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.
Despite being a $1.6T industry, construction still suffers from massive delays, wasted capital, and lost opportunity. PermitFlow has already delivered unprecedented speed, accuracy, and visibility to over $20B in development, helping contractors reduce compliance time, de-risk projects, and scale with confidence.
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 Ventures, with backing from leaders at OpenAI, Google, Procore, ServiceTitan, Zillow, PlanGrid, and Uber.
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.
Permits don't happen in a vacuum. They sit inside a larger contractor stack - ServiceTitan, AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Salesforce, Procore, Buildertrend, CompanyCam - and they're funded, sold, and serviced through OEMs, distributors, financing partners, and trade associations. The contractor decision to standardize on PermitFlow is heavily influenced by who we integrate with, who recommends us, and who builds joint motions with us. Your job is to make PermitFlow the obvious permit layer of the home services and pre-construction ecosystem.
You'll report to the VP of Sales and partner closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, and the exec team. The role has clear pipeline and revenue accountability - partner-sourced and partner-influenced ARR are how we'll measure success.
What You'll Do
Define the partner strategy. Build the map: which categories matter (FSM/ISV, OEM/manufacturer, distributor, construction management, financing, trade association, AHJ/govtech, adjacent SaaS), where the leverage is, and which 5-10 partners we go deep with. Bring a point of view - don't wait for a playbook.
Recruit and sign foundational partners. Identify, pitch, negotiate, and close partnership agreements with target ISVs (e.g., ServiceTitan, AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Procore, Buildertrend), OEMs and distributors in HVAC / roofing / windows / doors / solar, financing partners, and trade associations.
Drive partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline. Carry a number. Partnerships exist to drive deals - referrals, co-sells, embedded distribution. You'll own a target for partner-sourced ARR and partner-influenced pipeline, and you'll be measured against it.
Build the joint GTM motion. Partner with Marketing on co-branded campaigns, webinars, dealer/distributor events, and conference presence. Partner with Sales on co-sell motions, account mapping, and joint pursuits. Make the "better together" story real, not theoretical.
Own contract structuring and negotiation. Lead deal terms - referral economics, rev share, co-marketing commitments, integration scope, SLAs. Build the standard partnership agreement template with Legal so future deals close faster.
Be the product feedback loop from the ecosystem. Funnel integration requirements, API gaps, and partner-driven roadmap input back to Product. You're the voice of the ecosystem inside PermitFlow .
Stand up the partner program infrastructure. Build the partner tiering framework, onboarding playbook, enablement assets, scorecard, and QBR cadence. Make it scalable so we can hire underneath you in 12-18 months.
Represent PermitFlow externally. Speak at industry events (IRE, AHR Expo, GAF Roofing Academy, NAHB IBS, ServiceTitan Pantheon, etc.). Be the face of PermitFlow 's partner motion to the ecosystem.
What We'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.
Track record of expanding and scaling, not just maintaining. You've taken existing partnerships from underperforming to producing real pipeline, and you've signed material net-new partners. You can talk through the mechanics of both motions - how you re-engineered a sleepy partner relationship and how you closed a cold one.
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.
Ecosystem fluency in home services / construction / contractor tech is a strong plus. Experience with FSMs (ServiceTitan, AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Workiz, FieldRoutes), construction management (Procore, Buildertrend), OEMs (GAF, Owens Corning, Carrier, Trane, Pella, Andersen), or financing platforms (GreenSky, Service Finance, Sunlight) is a major edge.
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.
What Would Set You Apart
Built or scaled an integration partner program with the FSMs and CRMs our customers actually run on - ServiceTitan, AccuLynx, JobNimbus, FieldEdge, Workiz, Salesforce, Procore, or Buildertrend
Prior partnerships with HVAC, roofing, windows, doors, or solar OEMs (Carrier, Trane, GAF, Owens Corning, Pella, Andersen) or major distributors (ABC Supply, Beacon, SRS, Ferguson)
Active relationships inside the PE-backed home services rollup ecosystem - sponsors, operators, or advisors driving multi-jurisdiction trade consolidation ( PermitFlow 's largest deals live here)
Experience with AHJs / govtech platforms (Accela, Tyler, OpenGov), embedded contractor financing (GreenSky, Service Finance, Sunlight), or the trade associations our customers belong to (NRCA, NAHB, ACCA, ABC)
