channel Sales - ideally at a B2B SaaS, vertical SaaS, ConTech, PropTech, or InsurTech company. You've signed real deals, run a partner number, and built joint motions that produced pipeline
  • Quota / revenue accountability in your past. You've owned a partner-sourced pipeline number or rev share target - and you've hit or exceeded it. You can talk about your funnel, conversion math, and partner economics fluently
  • Exec-level presence. You've pitched VPs and C-suite at $500M+ companies and held your own. You're polished with execs, blunt with operators, and adapt to both
  • Commercial sharpness. You structure deals that work. You know when to walk, when to push, and how to protect PermitFlow's economics. You don't sign vanity partnerships
  • Builder mindset. You're going to write the partner playbook, the standard contract, the QBR template, and the partner scorecard. You see infrastructure as the unlock for scale
  • High agency, low ego. You'll be in rooms with the CEO, CRO, Head of Product, and partner executives - often in the same week. You adapt, contribute, and don't wait for direction
More about this 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.

As the U.S. enters a new capex supercycle across data centers, factories, housing, and renewables, joining PermitFlow means building the AI infrastructure at the core of every construction project driving the next wave of reindustrialization.

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...
